    Sealing the wound with CA should only be a half point deduction.

    I can tell you right now, based off of my personal tastes, there are some underdogs who have a real shot at this. I can also tell you that there are a few that while I do like using them, they are sort of just filler considering the competition. You might be able to guess which ones they are. Or not. So there really isn't a bad pick in here.

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    Yes, you must actually be driving the vehicle while shaving yourself. Otherwise it's just too easy.

    Bonus if simultaneously texting. Coffee optional.

    Double bonus if it came out of a cow pasture.

    To count, coffee must be at least 185 F. No lukewarm crap.

    I have a few favorites in there. I'll narrow it down before the deadline.

    How about this? I will shave with a merkur futur while driving on a gravel road in a pickup.

    And I am in for the bolt thing.

    G.O.A.T. - if you use a Feather wide open.

    Let me re run the scoring.

    9 categories with a possible 10 point each, 90 total.

    Every brush starts with a 5 in each category as a baseline. And moves up or down from there. I do not expect mega high scores, since we have so many kinds of brushes competing together, and once you award a ten, there is nowhere else to go. So consider that the brush I used today, and like a LOT only scored a 77/90.

    When R we doing this? They're washboarded and frozen solid for another month, then pure mud for two weeks before we will see any blading.

    Or the parking lot at a Phish show.
