I have benefited greatly from the fine members of this community, having learned about good techniques and products and having an enjoyable activity that I look forward to rather than a chore that I avoid. And I've received generous PIFs which helped me try out some fine products. So after accomplishing a personal goal of mine, to pass the PMP certification, project management professional for those who are not familiar, I would like to pay it forward. I was toying with the idea of doing this when I get a new job, but I have no plan or deadline for that yet so why wait. This year has been great for me and I'm feeling a lot of gratitude.
So, the PIF kit contains:
a vintage Gillette superspeed
Art of Shaving badger brush (from their carry on kit)
Proraso soft soap
Conk Lime hard soap
KMF Lavender cream
Williams soap, because you'll hear a lot of strong opinions of this soap on this board and you should really try it for yourself
healthy assortment of blades, a good range of quality and sharpness.
And anything else I might feel like tossing in too
I just received a shipment of some good stuff from Spain including a beautiful horse hair brush, soaps, creams, and blades. I also have other stuff that I can scoop out samples. So I may add some more to this before shipping it out.
Here's the pics:
Standard PIF rules apply.

I'll also add that I want this to go to someone who is starting out without much stuff and is committed to giving it the old college try. This is on the honor system of course, I won't be checking your older posts or anything. And do report back on this forum about your experiences with the equipment. Try learning one new thing at a time and then follow up on the same thread so we can see your improvements over time. If you want some inspiration, I did something similar when I won a PIF here http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/292538-Cold-water-shaving-and-blade-reviews
If you're in, post here "I'm in" and an interesting fact about yourself. Can be anything, doesn't have to be shave related. For example, this past Christmas I visited the only tropical rain forest in the United States and kayaked in a bio luminescent bay that glowed in the dark. It was in Puerto Rico.
The winner will be picked randomly through random.org and the date and time of the drawing will also be chosen at random. I don't know when I'll close this, maybe when there are enough entries.
