We are Happy to announce that the 13th Annual 'Saint' Sue Moore Memorial Fundraiser begins October 19th 2023 and runs for 3 days. Remember, this will be our final year of the fundraiser (more info on that here).

If you are not familiar with the 'Saint' Sue Moore Auction, it is a fundraiser we do every year to benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

We do this in honor of our dear friend Sue Moore, Sue was a founding member and the proprietor of Saint Charles Shave.
She passed away due to breast cancer. This auction is our way to honor her memory and help fight this terrible disease.

We can not pull this off alone. We rely on our generous membership to donate items to be auctioned.
The amount we raise is dependent on YOUR donated items for the auction and lively bidding on these items.

If you find it in your hearts to donate anything for auction please use this form: CLICK HERE
You will have the option to limit your shipping destination by selecting the appropriate area, US only, North America, and Worldwide.
If you have multiple items to donate for separate auction threads please submit a new form for each item.

Remember that B&B does not handle any money or items.
Your winning bids and monetary donations are paid directly to the NBCF.
Shipment of items to the winner is done by the individual making the donation of the item.


Thank you to everyone who has donated to past auctions and thanks for helping to make this year the biggest yet!

If you have any questions or comments please post them here.

Caveat Emptor:
Gently used items are acceptable for donation.
If the item up for bid is a used product, please examine the pictures thoroughly before placing a bid.
B&B is not responsible for the condition of used soaps, aftershaves, brushes, or other items which have been in close personal contact with other people.
If you are squeamish about using a previously used product or item, please do not place a bid.

The Rules:
1. All bids must be placed in the item thread.
2. Only bids may be posted in the item up for auction thread, any post that does not contain a bid will be removed. A separate thread will be started for banter and chat during the auction.
3. Lowest initial bid is $5.00. Once a bid is placed, all subsequent bids must be in the minimum bidding increments of $5.00 Dollars. Bids that are not in $5.00 increments will be removed.
4. This auction will end on October, 21 at 2000 hours (8:00 pm) Eastern Time
5. Any bid placed at or near the end of the auction (at the teams discretion) will trigger the end of the auction to be extended one half hour to discourage sniping.
6. We consider all bids made to be in good faith and binding, so do not bid if you can not or do not intend to pay!
7. A winning Auction Bid may be paid for HERE. If we do not have payment within 96 hours (4 days) your bid will be voided and offered to the next highest bidder.

Don't forget that donations may be items unrelated to shaving - as long as the donor is willing to package and ship the item!
 
The Captain is amazed at what he is finding below decks for the auction.

Can you say a couple of pipes? A lot of very cool tucks of vintage blades? A vintage wooden shave box with folding mirror and shelves for storage - one of a kind. How about several vintage boxed razors?


I do have an idea for all of us with the fundraiser coming up. It helps to shift gears mentally on the bidding. Rather than viewing it as an eBay auction and trying to get something for a good price here is my encouragement.

It is not about the thing. It is about cancer, a killer. It is about crushing the disease that takes the lives of so many women every year. I have a family member myself diagnosed with breast cancer that was subjected to radical surgery to save her life. By God's grace she is doing great, eight years out now. And yet there is a 15% chance it will return during her life which is sobering.

So let's have fun with it, let's put some money toward a cause that can change lives, and for those that win an item they receive something they always wanted. But the topic before us is crushing cancer with the heel of our boot.
