Less than a month and a half into this wonderful world of luxurious shaving, I only have minimal shaving gear. For instance, I have one razor, and if I PIF'd it, than I would look scruffy; I have two creams, and I'm not manly enough to dry shave....But I wanted to do a PIF so bad I couldn't wait. So I raided my bathroom cabinet, and while it may not be the greatest PIF, here's what I came up with:

Here's what I'm offering:
1.) Burt's Bees Aftershave lotion. Never used.
1.) Burt's Bees Herbal Spray Deodorant. Never used, but I have spritzed it a few times.
3.) Aqua Bracer. I used it once and immediately tried to get back into the shower but the stench rendered me so dizzy and nauseous that I passed out onto the bathroom floor. You would actually be doing me a favor by taking this far, far away from me, as long as you promise that if there are ever to be any future B&B meet and greets, you will NOT wear this.
4.) Oxy Sensitive Skin Shaving Cream. Never used. Don't hate; it was before my romance with real creams began.
5.) Head Shed Shaving Cream. Wonderful stuff, incredibly exfoliating. About a year and a half ago I found myself checking my receding foreline daily. It reeked of a vanity that I was not comortable with (I felt like a woman primping in the mirror), so in an effort at readjusting my perspective on the matter I shaved it all off. I kept it clean shaven for about a week and a half. My wife hated it and now I just use clippers whenever it gets too long.
6.) Adidas after shave. I used this before Speick. I have now come to to understand that much like the glacial waters of the Peruvian Andes, Speick has magical healing properties and just plain tap water won't do now.
7.) ? A mystery item: basically whatever else will fit in the box that I think is cool.
I will be out of town until after the holidays so please don't come rob my hous...err, I mean, so I won't be sending off the packages until then. (And robbing my house would be a bad idea for several reasons; not the least of which are the fact there isn't anything worth taking and I live in the dirty South where everyone has shotguns and neighbors are quite nosy about strangers. But I digress.)
HERE'S HOW TO ENTER:
You must name a maximum of 2 persons who you feel most deserving of becoming a B&B steward for how they have exemplified the traits and manners befitting such a prestigious position. Basically, these are guys who you feel have helped you or others through deeds,action, or words; in a way which represents the camaraderie of this magical dreamworld that is B&B.
Mine are:
-Xillion
-StylinLA
Gentlemans, both. Probably scholars as well. If you address them via snail mail, the postman will be confused if you leave off "Esq." after their names...
So who's yours?
(Mind you, these nominations are completely unofficial and have less than zero bearing on any actual workings of the B&B board. It's just a way to express gratitude and perhaps provide a bit of perspective which may not be observable from just public forum posts (unless the BB mods can read our private messages?).
God bless and Merry Christmas,
Fred
