What's new

First time SE user PIF (Not just CONUS)

I'm getting a new SE razor and decided to get rid of the one I have. It's a bakelite GEM Jr. and it nice, I just hate the handle. Nothing wrong with it. I'll include some blades and some soap samples. It's yours for whatever you want to do with it when it is sent. International IS allowed this time and in fact since my last PIF was a CONUS winner I will double the chances for anyone who is international. How to enter? Write a haiku about how razors are unbelievably sexy :lol: I'll give this one a few days. I will then pick a top five and use a randomizer. Is this biased towards non-Americans? Yes. :lol: I feel they get a chance to win more so this is a chance for them to win! Hopefully I get a lot of entries, and will try to get about 20-25. I just ask you're new to this SE thing. Good luck friends!
 
Horror -- Single edge,
thou art. No alum can help,
nor witch hazels. Pain.

[I'm not in. Don't let my haiku scare others who might want to try a single edge, though. Just 'cause SEs don't seem to play nice with me.... Good Luck!]
 
Not in, but great PIF! This is a great chance for someone to get they're first try at a SE. They're different than DE, but can give great shaves!

Fridays are Fishtastic!
Good show- the SE, especially the 1912, is the best safety razor ever made. Do not include me, of course, as my daily shaver is an EveryReady 1912 which I bought from bigfoot (one of our mods)
 
A nice PIF Zack for someone looking to get into SE.

I'm only just mastering DE, so I'm not in. I'd need a 500 pack of Band-AID's.
 
Face like sandpaper
Steel cuts without sound most serene
Leaves face like vellum


Awesome PIF, not only do I get the opportunity to try SE, but I learnt what a haiku was. Thank you.
 
Some steel on my face
Leaves my skin as smooth as silk,
Of my beard no trace !

I discovered what a haiku was as well. Not so easy cause english isn't my mother language...
I've never tried a SE, it could be the opportunity. Great PIF anyway !

Guys, I'm liking them :thumbup: I used it tonight, it's a great razor, almost sad to part with it...it's just too light for my liking.
 
I've decided I like this razor so much I cannot give it away until my new one comes in (which will be within the next few days). So, keep it up guys :lol:
 
Not in, but I will say that ever since I was PIF'd an SE, DEs are all pale in comparison. I have gotten smooth, easy shaves with my SE. Great PIF and good luck to all those involved!
 
I was bored, I'm not in.. thought I'd add some....

Wakeup tired shave
Serene feeling takes over
Ready for work now


Double Edge Razor
Thou cuts straight and true
Cant wait till next time
 
My new SE razor came in the mail. All I can say, is this GEM 1912 is a beast and heavy and awesome. This one (the bakelite PIF) is MUCH lighter. I would assume this one is probably much "friendlier" because of that. I hope the person who gets this razor will enjoy it :) I will be picking soon, so this is a final warning to enter!
 
Scythe, knife, and scalpel
All with but a single edge
Simplify your shave

I've always wanted to try a GEM, but been too afraid to jump in ... here's hoping!
 
Chrome and combs feel great
Against bare skin, gliding and
Always smell so good.

Great PIF. Thanks. Love Haikus.
