Holiday Travels PIF

Good day B&B-ers! Since 2012 has been a year of wet shaving learning and discovery for me, I have decided to give something back to say thanks to the B&B community. I know it's not the prettiest razor in the world, but this razor has not seen the love it deserves. I'm hoping someone here can give it a warm home for the holidays. In the spirit of holiday travel, I am PIFing a travel razor with a Gillette Old Type head. I'm not sure the make of the handle or the box, but it fits together nicely, and gives a good shave (if open comb is your thing).

I will include:
1 - 10 pack of "Crystal (Personna) Israeli Blue Platinum Super +" blades
1 - 10 pack of my personal favorite "Dorco ST-301 Platinum"
I have (in total) 160 blades set to ship with the PIF. By my standards (1 week per blade) that's MORE THAN 1 YEAR'S WORTH OF BLADES.
1 - GZD Barber Soap stick (Great smelling, and great lathering- similar to Arko, and also from Turkey)
Couple of other items that I'm going to leave a surprise. :)


$2012-11-21 08.36.56 (Small).jpg$2012-11-21 08.37.58 (Small).jpg$2012-11-21 08.38.29 (Small).jpg$2012-12-13 16.06.19 (Small).jpg

The "rules":

1. This PIF is open to any B&B member located anywhere in the world. There is no restriction to entry, except B&B membership.
2. Just reply with a picture of your favorite travel setup, holiday shaving setup, or just your favorite anytime setup (I won't exclude anyone for not having any gear or not having a travel/holiday setup - any B&B member means any B&B member. Sorry I didn't specify this sooner.), and be sure to include an "I'm in" message in your post.
3. Entry will close at 12:00pm EST (I'm in Detroit) on 12/17/12.
4. All entries will be assigned a number, and winner will be chosen on 12/17/12 using random.org.

After a winner is chosen, the winning party will be notified, and need only send a PM with their shipping address. I will attempt to get this package to the winner by/before Christmas, but I can't guarantee it, especially if you are not CONUS.

Thank you, and good luck to everyone! Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays!


P.S. - If you're interested in any colognes, I recently reduced my prices by over 25% from their original in BST. It was my first BST post, and I think I aimed a bit too high.

I'm in. I've never owned a travel kit, so I'm posting a picture of the one I'm hoping to score as my favorite :biggrin1:. I also haven't traveled at all since I've switched from cartridges.

I'm in. I don't have a travel kit. I just substitute an Ogallala stick for my usual puck-in-a-mug and bring along my Berkeley brush and EJ89 razor (in an eyeglasses case).

I don't have a travel kit and have never used a OC DE. Am really hoping Santa picks my number this time.

Here is what I normally travel with:

I'm in!

I traveled for a month throughout Europe this summer and this was my set up. I found that a regular-sized glasses case works perfectly to protect a DE. Furthermore, a deep sunglasses-style case works well to protect but not smush a moderately sized brush. You can also conveniently store a few packs of blades in the same case as the razor here. However, nothing beats the novelty of a razor MADE for traveling, so again, I'm in! Great PIF!
 
I'm in! I guess I never thought about traveling with my DE gear yet (snidley awesome idea with the eyeglasses case btw)...and this is a pic of all my gear as of right now!

Fridays are Fishtastic!
I'm in.

Sorry but I don't have the requisite gear to show off yet. Hope to soon.

Cheers.

The original post has been edited- check it out. You should be good now. To the. OP, thanks for piffing. I am not in, as I am doing straights now.

Please count me in as well . Not a very glamorous travel setup -- A Gillette Tech , Semogue 1205 Brush , Palmolive Shave stick and some Blades -- all fit in an Ikea plastic kitchen container.Light and handy to pack.$IMG_1820.jpg
 
I'm In!

Great PIF. I don't have a travel setup per se. I usually throw in my ReMei razor, since it is inexpensive and I don't have a proper way to carry it so if it breaks, I'm not heart broken. Then Ill grab a tube of whatever cream I fancy at the time some witch hazel and after shave and I'm set. I've been curious to try an open comb razor too, I've only used my solid bar and my super speed up til now.
 
Added a few items & teaser pic. Bump. :)

Also- thanks, to everyone who has entered. I encourage everyone to enter. I've seen some nice pieces of kit, and I hope to help remedy lack of kit for the people who don't yet have something to show. Again, good luck all. And, Happy Holidays!
