Correction on mine, I cut my finger making a case for my Kamisori. It was shave related, but not with a shaving blade. I do feel the Binder Clip shave was a surprising success, honestly the most successful of any of my Mayhem Shaves, and am sad it didn't get any nominations.
OK, Mayhem has scrambled my brain. I thought the bleeding was only in the construction of the finger shaver but the shave went well. Clearly the academy has lost a step or two this month.

The Pre Show Awards are complete! Congratulations to our winners below! If you are one of them and haven't already PM'd your address to the person providing the award, please do so at your convenience. The categories in the "big show" will be announced one at a time and each winner will be allowed to pick their shavy award before the next winner is announced by the academy. There is no rush here, so no need to be tied to the thread, the computer or the phone continually. If you're a winner, you've earned the Academy's highest (and only) honor, so we'll wait. Also, at any time, remember that anyone in the "30 Day" Thread is able to post on this thread to award a "dissenting" award (i.e. stick it to the man if you think a nominee was robbed) or a "supporting" award if you want to throw in extra cash, prizes and or cudos around. You'll be responsible for the delivery of those awards if you choose to participate. Again, congrats to the folks picking up awards so far.

I nominate Adam @Drygulch for "Most Competitive" for his attempt to remove his fingertip in order not to be bested in the MAYhem bloodshed standings. Nicely done Adam. Mystery prize to be supplied by our friend Fuzzy.
