My friends,
It's been a great 5 years! I've met a ton of really amazing people on the forums and I've even made a few friends. I've developed my shaving technique a ton from when I was using a cheap BIC and the cheapest canned goo I could find.... I went from owning over a hundred safety razors to about 8 and now I own over a hundred straights. I started honing soon after I learned to shave with a straight and now I can hone almost anything to a nice shave ready edge. I have a fairly large collection of aftershaves and soaps, but it seems like I always go back to 5-6 of them. I guess this hobby really has taken on a life of its own. Though, I'm more interested in getting other people started now than building my collection. So, I'd like to PIF everything you need to shave with a straight razor. I'm going to give away a new Straight Razor Designs 2" Black Latigo strop, a Straight razor which is TBD(it won't be a rat razor), some soaps and aftershave, and I think some other goodies TBD.
I want you to all know I think B&B is one of the best places on the internet and if it were a cigar and shaving shop in my home town, I'd never want to go home. There are so many diverse views and ways of doing things, but we never are less than gentlemen and that is awesome!
Ok, so how to enter the PIF..... Well as you may have noticed over the last 5 years, my avatar has always been Inigo Montoya from the Princess Bride. I chose him as my avatar because he was always ready to introduce himself dramatically and because he has some cool scars, "Hello, I'm Inigo Montoya. You killed my father prepare to die!" LOL... SO, I ask that in order to join my PIF, you must say you are IN by saying "Hello, I'm Your first name, and then say your dramatic introduction/purpose!" for example, "Hello, I'm Matt Luecke! I enjoy the hunt and the thrill of finding what I've been searching for! Alternatively you can Introduce yourself and tell me your favorite scene of The Princess Bride movie (if you've never seen The Princess Bride, go watch it, it's worth a good chuckle).
This PIF is CONUS unless the winner wants help pay a little extra shipping to their country(it will likely be a big box). I'm going to draw for the winner on January 9th and I will use a random number generator to pick the winner. Good luck my friends!
