    Cool Blade Sampler PIF

    I finished out my sampler pack and have decided to pass it on to someone else. No restrictions on start date or whatever, so long as you are still searching for your soul blade and want to try a sampler. The ONLY thing that I ask is that whoever wins has to give cold water shaving a legitimate try. I am a huge believer in cold water/ice water shaving and I think everyone should at least try it and then write about it on here. It doesn't have to be extreme with the ice like I do (which is partially due to the fact that I am in south Texas and our cold tap water is lucky to hit 50 degrees, and partially due to the fact that it is usually 90+ degrees here and the ice feels great). Try it for a week or two and see what you think. If you don't like it no big deal, at least you can say you tried it and didn't like it.

    The sample pack includes about 3 blades of each of the following:
    Gillette 7 O'Clock blues and greens
    Feather SS
    Astra SP
    Derby Extra
    Shark SC and SS
    Blue Bird SS

    The last submission will be accepted by 5pm CDT Wednesday May 9th and I will announce the winner sometime that night using a random number generator. Please reply with "I'm in" or something like that to enter. For the guys across the pond, sorry this is CONTUS only.

    Nice PIF, great start! I have all of these, but they will make someone very happy. I am still working up the courage for the cold water shave. Everything is going so well so far...

    Since I'm not yet familiar with warm shaves, I might as well try cold shaves! I'm in! :)

    I'm in, if all you Texans will allow an Okie. I'm skeptical of cold water shaving but I'm certainly intrigued.

    Do you know why Texas hasn't fallen into the Gulf yet?

    Because Oklahoma sucks.

    I guess we won't hold it against you.
