Hello B&B!
One of my resolutions this year was to host one PIF per month for the entire year! And I actually decided to up my game and do 2 PIFs each month. One will be a formal PIF, like this one, and the second will be a drive-by PIF (i.e. something I give out on a whim based on reading someone’s post). So, 2018 is the year I give back.
I’ve been a member of this forum for over 8 years (Joined May 2010). In that time, I’ve been on the receiving end of many great PIFs. I’m doing this, in part, to ensure I make good on ‘Paying It Forward’ from all I have received in the past; balancing any PIF debt, I may have accumulated. Also in those 8 years, I have bought a lot of stuff, and at times, multiples of items bought on clearance, or in an effort to get free shipping. As such, my storage area is starting to look like a store front, and it’s time to do a little de-cluttering purge, A.K.A. spring cleaning.
I will try to spread my PIFs around the forum in as many different sub-forums as I can, so be on the lookout for future installments. Some will be big, some will be small, and I will try to throw in a bonus item with every PIF.
My PIFs will run for around a week or two, and hopefully the winner receives their PIF before I start the next one. Please make sure you read and follow ALL rules. This is very, very important!

So what is up for grabs this month?
Creams! Shaving Creams just aren’t my thing. I’ve settled on about 4 that I will still use from time to time (B&BW Maca Root, T&H Trafalgar, SIR Irisch Moos, Nivea), but everything else has to go! This is a selection of both lather creams and brushless creams. All are used, but none have had fingers or brushes touch them. All have been squeezed or scooped out.
Details:
Rise brushless, NEW
Tet-A-Tet, rare Russian cream, about 50% remaining
Amway Dynamite, not talked about much but a good performer, used once
Palmolive, a hobby staple. About 1/3rd remaining
Derby Menthol, used once
Wadi Cream, brushless, used once
Pacific Shaving Co, brushless, about 50% remaining (I think you can use a brush on this too).
If you win, and find any of this stuff not to your liking, please Re-PIF it!

summer plans: vacation #1 to Myrtle beach just completed. Lounging around the pool, building a shed and a second vacation at the end of summer should bring me to fall. Thanks and good luck to all!!!
