Great idea! As a daily shaver, I’m never going to do a traditional Atlas Shaves in Feb. I don’t have anything to add that others haven’t already. I like the idea of DQs. Certainly works for the (my) geezer generation. I’m not sure how generations that grew up receiving a prize even for losing will like it.
As DJ says, those with a well-stocked den will have an advantage, but it’s wetshaving and that’s part of the hobby.
Yeah, that brush handle is a keeper!

— Travel shave. Tis the season for Autumn Ash. It must be used. And, as we all know, Cerberus matches zero or more soap scents.
Oh, MMMMFF! I’ve got to do at least one of these this month. Shire+Valedictorian sounds interesting!
Oh yeah. I’ll be visiting Desert Vetiver this month. That’s a given :)
