Malocchio, thank you for the very kind words, and also thank you in advance for your generosity!! It's always very exited to try new shaving creams!!
Maybe start a new thread and everyone who comments gets a number in chronological order starting with #1 or everyone who's in they type the word "random" and get a number from the person doing the drawing, announce a closing time, then video the drawing after all the people are listed in comment section below? (One name per entry, no duplicate names minimum of 50 posts?)
Example:
1. Persons sn (First comment)
2. Persons sn (Second comment)...etc etc
3.

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between razors and blades, between shaving brushes and lather, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Shaving Zone.
Soap on, soap off.
Hi,
Every time I see this thread pop back up, I think of this:
Free! Free!
A Trip to Mars!
For 10,000
Empty Jars!
Burma Shave
That was way back in the 1930s. And, someone actually saved enough jars. Guy ran a drug store and got folks to save him the jars. Took over a decade, but since these roadside signs were around a lot longer, they were still up. Poor Burma Shave! What to do? They can't actually send him to Mars! So, they sent him and his wife to Maars, Germany and to the Mars candy plant, and gave him a bunch of Mars candy. Everyone was happy in the end.
As will be the winners here.
Stan - Not in, but having fun anyway.

What a cool thing to do. I still shave my head with the reliable Mach III but love the relaxing morning ritual of DE shaving. Never felt like that with cartridges, but more power to you. I'm in Japan and searching hard for a vintage razor to replace the $9 Feather I have (which works like a champ). So I'm in and thanks for your generosity.

@The Shaving Zone , you may want to hang on to one DE razor for a first pass on the occasion that you have 3+ days growth. I found all multi blade cartridges clog prone. Just an idea to extend the life of the higher priced option. Thanks for your generous donation to this community.
As one of those guys who switched from a DE to a cartridge 40 years ago (as a teen who still wasn't shaving every day), I can only partially agree with that. It's not that the cartridges gave a closer, smoother shave, it's the big increase in convenience and ease of use that made them successful, as well as the massive marketing campaign, of course. Suddenly it became almost impossible to cut yourself while shaving, no matter have fast or sloppy you were. Styptic pencil? What's that? And no more worry about the spot of blood on the collar that could permanently ruin a good business shirt, especially if allowed to set.
I'd love to have one of those vintage razors since they remind me of my father. But I can't pretend I need more than one razor.

Just saw this thread for the first time. Wonderful gesture!
Cool thing to do.

Very generous of you.
Being in India, It is impossible to get hold of any vintage DE razor, Even the modern ones are not easily sourceable. So i want to participate in this and try my luck with this.

And good luck!!
Sounds interesting, if its still available I'm in. If not that was one hell of a way to end your DE shaving.
Very generous of you! If you are willing to ship to Canada, I'm in! I've never used a Fatboy before and I would treasure one.
