Only a couple more days ...
Great Pif!
I'm in, been unemployed since October 4th. Spending on shaving related items has definitely not been a priority since then especially since the birth of my first child(Sofia) 2 weeks ago!
Fair play to you for such a generous thought.

OK, I've been away so I'll take the post above and we now have fourteen potential candidates:
Remember, if you have gained work since entering we are trusting that you will recuse yourself and decline the prize.
We have nine sets which we will draw in order.
So without further adieu the lucky recipients are:
I will PM the recipents and then advise the contributors of the recipient of their gift.
Can I just say how encouraged I am by those who have hopped on board to help. This really reflects the B&B spirit and is such a generous act that truly reflects the spirit of Christmas. I know that many of those contributing are actually buying gear especially to give it away - awesome guys!
May the Lord give you all a safe and blessed Christmas.

And thanks again to Mark and the other contributors for doing this again this year. This kind of thread really epitomises what B&B (and Christmas) is about.

Congrats to the eventual winner(s). I remember similar posts in years past and the continued generosity of the membership here is just one aspect that makes this a great forum! Great PIF! May all those who are affected by layoffs quickly be recalled or find new jobs. God Bless!
