What's new

PIF - 5th ever "Shave like a man for an entire year" ~ Veteran's Day edition

I'm in! I want to shave like Lloyd Bridges. I mean, after all, the man played Mike Nelson, Commander Cain, and Steve McCroskey. (Not to mention that he was Gene Roddenbury's first choice to play Captain Kirk.)

That's interesting. I only remember him from his comedy roles. He was great as Admiral/President Benson in Hot Shots.

A little poofier than I prefer
Darn, looks like I missed the hardware guesses. Oh well. Here goes anyway. Not in, but if I happen to land a shot, give my stake to one of the new guys.

I definitely want to shave like Cary Grant. And I want that suit too!

Seriously, even James Bond doesn't look that good getting chased by an airplane!

Hello, I would like to withdraw from this pif since I already have a 37C and I am not really keen on synthetic brushes.

The 37C is a great piece of kit. I hope it ends up with someone who will like it and I don't see why not!

Just be careful of that free merkur blade in the box. That thing is nasty. ;);)

I'm in!

I'd like to shave like Atticus Finch. One of my favorite literary characters who was a pillar of fairness and justice.

Thanks for your hospitality.

Now for the Third reveal!!!!

I've been 3017ing my gear for over a year now. So I'll be living vicariously through whoever gets this wonderful soap. The first soap will be D.R. Harris. Not sure the scent yet; they're all good. Marlborough gets high praise from me. If the winner has a preference, they'll need to let me know.

The brush for this PIF will be the RazoRock 400. Getting a Rubberset Aluminum 400 is one of my white whales. The fact that RazoRock decided to make a modern replica is awesome. I've never used it myself, so I will be asking for feedback from the winner! Congrats to ShavingPanda and James Blades for guessing correctly. You two will get an additional entry into the draw.

The razor for this PIF is going the be the Merkur 37C, (More affectionately known as the "Slant"). I have many razors, but in the last year I find myself reaching for my slant most of the time. It provides a great shave and added control in those tough to reach places (under the nostril). Hope the winner enjoys theirs as much as I do mine.

Plenty of time to get in on this if you'd like!

Not in. But the actor who played another character mentioned in this thread had two memorable lines with McCroskey in Airplane! Any guesses?

Now for the Fourth reveal!!!!

We're headed to Germany for this next soap. Tabac is one of my favorite performers, and one of the easiest to get an incredible lather generated from. The smell reminds me of my Grandmother's purse. A mixture of mints and make-up. If this doesn't appeal to you, unwrap it and let the smell go away after some time. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Congratulations to Avenafatua for correctly guessing this soap!
