Gents!
So you've been tossing around the idea of wet shaving, but keep finding excuses? "I don't know what to buy, don't have the money, not sure where to start, what blades should I get?"
Maybe you're a seasoned veteran that just likes good shaving gear at the best price and can't find a vendor willing to give you them for free.
Well your excuses have no place here. To celebrate my first year on the forum, I'm giving away everything you need to begin shaving like a man for THE ENTIRE YEAR OF 2014!!! (If you can fight off the ADs)
If you're already shaving like a man, you can at least beef up your den with some quality gear!
What's in it for you?
1) H2 (1962) Gillette Slim Adjustable - Yeah the numbers have lost their paint, sure it isn't sexy as it was when it was new, but it still works great! The men who used this before were Korean War vets, Blue collar bad asses, guys who threw caution to the wind daily, eating all the gluten they wanted, drinking non-organic milk, and water from the tap! The razor may not be pretty, but it is fully functional, and will give you a good shave.
2) Semogue 1460 Boar Brush - Nothing like a good boar to mow through tough soap like a BOSS! Give it some time to break in and you'll wonder how something so tough can be so gentle. Like Clint Eastwood feeding baby rabbits milk with an eye dropper.
3) Proraso Green in the tub. Smells good, lathers easily, works great, If you can't get this to lather, you deserve canned goo!
4) TOBS Shaving Shop cream - Smells great, lathers great, shaves great.
5) Hirsh Luxury shaving cream - Sandalwood, AoS quality without AoS Prices
6) Arko Stick - Smells like Lemon PEZ, lathers GREAT.
7) 100 Astra SPs - This is a solid workhorse blade, my daily driver.
8) Original A/V Ice Blue, A/V Musk: Now that you're shaving like a man, you need to smell like a man. This stuff burns a little at first then you feel great, ready to take on a long day of ripping stumps out of the ground, rendering boar fat, or whatever manly things you do outside the shave den.
9) Some additional odds and ends may find their way in this box....
Everything in this PIF is unused except for the razor.
What are the rules?
Just say "I want to shave like (Insert your favorite badass here)" It can be Clint Eastwood or even your WWII vet grandpa, just someone who would be proud of your decision to put a DE blade to your skin. Also, pick someone who hasn't already been chosen, nobody wants to see 100 Lee Marvins. (In fact I'm pretty sure 100 Lee Marvins are illegal in 48 states).
Note: Your choice CAN'T BE JOHN WAYNE. He was the gent's choice that one the last PIF with this theme, so he's been retired to the hall of fame.
Selection will be done using random draw on 20 December. (PIF is available Worldwide if you're willing to pay shipping after the first $15. Understand, I can't send the aftershave either)
If there is anything in here you know you won't use, tell me before I send it out to you. I'll PIF it to another guy (trust me, you won't hurt my feelings doing this....especially since I don't have any after shaving like a man this long)
EDIT: There is a soap I forgot to add to the list, anyone who guesses what it is will be entered twice.
