Anyone interested in a Pils tour?

[royalshave]

Hi guys,

So we were thinking about having a Pils tour since we know not every is willing to fork out ~240 to try out a razor. But before we start, we'd like to know who would be interested, so either PM us or post a reply below.

Here are the details:
- We're thinking about starting mid-October-ish
- It's going to be the all stainless steel 101NE
- Each person can try it for a week
- We'll e-mail the tester a shipping label so you can send it to the next person
- We're going to hold some type of a raffle or contest and the winner will win the razor (details provided when we see how many people are interested).
- We'll try to keep it between the States and Canada

Let me know if I forgot something

Count me in as interested! I have sold most other razors and bought a Feather AS. Love the stainless option and weight. Would love to try the PILS for a week too. It may keep me from spending that money on a straight.

[CB_DoubleEdge]

I would be all over this. :thumbup1:

I just hope I would get it before Christmas so I could likely add one to my wish list!

[Thelonius1]

Yes please!

[c0ry]

This sounds like an EXCELLENT idea and I'd love to have a chance at trying out this razor.

[Easttexasman]

Yes,I am curious to see if the Pils could possibly be better than my Feather AS.

i might be interested

also to the op checked out your site... the Merkur 15C and 34C "opened" pics are switched

[ccfixx]

Interesting, indeed. I'm new to the world, but I'd love to try a new razor since I only have two at the moment. Thanks.

count me in...Thanks!

[garyg]

Very generous, I would be interested in trying one.

[Scott0079]

Oh yeah ! :thumbup:

[poonjaji]

Very nice offer! :thumbup: I sent my PILS on a B&B tour, and have been waiting for a vendor to step up and do this. Kudos.

[mmkeaton]

Count me in.

[life2short1971]

Count me in please

[Red Ketchup]

Yes i would like to try it!

[blantyre]

This is a great offer - please count me in. I'd like to try the Pils.

I suggest that the "price" of entry is that those who get to use the razor should post their impressions of it in a thread that is set for that purpose.

[braxis]

I am interested

[meglad]

Yes, I'd love to give it a try before buying!! Thanks, this is what makes B&B so great!!:thumbup:

[gordolindsay]

I would love to try this puppy out. If it does happen, put me on the list please!! :thumbup:

[Hayden]

Would love to be in on this, thank you for the opportunity.

[proxymoron]

Count me in, please. The Pils is a lot of money spent on intangibles so it's great you're making it, um, tangible.

[Jcof3474]

I'd be in for this.

Thanks,

J.

[DFrancis]

Great idea, I tried the Feather SS on tour, this would be a nice way to compare.

[royalshave]

Wow guys, thanks for all your responses. Well, I guess I'll start taking more specific information so I can route its tour so no one will have to wait too long for it in the mail. We'll probably give it a few days just in case anyone wants to be added. Spread the word - If you know anyone that might be interested, make sure they reply back to this thread! For those that have replied, be expecting a PM from me in the next couple of days.

Blantyre, this sounds like a good idea! And plus we'll be able to know where it is and how its doing :)

Does anyone else have any ideas of something fun to do in order to be entered to win the razor in the end?

Hope all is well,
-Kristie.

[kooshman7]

That would be awesome to do! It's a bit hard to go for the Pils at first as it is expensive and you don't know if it would justify the cost and this would be a great way to know! I'd definitely be interested in this! :thumbup1:

[Rudy Vey]

...and I thought we are going to Germany to the factory...:lol:

Count me in!!

[tomshort]

Count me in Would love the opportunity to try one out

[sanuginz]

I would also like to join in on this wonderful opportunity.

[Trainer7]

Please count me in!

This is a fantastic opportunity and I think anyone who tries it would be happy to give feedback.

How about something cool, like a picture of the razor in your shave den or just on your local phonebook, a public place nearby, with a stuffed animal...

Something fun whether or not it is used for the contest:tongue_sm

Thanks, Joe.

[Zachurek]

Please count me in.:w00t:
Steve

[norton]

Sure, I'm in.

Thanks for the chance to try out this razor.

[DSW]

Try before you buy? Wisdom in shopping! I've been eyeing the top-shelf razors and wondering if they're really all that, but there's no way to really know except to try!

Sign me up!

[fluffman86]

I haven't tried a high end razor yet. I'd love to see how it compares to my Gillettes, Merkurs, and EJDE89.

Also, I appreciate the offer to email a shipping label to each person, but I daresay we would all be willing to pay that part ourselves.

