Thread: New poll: would you enter a honing contest / survey

YES!!!

Now the winner gets an all expense paid trip for two to either the Dovo or TI factory (their choice) or am I misunderstanding the grand prize?

Way Cool !!!!!


Game ON!!!!!

Aha!! The game is afoot. Now what, pray tell, is the game? As I poorly understand the goings on, razors will be honed and said honing will be evaluated by... evaluators. Who hones what and who tests what and what is the test? For instance, I can shave with the same razor on three different days and get three different results - this is on the same face, mind you, albeit this is probably with different soaps or creams, but still the same face, same razor, and same hands wielding said razor. So a shaving test may not be all that informative, particularly if different faces are the test media.

Can all the salient factors be re-iterated for those of us with wretched rememberies?

Thanks ever so much,

No, It 's trip to Ardennes Coticule where you will receive a close shave after the grand tour. Next two naked natural Belgian blonds will perform a facial scrub with a thick coticule slurry and you will be introduced later on that night on Belgian television as "the smoothest man alive".

I wish I wasn't joking.

But yes, we're going to put this show on the road!!!

The way I understand it, I'll send an entry fee to *someone*, and then I'll receive in return a double arrow razor. Then I do *something* to the razor, mail it back to *someone* and then sometime later someone will tell me whether or not I won. what else is there?

You 'll receive your razor back with some nifty graphs that show you how your razor was found by the jury to perform in the pack, for various criteria, such as ease of shaving, closeness of the resulting shave, absence (hopefully) of post-shave irritation.
Most likely, those Double Arrows will have an improved set of scales, and they will only be produced in a very limited number...

Here in the USA the only "naked natural blonds" I have run across were like a natural coticule, blond on top and brown below that.

Guys,

25 DA's are ordered.
There's no turning back now.

We're composing the jury and tweaking the rules at this very moment.

Outstanding, Bart! Glad to see this is coming together!

A Grand Prize of a Shapton 16k on glass would be cool, too. Not that I'd ever win, but still...
