Gents (and Ladies),
In just the last few weeks, we've hit several important milestones. We passed 50,000 posts, we saw our thousandth member join, and just a week ago, we officially turned one year old. In accordance with wet shaving tradition, when we do something, we like to do it right, and celebrating all B&B has become in just one year is no exception.
As a show of appreciation for all that you, the members have made B&B in just one year, the mods are throwing a birthday giveaway. With a lot of determination, and a lot of prizes donated by many very generous vendors, we've come up with a contest that should help feed the scad of many members for a price we don't often see in our community... free!

None of your personal information will be used for anything other than the contest, and all information sent to the above email address will be deleted once the contest is over. That's all there is to it! Then you can sit back, cross your fingers, and hope your name gets picked.
