    Default PIF-in it Old School

    Well the PIFed items are more of old school meets new school. I have been a member for over a year and have not done a serious PIF, it is long over due. I have learned so much from the members here and I am always overwhelmed by their generosity. So I am offering up this PIF.

    The PIF will include: (See Picture Below)
    40s superspeed somewhere between '48-'50 as the center bar has the notch. It is not a beauty, but it is clean, serviceable and opens and closes smoothly. I purchased it from a member here, but have since gotten other razors.

    Mama Bears "Dragon Blood" soap
    Godrej Lime Shaving Cream
    KMF Cool Mint Shaving Cream
    AV Ice Sport After Shave
    Ivy Club Spice After Shave (Many think it smells like the original Shulton Old Spice)
    Sampling of Fifteen Blades

    Eligibility and How to Enter:

    I would prefer the PIF go to someone who does not own a superspeed and has not tried most of these items. Please use your discretion.

    I am a huge Disney fan, so if you would like to enter please reply to the thread with your favorite Disney Character. I will leave it open for about a week then randomly pick a winner. It is ok if you duplicate someone elses favorite.

    If you choose Lightning McQueen to suck up to me, it will not work

    And if you do not have a favorite character and would like to enter, then hit up Disney.com and pick one quick

    I'm in. Favorite Disney character: Mickey Mouse. He's a classic and my parents got me hooked on him when I was young. I had a three foot tall stuffed Mickey Mouse (in original costume) when I was a toddler. It was bigger than me. I still have a vintage '70s Mickey Mouse piggy bank (he's wearing mustard colored bell bottoms and a light blue Nehru jacket...priceless).

    Awesome PIF Joshua, you really put together quite a collection - heard so many great things about the Dragon's Blood
    Favorite Disney Character? Definitely SIMBA.
    Never tried an ss, or any of the liquid products in your post

    Good Luck to EVERYONE!

    Very nice, Joshua! One of the most amusing characters from Disney, and one of my favorites, is Maleficent. Her brief speech to Prince Phillip as he's sitting in her dungeon is truly unscrupulous!

    Wow very generous PIF. I'm totally in. I'm just getting started so I dont have many supplies but I admit I do have 5 astra blades that came in my sampler pack. Other than that I haven't used any of the above products. Interested in trying a vintage DE especially (only ever used my HD) but Mama Bears soaps and the KMF line are also huge pluses for me. They seem to get great reviews.

    As for the Disney characters I'm gonna try to stay some of their classic characters and avoid all the new and more modern but still cool movies they do.
    I'm 22 so probably younger than most of the members here so I enjoyed the animated movies of my youth the most. My favorite was 101 dalmations (animated). I had a stuffed Pongo dog that I toted around for much of my childhood. I think its still in the attic somewhere....

    I'm not familiar with the alcohol content of those products, and since it isn't labeled CONUS only I'll try my luck: I'm in!

    As for Disney characters, I will go with Humphrey the Bear. Not one of their major characters, but I find "Hooked Bear" to be one of the funniest short cartoons they have made.

    I've tried three of the blades included, but nothing else. I have been curious about AV Ice Sport and KMF, but they seem to be sold only in the US. Feel free to disqualify me if shipping is too difficult.

    Please count me in. This is a very generouse PIF.

    Not in on the very generous PIF but playing along as a huge Disney fan. It's tough to choose just one character so, I'll give my top 2. In no particular order:

    Prof Ludwig von Drake
