Some how the word had got out, that Lord Vader and 1 loyal Stormtrooper, would be participating in the shave, as the crowds swelled.
So 1 handsome Lord made his way up on stage and was prepped for the encounter with a #2 bladed shaver

and didnt stop at the top of the head, but continued all around the face taking of the beard too!!![[Image: th_1978614_10151915866942000_219132529_n.jpg]](http://s45.photobucket.com/user/501qld/media/2014%20Campaigns/2014-03-15%20Wynnum%20Worlds%20Greatest%20Shave/1978614_10151915866942000_219132529_n.jpg.html)
Vader was done, and it was time for the Stormtrooper to take to the stage. TK-8547 informed the crowd, that the beard hasnt come off in over 20years!!

Apparently Stormtroopers cant sit down, so this presented a new challenge for the professional shaver. A chair was employed to meet this challenge

No beard too strong for 1 electric shaver