[Maher]

great gesture, count me in, thank you

Quite true!! I would gladly pay the shipping to the next person in line :thumbup1:

Thanks Kristie for this fantastic offer. It is a great opportunity to try such a high quality razor I never dreamed to take in my hand. Sure I'd like to try it so you can count me in. :thumbup1:

+1 We all post our feelings after using this razor.
I like very much the idea to post a local personalized picture of the razor. :thumbup:

[mandoman]

lets give it a go :thumbup1:

[J_R_G]

I would definitely be interested in giving this a try. I'll most likely be buying one either way, although would love the chance to try before. Let us know details.

[sanuginz]

I'd also be willing to pay a nominal fee and/or deposit + shipping with tracking and insurance.

[Loric]

I have also been curious about these fine razors, please count me in too. Thank you for your generous offer!

[ph33nyx]

I too would be very interested.

[kg4ghn]

I'm in! :thumbup1:

I love this place!

[mretzloff]

I would be interested. If there are any fees or anything, that would be fine too. Thank you.

[DunEdinRanger]

...and i thought we are going to germany to the factory...:lol:

Count me in!!

[DrColossus11]

I would love to be part of this as well.

[ackvil]

I also would be interested. Try before you buy. :thumbup:

[gaj90027]

I hope I'm not too late, please count me in as well :thumbup:

[DE Shaver]

This is a great opportunity to try out a PILS razor as my curiosity wasn't enough to overcome to the $240 price tab. I would like to be included in this event as well.

[Dave Deluxe]

I'd like to give it a try too.

DD

[petr]

Include me. Thanks

[kmfrank]

I'd like to give this a go as well, so include me!

[dpm802]

Very nice offer!

Please count me in.

[dmm26]

I'm in!

[BigRich]

sign me up!

[nole1]

I would love to try this razor. This is a very generous offer. I dont see how this will be able to still go on with over 50 posts wanting to try it. Seems at this point it would be almost a year before some would get the razor.

[bbarton713]

I'd love to take it for a spin. I have really enjoyed getting to know my Feather AS and various vintage Gillette razors so it would be interesting to see how the Pils stacks up.

Plus, if I can test before Christmas and I like it I know what to ask SWMBO to get for me. :w00t::w00t::w00t:

[royalshave]

You're right, we're not sure how we're going to be able to accommodate everyone that wants to try it.

Just to keep everyone updated on the status though, we need to seek some advice on if it's okay to proceed with this before we actually start it. So please give us a few days to flatten all the kinks.

-Kristie.

[nole1]

Might I suggest using the same qualifications as the B/S/T or slightly steeper (more posts/longer time on boards)? This might help prevent the razor getting "lost in the mail" as easily. I'm in no way trying to alienate some that have posted in this thread already (I didn't go back and check so this might not even change the people that are eligible), but this might help to curb your risk slightly. I realize that there can be a bad apple anywhere but figured this might help a little. I was just looking over the thread from a few weeks ago about someone in Canada who was trying to nab a traveling box and would hate to see someone take advantage of the generosity of a vendor through this thread.

I'm not trying to get myself moved up on the list at all. You can take me off as to not make it seem that way if you wish. Just would hate to see such a generous gift be abused.

[Blondie]

If there is still room, I'd like to be included and give it a go. Oh, and you could limit it to only "Czardom of Cheddar" members. :lol:

[keebank]

Put me down for a week. I would love to try a new razor.

[royalshave]

Hi everyone,

So unfortunately, we were made aware of some legal problems we would have proceeding with the tour (Thanks to fellow B&B Vendor, John). But since we did get this whole thing started, we’re still going to be giving away a Pils razor to one lucky person (and what he does with it will be up to him :001_smile). All we ask is that the winner writes a review and takes a photo of the razor at your city landmark. And if you don’t have one, a photo of the razor amongst your shave den will do.

So everyone that has already responded and anyone that wants to enter themselves, please respond to this thread. I’ll randomly pick a person or post number on October 15, so get your post in on time!

Sorry it didn’t work out!
-Kristie.

[fluffman86]

Well, personally, I'll send it on a PIF tour, so there's a great reason to send it my way. ;)

Either way, thank you so much for your generosity :thumbup:

Are you still using your Pils or has that been replaced by the Joris?

[strohman]

Wow--I would love to try a Pils! Maybe I will decide that it's worth the money to actually buy one! Nothing like test driving a luxury car before you buy it.

[kooshman7]

Not sure if I'd have to reenter, but if I do please count me in as well! Thank you! :thumbup1:
