I’d rather show you. 90s alternative, meet Johnny Cash. Probably my favorite Cash cover song. And Happy Birthday, @Paul Turner! I forgot to ask, is this thread unhijackable like the 30DC?
Is there an award for Most Subtle Enabling? That B&M 42 is available again. Petunias, ambergris, tea, and Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster.
Looks like a Canadian window scraper but the patent is still pending due to safety concerns. Posted the shave report in the 30dc forum.
Also added to the innovation & trailblazer category nomination. More nominations may follow, but on May 2, the Academy is holding them close to the vest. Cheers! (See what I did there?)
In an unprecedented move, the Academy is pleased to announce the first nomination for "Best Shave with an Item Least Suitable for Shaving" to an item actually originally designed for shaving. I'm sure in the gulag, Neal's Chernobyl brush passes for shaving gear, but I don't think anyone here will deny that the brush is completely not suitable for shaving. On the bright side, since questionable russian skin cream, first aid cream, or some other unverified communist cream was used in lieu of shaving cream, there may have been no need to apply any further first aid treatment had the shave gone wrong. @NCoxSTL: Cheers, congratulations, and don't forget to give Boris his toupe back after MAYhem is over.
It I within the above logic that I had thought about nominating my Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE razor for this award. It may not be the strongest and most attractive razor out there, but it works well enough with proper preparation(my shower bodywashes), and good, quality shave cream or soap. Thus, my decision to place it in nomination has yet to be reached.
A few thoughts, Paul. Probably my fault for not adequately explaining the rules regarding nominations this year. As such, I'm going to clarify in the original post to avoid further confusion. Sorry for my short sightedness. 1. The award is for the actual MAYhem shave, not the gear itself. The shave itself (and preferably pics since, as they say "pics or it didn't happen") must be posted in the 30DC thread in order to receive a nomination. 2. You can't nominate your own shave (or picture) for an award (with the exception of the "Nominate Yourself" categories, which are more like PIFs). Someone else in the 30DC must recommend a nomination to the Academy for a specific shave posted in the 30DC thread in order for it to be considered for a specific award. 3. The "Best Shave with an Item Least Suitable for Shaving" category is typically reserved for non-shaving items being used for a MAYhem shave (last year's nominees include shaves conducted with razors made using items such as a twig, a binder clip, and taping a blade to a finger with surgical tape). The idea is that someone pulls off a successful, drama free shave with something that no sane person would ever consider shaving with. As such, it is unlikely that the Academy would put forth a second nomination for a shave using gear that was actually originally designed for shaving. Having said that, based on the photographic evidence submitted by @NCoxSTL, the Academy is skeptical that the tussled mange attached to a metalic looking bulbous object utilized in the shave, was in fact, actually designed for shaving. We suspect it was harvested from the toupe of a cartel member gone wrong who was subjected to an "accidental" leopard attack, but we lack the evidence to prove this at this point. Fear not, though, the Cookie Revolutionaries have people "on the inside" who are looking into this as we speak.
OK thanks Randy....perhaps I should apologize too for not quite picking up on the previous rules set forth by the Academy. That leopard shot was scary!!(The poor guy must have been wondering where Lassie was).
No worries, brother. The "Nominate Yourself" section is new to the Shaveys this year, and probably warranted a bit more explanation than I gave it. If you were confused at the difference between the two, I'm sure others were as well. I went back to the original post and clarified, so we should be good to go now. Thanks!
One that any sane person would call in a stuntman for. Take, for example, the aforementioned twig shave, paperclip shave, bottle opener shave, paint scraper shave, etc. In short, the stuff of MAYhem.
Right-gotcha. They reminded me of how my Mom used to laugh when I'd pull out a credit card and scrape it across my face so she could "hear" how badly I needed a shave! Course that wouldn't be a stunt shave, as it wouldn;t cut off the whiskers as would the stunters.
Well, you could sharpen the creditcard and find a way to harden the edge enough that it would actually cut whiskers. Yup, just like that. Its a security setting within your PC. I can't view any external media when I look at the forum on my work PC, but I can see it on my phone as long as I am not on my work WIFI.
1)-I'd have to make sure it was an innocent credit card(that is, one you don't have to slide through a machine). Library, perhaps . 2)-Well, I suppose I'm grateful to get as much security in life as I can these days. But I do miss what you guys put out(although I can see SOME of 'em).
Nominations continue with 2 new entries in the "Best Shave with Item Least Suited for Shaving" category (congrats @9nein9 and @Screwtape)
