Listen up, people! This PIF is complicated. But, prizes, prizes, prizes!!! And CONUS shipping is covered, so it is definitely worth your time.
I recently realized that I have been shooting my mouth off on B&B to the tune of 1000 posts. Plus I have a few items I might not use. (But all are usable!) And, while I like to think that I am not a control freak, the idea of making up a bunch of largely unenforceable rules is just soooo appealing.
Rule 1 - if you and I have exchanged PMs, you are banned from this PIF.
Rule 2 - if you don’t like (or at least tolerate) Arko, that’s it, banned.
Rule 3 - this is a really great PIF, so don’t go slandering it.
Rule 4 - you’ve gotta say “I’m in!”. I think that’s traditional.
Rule 5 - decisions of the judge(s) are final. If you have been so unwary as to PM me in the past, you may be called upon to judge up a tiebreaker-type opinion.
Rule 6 - I’m already bored of writing rules, so on to the prizes, coach’s tips, and more general blathering...
Door: Grande
Barely used Fatip Grande, the ruthenium-plated flavor, stick of Arko, tuck and towel to be named later...
Door: Tech
British Tech, aluminum handle, came in a lot, isn’t OC or slanted so I’ve never used it, Arko, tuck, towel (not this towel, my precious Little My)
Door: Gem PB
Gem Pushbutton, handle is user-grade, Arko, 10 (?) Gem Stainless (maybe PTFE?) blades, towel (not this one, something more boring), good intro to Gem SE
Door: Popular
Feather Popular, fine shape, came in a lot (but I tried it once), Arko, tuck of 10 Feather Hi-STAINLESS (most expensive component behind this door), towel
Door: Towel/tuck appendix
If you think you’re going to get one of my treasured Moomin towels, fuhgeddaboutit. Winners will be randomly assigned one of these fine shaving towels, sourced across the globe by tonsorial giants IKEA and Tradere Joes. Also featured are the tucks available with the Grande and Tech. Choose one.
Coach’s tips - Courage! Keep you head up! Hang tough, there are only a few more attempts at humor. Leave it all on the field!
To enter:
> Don’t forget “I’m in!”
> Quote any one of my posts.
> Nominate the quote for a category of your own invention. If you are uninventive, may I suggest ‘Lamest’, ‘Long-winded’, ‘Trying too hard’, ‘Ignorant’, or the direct ‘Wrong!’ Of course ‘Brilliant’, ‘Hilarious’, and ‘Visionary’ are available if you think sucking up to the Judge(s) will help your cause.
> Do mention which door you’re dreaming of, and, if it’s the Grande or Tech, which blade flavor you would like (Rapira PL, Astra, or Supermax Blue Diamond).
> Stand on your toes, close your eyes, and touch your nose with either pinkie finger.
That’s it! Ladies and gentlemen, Start Your Engines!
