Can't I just dip my toe into straight-shaving just to *try* it? PIF #6

[Krodor]

great explanation, now I know what to tell people "it's not JUST a Gold Dollar!"

and on another note....you are telling us that all those straights from that link used to be plain ole Gold Dollars?!!?

Pretty crazy ain't it? Got some talent around here.

 

[JHP]

Thanks for the explanation about grinding the shoulders. You went all out, with the diagram and a thorough description. Thanks!

 

[catherix]

be sure and note which razor you'd want.

Oooopsie daisie... I was thinking the first one. Thanks for the reminder kind sir!

 

[bob9039]

I'm in for the third razor. Thanks for the chance to try a straight.

 

[billgoat94]

Please count me in. The top one. Many thanks.

 

[boogieman_]

I'm in! I would like a try at the first one. Thanks for the PIFs!

 

[thereptilia]

6th times a charm sign me up for that beautiful top razor

 

[Krodor]

Gonna close this guy sometime tomorrow, get in if you want in.

 

[Saxman11290]

I'm in! I think I'd like the first one

As always, great PIF series!

 

[LeHibou]

Thanks for the reminder on picking which we want. I'd take the top one.

Krodor - very cool PIF, well actually, series of PIFs. I'd love to try a straight, so I'm in for the third razor as it's now a "custom" . Happy Holidays to all.!

 

[Krodor]

Gonna call this closed in 2 hours...1:30 PM Eastern Time 12/24.

Give time to get everything ready with the fam here...I'll try to get the stuff in the mail Wednesday.

 

[Franziskaner]

Count me in! I'll try for the first one. Why have I developed this dark curiosity about putting a deadly sharp open blade to my own throat? B & B does it again.........

Because it makes shaving even more personal/individualized than a DE?

I think the standard answer is "chicks dig scars", but I actually cut myself more with a DE. And they were better than the cheap carts I was using.

 

[Krodor]

OK, all done. PIF closed, now randomizing.....

 

[Krodor]

All done! So here's the deal. Random.org told me to randomize the list



times. So I did


and at the top of the list is….




Yay! Deerock won! So, given your pick, you'll be getting the one in the first picture.

Which leaves the other two to WoodNUFC and DevinLT1966. I told random.org to choose for me, and I figured I'd flip a Gold (50) Dollar (HA! Oh, how I slay myself) coin for them for the middle one...Wood if heads, Devin if tails.


So that's what'll happen, DevinLT1966 gets the middle one, WoodNUFC gets the bottom/rescaled one. If the three of you please PM me your snail-mail addresses, I'll package them up and get them in the mail on Wednesday.

Now the super-extra-surprise that even I didn't realize until last night: I went through my spreadsheet tracker and found that if you include this 6th round, there were 5 more folks who had entered 5 times.

• barnstormer
• chuckenfoot
• deerock
• CB1
• mvk

So it took 5 times, but Deerock finally came out on top this time...weird. Random for sure, but I guess law of averages and all.... Anyway, 4 others tried 5 times too. Well, that's just not fair, is it? I know it's changing the rules I made, but it's my PIF, I get to do what I want. Though I don't have any more GD's in hand right now, I ordered a few a week or two ago that will arrive within a month or so. To try to eek out one last giveaway as a nod to the rest of the 5-entry folks, I took the non-winning folks from the list above, into random.org I went, and did the same thing (3 times, like before):


mvk came out on top, so you win too! Sorry for the rest of the 5-time triers, I gotta draw the line eventually. Mvk, if you're still up for it at that time, I'll prep one for you and send it off when the time comes, ok?

Thanks for the fun, folks, and may the Peace of the season be with you all.
