B&B has been a tremendous wealth of knowledge and inspiration for me over the years as it has for thousands of others. Within the first couple months of joining, I won a huge, expensive PIF from the most generous _MementoMori_. That gave me a great head start and made it possible for me to give traditional wetshaving a fair try and allowed me to try a HUGE variety of different products through the BST that I wouldn't have gotten to try otherwise. B&B is the greatest forum on the internets and the gentlemanly, gracioius, and gentlemanly folks here make it that way.
I finally got together enough stuff to make a respectable PIF. I know a PIF is a great way to celebrate 1000 posts, but I missed it by a few posts. So this is going to be a 1000th and some-odd posts celebration.
Here are the goods:
Antiga Barbearia de Bairro - Boar shaving brush, made by Semogue
New Palmolive Shave Stick
Stirling AS Sample - Vetiver
New Old Spice AS
New Dorco All-Plastic DE Razor (fun to play with?)
User-Grade Tech
New Stirling Sharp Dressed Man Sample
C.O. Bigelow Shaving Cream - Better than half the big tube.
VDH Shaving Soap
Small Sampling of blades - 5 Derbys, 5 Dorcos, 2 Personna Meds, 5 Astra SPs, 5 Bluebirds
As I am also celebrating the soon birth of my son, we will make this somewhat of a contest. He will arrive in about a month and, of course, we have a name picked out. It is a Biblical name, Old Testament, and it is one-syllable. If nobody guesses in the first couple days, I will drop another hint. This is just for fun as I will pick a winner using Random.org.
This PIF is open to all CONUS members and I will keep it open until Friday, March 7th at noon (EST). To enter, please post, "B&B is Awesome!" along with your guess for what we are naming our little boy.
***The name has been guessed! (Sure didn't take long.) His name will be Seth Nathaniel which means "appointed" and "gift of God."
B&B is AWESOME!!
