Send them a PM; if they aren't responding, report it here.

Thanks, I'll give him some more time. He did contact me with some unfortunate circumstances, but the gentleman actually lives in the same town coincidentally.

It looks like the person in question hasn't logged in for a few weeks and last posted about a month ago. Perhaps you should give him a call if he's local?

RR XXX (85ish%)

The idea of the Never-Ending PIF is just that: an endless string of PIF's. If you see something on the list below that you would like to try, feel free to claim it. In return, you agree to add a PIF from your own den to the list. Use the following procedure:
1. Post in this thread saying you'd like to claim the offering
2. PM the donor of that item with your mailing info.
3. Once confirmed, re-post the list, removing the donor's name and item and adding your own. If you'd like to wait until you receive the item before offering your PIF, simply place a "?" after your name instead.

There is no limit to how often you can play, but a member may only have one outstanding PIF at a time. That is, you are ineligible to claim another PIF until someone claims yours. There are no PIF advance credits.

+1. I thought about it, but looked at the ingredients. It contains wheat, so I can't use it.

**Nova316** · 06-26-2012, 05:31 PM

Haha bummer
first its Mikes then la toja stick
Maybe I'll have to stalk here more often instead of taking a picture of my collection
Thank goodness IB is getting them in for a decent price

**zenless** · 06-26-2012, 05:33 PM

Nice, I've got plenty of soap else I'd be jumping up and down for the XXX!

Is it being discontinued? I'm glad I have a tub of it then.

Gillette gold ball tech in good to very good condition for $12
Gillette silver travel ball tech $15 (the handle was much shorter than the normal ball tech)
and a Gem SE razor

I had no idea which one it was but they were selling it for $12 but it was on sale for 40% off so I decided to pick it up for $7.50

I think it looks just like the one in this picture:

http://theshaveden.com/forums/thread...if-done.27984/

It has a black plastic handle and the rest is gold/brass. I can't find any other markings other than Gem on it and was wondering if someone could tell me which one it was. Also, are those other two razors decent deals or a little high? I ask because I might go back and see if I can talk them down to PIF them on.

Hey cpeter,

Yes, I think the price for those techs are high imo. Without pictures of them it is hard to say for sure, but you can probably get them for a bit cheaper from the BST if you don't mind waiting.

The Gem SE looks like a Push Button as shown here:

I've never used one but they look pretty neat. I'd say that's a fair price for one but again, you probably could have found one cheaper from the BST.

Sorry guys, looks like the post to Canada is a no go this time. I feel bad, but it's kinda outta my hands. Anyway, here is my PIF offering. A few goodies I think some will like, and have likely never tried or seen!

A bottle of Thayers Superhazel (80%ish)
A Mama Bear Stick in Brute scent (used 2x) Smells just like Brut to me!
Re-PIF maxzorans blade sampler, some Wilkies and Supermax I think
A new small bottle of English Leather cologne
A new sample of Creed Cologne (sorry I can't for the life of me read which scent)

And the final item.... a Turkish YUMA DE razor! I've used it through one blade, and it was a surprisingly good shave. Pretty aggressive for a simple bar DE. Its very lightweight, hollow handle and cast pot metal. Nicely decorated though. I think someone will enjoy it! Only tip, watch your blade alignment when tightening down

Pics to follow!
