Win a FREE bottle of Captain's Choice if...

[Captain Pre-Capsize]

...you can guess my newest wholesale account!

Since this past January we have been setting up wholesale accounts. On occasion I pick one out and run a contest and guess what? It is time to do it again!


http://i.imgur.com/MXvo6l.jpg


Here is how it will work: Each person gets ONE guess - just post it here in the thread. This might be a brick and mortar store, an on-line store or a customer who is both. The contest is CONUS only please. The contest begins now and will end on July 20 at which time a winner will be announced and the new wholesale account will be revealed.

The winner will PM me their address and have in hand a free bottle of the finest bay rum aftershave available! In the event that the winning customer is named more than once the winner will be drawn randomly.

Here is your clue: if you are active here on the forum you have heard of this customer. Not much help and some of you may think I'm almost hitting below the belt but hey, it is just a clue right?

Good luck, may the most deserving guy win!

Pasteur's Pharmacy? I visited the 34th St. Store a couple of weeks ago and was talking about bay rum scents with Leon. He strongly recommended Captains Choice over all the others in his shop.

[JRobinhood]

[neilz4]

Shavenation?

[prbutterfield]

Pasteur's Pharmacy? I was in the 34th Street location about 2 weeks ago and talking fragrances with Leon. When we got to bay rum he pulled out a bottle of Captain's Choice and strongly recommended it over all the other bay rum products he sells.

[donoma]

[Captain Pre-Capsize]

A quick note to inform all who have entered the contest that just a few hours ago something came up...

It will impact in a favorable manner the drawing this coming Friday and I am willing to bet that all will be pleased. Only two and a half days left until the Great Reveal is made public. Stay tuned!

Does anybody care to guess what might be afoot?

[Snargle]

Captain's Choice Shaving Soap, maybe? :001_smile

[coachschaller]

The vendor has agreed to match your generous PIF?

[sgtd]

Shavenation.

[drocu]

Everybody gets a bottle?

[RailroadMan]

More than one vendor will be added to the list, making more than one winner.

[kudadi]

Im not in, but I won a sample on one of the previous contests. Its good stuff

[cb91710]

I still say Walgreens!

[NexlevMM]

The suspense is killing me!!!:scared:

[goatee]

that "below the belt" comment has me thinking it is "ABOVE THE TIE"....

[Judge Dredd]

I already voted for Bullgoose, but I'm guessing (hoping) whatever is "afoot" is that there is also a new vendor who can ship O/S or is based outside CONUS.

[Sqratch]

Gotta go with Italian barber.

[Kooze]

Vintage blades



Or of course


Ouch International?

[mayhem]

Does anybody care to guess what might be afoot?

Two new vendors?

[wlmcad7]

Above the Tie

[BigBull]

I'm guessing RoyalShave...I didn't see it on the list yet, and they don't currently carry it.

Either way, I'm glad your having success with it! I can't wait to try it....have a PIF coming to me now.

[Andrewg]

Bullgoose would be my guess

[Hirsute]

Shavenation

[angelino]

Pasteurs Pharmacy

[Captain Pre-Capsize]

More than one vendor will be added to the list, making more than one winner.

The answer is yes, and more specifically "mayhem" put a number to it that was right on the money:

"Two new vendors?"


So yes, your chances at being a winner just doubled. There will be two winners announced this Friday probably in the morning and these will be winging their way to a new home:

Nice job Captain!

Good luck, may the most deserving guy win!

The winner will be announced tomorrow morning but I have decided to close the contest at this time. I want to thank everyone who has entered and tell you how much I enjoyed this myself, it is fun to pick out a recent account on occasion and have a contest around it.

Recall there are two new wholesale accounts to be named. Originally there was only one but a second came on board after this contest had already begun and on a whim I decided to add them. Nice problem to have!! In the case of both of them, more than one guy has guessed them so that means there now needs to be a runoff drawing to determine who the two winning bottles will go to. The guys who guessed correctly will have their names (literally) thrown into hat and one will be pulled out. This will be done for each of the two new accounts.

A bit of housekeeping:

Judge Dredd is located overseas and so is not able to be entered since this is CONUS only. Sorry, but that was stated up front and believe me I WISH I could ship overseas - we routinely get inquiries from Europe as well as Australia / New Zealand!

Secondly, if you guessed the correct account but do not win the drawing I have good news. You get a free sample vial of Captain's Choice - there are no losers here!

If you are a winner here is what I need from you: Simply PM me your address and I will ship to you.



Here are the two new accounts that are now carrying Captain's Choice:

ABOVE THE TIE

BULL GOOSE

http://www.bullgooseshaving.net/


:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::c lap::clap:




As to my clues, yes my comment, "Below the belt" was a hint at being "Above the Tie." A more subtle hint was that the two bottles would be, "Winging their way..." which was a hint toward the "Goose" in "Bull Goose."


The names to be entered for the Above The Tie drawing are:

TnustShave
mayhem
DevinLT1966
NexlevMM
goatee
wlmcad7

The names to be entered for the Bull Goose drawing are:

drocu
Everyman
Chicago Trim
sparco
cpeter47
Lamar
Andrewg

Tune in tomorrow morning to see if you won the big bottle!

And remember, if you have been named here and don't win the bottle you do get a free sample vial!

[BigBull]

This same thing happened to me when I took the SAT in High School. In the English portion, there would be a paragraph you were to read and derive information from. I didn't do that well...however, I absolutely waxed the Math portion. I digress...

Congratulations to you Captain! Building a business, opening new accounts, all very exciting stuff for you I'm sure...and we get to benefit from your success!?! Win, Win for us all. Good Luck to those who are in the prelims! Awesome contest.

[Judge Dredd]

Hey no worries, Captain. I interpreted the CONUS-only reference to be the location of the new wholesale account, not the location of us B'n'Bers.:a6:

[RailroadMan]

Don't those of us who guessed the good news get a sample? Just kidding. May be orderi ng some soon. Congrats to the winners, and to you, Cap, for your new vendors.

[Captain Pre-Capsize]

The time has arrived to draw out the two winners!

May I have a drum roll please .....

First into the hat go the names who correctly chose Above the Tie - after much mixing of the names and fishing around, one is pulled out. The paper is unfolded to reveal the winner...

NEXLEVMM


Now into the hat go the names who correctly chose Bull Goose - mixing; fishing; going to the bottom. The paper is pulled out and unfolded to reveal the winner...

ANDREWG

[neilz4]

Congrats to the winners! Now that you're going to BullGoose I'm going to have to buy a bottle. I hear too much good stuff about Captain's and BG can ship to me in a day. Stoked!

[DevinLT1966]

Thanks for the sample Captain. After trying it for the last few days, I'm hooked. Even the wife likes it. Now I need to save my allowance and buy a bottle.

[wlmcad7]

I received my sample, tried it, and really like it. Now I need to convince SWMBO that I need to buy a bottle.

[TnutsShave]

Congrats fellas! Soooooo...do I get a sample since I was one of the correct "guessers"?:thumbup:

I was fortunate to get to sample the first offering of the Captain's Choice, but have yet to try the finished product.

Thanks for the promo Captain and here's to continued success!

[BallisticBurrito]

Hmm..BullGoose..I would have probably used a photoshopped picture of Teddy Roosevelt holding a bottle of Captain's Choice. Bull Moose = Bull Goose.
