I’m so happy I chose this setup for AA. This is my first tub of CGC, and $darkwing is allowing me to really get used to this A+ level base. And the MM14 is something else, one of my favorite razors in a long time.

Decided to throw in with $darkwing for AA since I’ve only used CGC once. This MM14 is incredible, really loving it.

Nice shave to close of JUJ. Let’s hope this exact helps us grab 2nd.

Thanks to everyone who played. Would love to have your feedback so we can do it again next year!

I haven’t used my Slim in a long time but made myself use it to get my team a badly needed exact today.

I’m thankful I did. Forgot how well this razor works for me. Should put it back in rotation.

Really great shave. I haven’t used either of these products in years. Varen has been a long favorite that I stopped using two years ago when my wife got pregnant; the Hydro Magic is just a great razor I always forget about.

It’s been a few days since I shaved. Since I didn’t have anything to snipe /u/Priusaurus with I didn’t see the point anymore.

But July is a new day, and I wanted to be sure to get signed up for a team. It’s also hot as hell, I needed a shower and to shave this nasty sweaty stubble off.

I found this razor at the bottom of a box. I have no recollection of getting it. I thought it was a Super Speed. It is not.

I am sorry, team, today I have no exacts to give you. But hopefully this one point will help move us ahead.

I shaved with this soap not because I wanted to, but because I needed to knock down a unique soap to make sure everything is working as intended. Yay for testing things 5 days into the contest.

First time using CGC ever. Great base and scent. Happy to have another company on my top tier list.

From here on out this month I’m planning to snipe people. Should be fun.
