It's not a stupid idea. Actually, I like it even though I'd most likely forget to participate. In fact, I even liked the OG Atlas Shaves... sure it was some goofy ~~shit~~ stuff with "pics of your scruff and pics of your dirty sink with the hair in it" rules but not everything needs to be serious business. It sure would've been better suited for November as that's also a month with beard/moustache growth challenges, but it was funny. Personally I like the strongman theme, but the actual competitions are hard to translate to wetshaving challenges anyway.

Plus 1 point for actively engaging with someone else

That's what I like the most. Fostering actual engagement with others is great.

Not the kind of challenge you can win by planning ahead.

That's probably what perfectly translates to strongman/strongwoman championships - participants have a general idea about what events will take place, but they're all subject to change - even last minute. Also, hell yeah for DQs - you can zero an event in strongman sport, but that generally costs you the competition.

I'd say you shave half of your face (or head) 3+ times per day. Goal is to look like Harvey (NSFW) by New Year's Eve 🤯

Thanks! I also appreciate you for being a part of our little community here. 👍🏻

MMMMFF is cool, I could see myself doing it more often; gives me something to look forward to on Mondays. Need more HoM though.

I know you pretty much run on themed shave days and even months (TabOKtoberfest, BBS November, Destroy your Dermis December etc.) but I'm frankly too inconsistent with my shaves to remember...

Ah the joys of wetshaving, a classic "I definitely don't need it, but I surely want it" hobby 😅

Perhaps some... Witch hazel would help?! 😉

04.11.2024 - MMMMFF Tobacco

• Brush: vintage yellow bakelite handle w/ 21 mm AP Shave SynBad knot
• Razor: GEM Micromatic Bullet Tip/Flying Wing (gold)
• Blade: GEM PTFE
• Lather: House of Mammoth - Tobacconist
• Post-Shave: HAGS Barberwood AS toner; Alterra men natural ASB

1 pass face shave to get back into the swing of things while still giving my face a bit rest after yesterday's rough shave. Comfortable shave but not close at all.

Oh look, Dave has done the MMMMFF thing despite his aversion to themed shaves! Yeah, sometimes a little nostalgia is all it takes to get me going. Tobacconist was great as always, the Flying Wing is perhaps the GEM razor with the best handle in terms of ergonomics for me and it's a pretty mild but efficient shaver.

I realized today that I totally lack any balms or toners with tobacco... I should change that. Weird justification for impulse buying? Maybe. It'll suffice though. 🤔

Congrats on the kill!

I also managed to cut my nostril [...]

The witches of the South should be pleased by your offering and shall grant you great shaves from now on! 🧝🏼‍♀️

JK, I hope it heals up soon. Cuts suck.
