I'm very likely naive, and Barrister and Mann is a Juggernaut for good reasons, but I'm hoping for the first upset in this tournament. SW doesn't just produce some of my favourite wetshaving software, but its association with u/phteven_j makes it feel more like a "home brand" of our sub. When I joined r/wetshaving, ptheven was one of the most active people on the sub, and his LG portal likely saved the Lather Games in 2021 (my rookie games which I really enjoyed).
Let me whisper of a dream of a NO-SW semifinal 🤞.
Great shave, unsurprisingly. SW's base is top notch, La Forêt de Analingus for Excellence in Shitposting is objectively the best SW (and Chatillon Lux, shout-out to u/hawns, too) scent in that it has had gushing reviews by an astounding 100% of its users, the Mystery brush is pillowy perfection and the WR2 is a mild BBS machine.
Having said this, BaM is another pillar of the (in this case) wider wetshaving community, with a bazillion scents and great performance. One really can't choose wrongly today.
I take it you won EiSP one year?
Yes, 2021, the last one
