This pif is for a boar brush, soap, aftershave, & blades. Please read the story below, then I’ll get to the particulars of how to enter this pif.
I’ve been enjoying boar brushes a great deal this past year. When the Decemboar thread started (thank you @SharpieB & @MaineYooper) I joined in & realized I wanted to expose others to the joy of boar. So I purchased several brushes online from Pasteur Pharmacy with the intent of giving them away in pifs. I ordered 6 Omega 10077 boar brushes. Pasteur’s emailed me within 24 hours telling me they only had 4 of the particular brush in stock, so they asked: 1) Did I want just 4 & a refund of the balance. 2) Did I want a complete refund. 3) Did I want to create a new order using the balance I had paid. I wrote back saying I was giving the brushes away on B & B so I will take the 4 brushes I ordered & add a fifth brush of slightly greater value, then refund the balance. What I received was vastly different.
I received an email confirming my order was complete & shipped. The details of the order:
6 Omega boar brushes (not the 5 I had asked for). Pasteur’s kindly sent 6 brushes & didn’t ask for the additional $1 - $2 to cover the cost of the 2 more expensive brushes. Quite nice of them wouldn’t you say?
But wait, there’s more to their email. They also added three full tubs of shaving soap to my order & asked me to include them in the give-aways!
How’s that folks? Unsolicited, Pasteur’s donated 3 tubs of quality soap to add to my pifs.
Thank you. Leon at Pasteur’s, for your generosity!
So now, how to enter this pif.
There are two parts:
Winner agrees to not sell or trade any of the items they win. If the winner doesn’t like any of the items, they can only give them away (pif it themselves).
Due to the aftershave, this pif is open only to CONUS participants.
My wife is one of the best gifts I have received, much nicer than I deserve. So I’ll let her read the stories & choose a winner later this month.
