To celebrate my 500th post on B&B, I'd like to offer this DE/brush/soap/cream and blade PIF to show my gratitude to the forum for the information, generosity and camaraderie I've found here.
The rules of this PIF are:
1) to be eligible you must be somewhat new to wet shaving and/or to B&B - being a member less than say 2-3 months (+/-)
2) to be eligible you must reply to this thread with "GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY" so I know you've read the rules and are "IN"
3) to be eligible you must write an original Haiku about wet shaving in general, or any aspect specifically, or about B&B or, hehe, about Frank Zappa or his music. **If you want to submit more than one Haiku, it is certainly encouraged - please edit your original post and add it there for organizational purposes - no one will be ruled out of contention by not doing so however.**
....and remember a Haiku is a 3 line poem: 5 syllables, 7 syllables and 5 syllables respectively.
Apologies to our international B&Bers, but due to shipping costs, potential duties etc this PIF is CONUS only
a winner will be decided sometime on Wednesday, September 19 to celebrate FRANK ZAPPA DAY and I reserve the right to solicit help picking a winner from fellow B&B friends.
the offerings:
1 Gillette Fat Handle Tech DE razor (post WWII -1946-1951?) Sterilized & unused by me
1 large Omega Boar Brush (used twice)
1 La Toya shave soap stick (new)
1 Arko shave soap stick (new)
2 GFT shave cream samples (Limes & Coconut Oil -new)
1 pack each (5 blades in each pack) of: Feather Hi-Stainless blades, Pol Silver Super Iridiums, 7AM Platinum (green pack), Shark SS, Shark Chrome & Astra SS
thanks to B&B for everything you do (even enabling me to spend WAAAAY too much on shaving gear than I thought even possible)
Good luck!!! Have fun! .....and....GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY!

this IS fun!!!
I just think it's more fun and a greater challenge to get an idea across using that 3-line, 5-7-5 pattern or meter and I didn't want anyone disqualified if their entry didn't fit the pattern.
