As the title says, this is my very first PIF here. With everything this community has done for me I have wanted for some time to give something back and Now I Can
So Here is the Specifics:
1: There will be Two Winners
2: You must Not already own a Straight Razor,( You Can Have a Shavette Those do not count as a Straight Razor for this PIF. ) but want to try one and have a U.S. Address to send it to.
3: If you meet the criteria for #2 Just post "I'm In" and state "Red" or "Black" to indicate which razor you would like.
4: I hate having to do this but at the moment I must confine this to U.S. Addresses Only.
5: This PIF will run for Two Weeks from Today, (September 11th is Drawing Day) when I will randomly choose the two winners and PM them for their Addresses and announce them here.
And Now to what you will receive:
One of these Two Packages:
Package One: Red Mottled Scales Hashir Razor Honed and stropped and ready to be shaved with and a brand new 2.5 oz. puck of VDH Deluxe Shave Soap.
Package Number Two: Black Scales Hashir Razor Honed and stropped and ready to be shaved with and a brand new 2.5 oz. puck of VDH Deluxe Shave Soap.
Best of luck to everyone and let's get this started my Friends
I have my "Little Green Navy Wheel Book" to log all entries in in order to keep track of every single entry and which color they prefer so it will be a very fast turn around time between the end and when I announce the winners
Want to Add my Honing/Stropping Progression on these:
1st: 1K King Water Stone 60 Laps Each
2nd: 6K King Water Stone 60 Laps Each
3rd: 12K Guangxi Slate Stone with Water 100 Laps Each
4th: Cream Colored Hard Arkansas Oil Stone with Smith's Honing Oil 200 Laps Each
5th: Black Hard Arkansas Oil Stone with Smith's Honing Oil 400 Laps Each
6th: Black Duck Cloth canvas Strop I made myself sprayed with 50K Diamond Spray 100 Laps Each
7th: Black Duck Cloth canvas Strop I made myself sprayed with 200K Diamond Spray 100 Laps Each
8th: My Hashir Canvas/Leather Strop 50 Laps on Canvas and 100 Laps on Leather each.
That is the progression I used to get these razors quite ready to mow through some whiskers.
These are Insanely sharp so Winners: Be VERY VERY careful to mind your technique when using them and please do a good amount of research,( both reading and videos ), to make sure you go in with a good amount of knowledge as Straight Razors can and will BITE HARD if misused.
Yes there is a Reason the drawing will be on September 11th. I lost a great Friend, Mentor and Shipmate that Day in the Pentagon. I feel that although a Tragic amount of Life was taken from all of us that day, it somehow eases the pain,(at least for me), when I give something back on the Anniversary Of That Fateful Day.
