PIF: Blade sampler for a Newbie

As a way of saying thank you to B&B, I feel that I should now help a newbie discover the blade that his right for him/her.

The winner of this PIF will receive:
Astra Superior Stainless x 2 (1 pack of 5 is unopened; 1 pack of 5 has 4 blades remaining).
Wilkinson Sword x 2 (same as the Astras: one pack unopened, the other has 4 blades)
Derby x 1
Gillette 7 o'clock (Green) x 1

(I know it's somewhat lame to have 2 out of the 6 packs already opened, but (a) the opened packs are only missing one blade and (b) I want one of you to use and enjoy these blades--rather than have them collect dust in my bathroom).

The rules of this PIF are:
1) Canada and CONUS only.
2) you must have less than 100 posts on B&B
3) write an acrostic poem using the letters of any type of blade. For example:

Astra
Amazing
Sharp
Tested
Russia
Acclaimed

The PIF closes on August 13, 2011 at noon (Eastern time). At that time, the best poem--as selected by me--gets the blades.

Great PIF.:thumbup1: I don't want to be included, just wanted to play along.
Blade samplers, like this one, are a good way to figure out which razor blade you prefer - one person's disliked blade is another's all time favourite, so getting to try them for yourself is nice.
 
Well, it looks like this PIF has fallen flat. :)

Anyway, if no one else is interested. I'll close the PIF tomorrow at 7:00 EST and the blades go to newshavr.
 
The PIF is now closed.
Thanks to everyone for their entries.
I will be contacting the winner shortly!
