    Remember, Jimmy, it's not if you win or lose, but IF you play the game!

    So close!

    One thing I can say if this gets rolling: Tape schmape. I will hone that double arrow as nature intended, spine unfettered.

    Wait, unless aesthetics and looking all pretty is a factor in the scoring....? Then I guess I'd be using that confounded sticky stuff.

    This sounds so cool. I'd be interested even if I became known as "Butterknife Bob" after the contest. I like to test my feeble skills once in a while, and I'd get a chance to get other opinions on how my honing is progressing.

    Ahh what the heck, count me in. That makes 19.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Another possible addition to the rules: the administrator could discard the highest and lowest score for each razor, just like with the olympics. This would result in a more dependable outcome.

    There are a couple of people who registered in the other thread, so even with 2 people dropping out, we should be able to hit 20.

    I have asked Bart to be the central organizer of this contest, and he has accepted.
    I think it is safe to say this will become real.

    We will have to do some preparation and discussing beforehand, but once we have something that looks workable we will post back here with the practical details and ask for feedback.

    Thanks for all the interest guys
