Thoughts for the day:
OK. I think I've done what I set out to do. I should have leveled up my MMOC flair, nabbed that neat Raw Hoggin' flair, and qualified for the mystery Mammoth flair after my second successful Mammoth Month run. Not too shabby, eh? Idk what to do with 3 flairs, but I guess now I'll find out.
The MMOC did just fine, again. I flipped my blade at the mid point for the lulz, but in case I wasn't explicitly clear, it did nothing and was not done with the intent of it doing anything. That's what lulz are. I didn't palm strop this year and saw no real discernable difference. Save your efforts unless you're banking on the placebo effect.
The most memorable thing this month was definitely the smell of rotting asshole, which again, I must thank u/djundjila for. I was planning to use my bleached knot this month, but his powers of persuasion were just too great. Thankfully that is over and now I have a beautiful stank-free knot to show for it. This time, the juice was worth the squeeze. Thank you for putting on this awesome challenge, u/EldrormR!!
Soap consumption wise, this 26mm Zenith used the same amount as I did last year scooping a gram a day and using a 26mm Maggard B&W knot, so this definitely challenged both my conception that scooping conserves soap, and that boars must kill all soaps. This was the set I picked up for participating in Mammoth Month last year, and it looks like it has another year in the tank.
Oh, and shout out to u/Joboozerum and the Mammoth Mafia crew for having such a high success rate this year (well, we still have todays numbers, but otherwise...), and for holding fast in spite of the trolls downvoting everyone. Y'all the real MVPs. Perseverance is generally rewarded... 😉
Total 🦣 Consumption: 30g (74g start, 44g finish)
Total number of times I beat u/Semaj3000 at his own challenge: 2
Mandatory Taggage:

u/ChrisdaBombz, it all fit! If I didn't jack up the first album it would have been glorious... 😅
Edit: fixed Shave 20 broken link. Imgur still sucks.
