The First Annual Darkwing Challenge - Coming August 1st, 2026
I, Drake Mallard, a close personal friend of St. Canard’s greatest protector, Darkwing Duck, have been personally tasked by the Terror That Flaps in the Night to deliver an urgent bulletin to the citizens of r/Wetshaving!
It seems the shadowy forces of substandard lather have met their match. Darkwing has demanded I spread the word about Chicago Grooming Co.’s legendary, eponymous Darkwing soap base. To aid him in this glorious crusade against stubble, Launchpad (bless his clumsy heart) and I are hosting the 1st Annual r/Wetshaving Darkwing Challenge!
The Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It):
For the entire month of August, shavers in the know will commit themselves to the ultimate test of discipline.
You will use:
• One CGCO Darkwing Soap
• One Splash
• One Fragrance (if applicable)
For 31 days straight. No swapping. No straying. Pure, unadulterated dedication to the craft.
"But Drake!" you cry, "That's Austere August! What about Nightmare Mode?!" Well, suck gas, evildoers, because we’re upping the ante!
• The Basic Flair: Anyone who completes 31 shaves with the same CGCO software will earn the coveted challenge flair.
• The Nightmare Draw: For those brave souls who complete the month using the exact same brush, razor, and blade, you will be entered into a drawing to win a set of your choice (soap and splash or balm) from CGCO!
A Quick Tactical Update: Gosalyn—who has been terrorizing my budget lately—has already bypassed my authority and contacted Vida directly. Vida has confirmed she is ready to supply any and all participants who still need to secure their gear. Just head over to her site and get your order in.
However, the SHUSH intelligence network reminds us that the USPS doesn't always fly straight (honestly, they make Launchpad look like a precision pilot). Order your sets immediately so you aren't left high and dry when August arrives!
Now, steel your nerves, prepare your mugs, and...
LET’S GET DANGEROUS!
