shaving is a fact of life in this industry.

the question is, will u make more money sending to sponsor A who is shaving, but paying $40 a join, or sponsor B who isnt shaving but paying only $20 per join

the only way to really know for sure you arent being shaved is to use someone with processor stats you can look at, or affiliate software like NATS that has no shave feature built in like other software on the market.
