Considering most Gizmodians – myself included – sit comfortably on the geek side of the manliness spectrum, that doesn’t mean we can ignore personal grooming. Well not for long, anyway. Fortunately, the good folks at Gillette reckon us geeks need looking after as well, so they’ve given us 25 Gillette Fusion Phenom packs to giveaway this week, so 25 of you can all enjoy what they reckon is their most comfortable shave. And if you happen to be a Holden fan, you’re in for an especially big treat.In the pack you’ll get a Gillette Fusion Phenom backpack (worth $19.95), a Gillette Phenom razor (worth $12.99), Gillette Fusion aftershave lotion (worth $9.99), Fusion Power Phenom Hydra Gel (worth $6.99) and a Holden team cap signed by Mark Skaife (It’s worth $29.95 unsigned, but who knows how much you could sell it on ebay for it’s worth with Mark’s signature?)
To enter, you need to tell us in 25 words or less, “What’s the closest shave you’ve ever had?” in the comments section below. The competition will close at 5pm on Friday May 1 and winners will be announced next Monday, May 4. Full Terms and Conditions can be viewed here (pdf file). Good luck!

Was having a puke in the bathrooms at work after a HUGE night out. Walked out just as the CEO walked in – to my cubicle.

Driving to work on a rainy day, while changing radio stations; the car in front of me braked suddenly. I missed him by centimetres and it shaved half the stubble off my face…

my closest shave was when I walked into a bank in the middle of a robbery – bullets flying about as I hit the floor, face down & pretended to be dead – shaving my chin in the process… needless to say I survived & the scar on chin is a memento!
