Thanks for your kind offer! Maybe we could trade samples? I'd gladly try Pine Tar. Would you like one of Stirling's Texas on Fire ?

First off, thanks for organising these every time. Your efforts have my utmost respect and none of what follows is meant to be a personal critique. It's all meant in good faith.

I have to issue a few minor complaints:

• we should wait until every member who wants to participate has voted (walden doesn't mind this time, but I imagine it might be very disappointing if he indeed did want to vote); alternatively have a clear deadline to do so
• we probably should have a rule in place what happens when someone doesn't rank every soap. We had more than ever before this time, so I see how some people couldn't be bothered - but I personally think they deserve at least some token vote points
• likewise, we might need to limit nominations to one soap per member. As you said, there's always next month to suggest another one.

These are just minor issues, but I guess like every club we need to follow at least a bare minimum of rules. BVWSC has been really great so far and I find it charming how open and inviting our Lemmy community is.

Perhaps those are only personal issues though; I am of course open to discussion with other members and receptive for constructive feedback. Cheers & have a nice evening ✌🏻

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 😅

Basically PBNTs666 posts the voting thread separately, each nominated soap is a single comment. Voting doesn't work by upvotes, you'll need to clarify your choice/rank for each nomination by replying to the comments. When everyone has voted/ranked, PBNTs666 compiles the data and the soap with the best placings has won. 😉

Edit: just saw he already answered you. Well, I repeated what he said but in different words 🤷🏻‍♂️

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