Pre-Shave creams PIF

Have 2 pre-shave creams here that I bought when I was first starting out with straights. Used each one maybe 5 times and just didn't really get into them I guess.

The goods:
1) Proraso Green 100ml pre-shave cream. Eucalyptus and Menthol.
2) Vitos 250ml pre-shave cream.


The rules:
1) Must be a member of B&B since at least 8/1/12 and currently a straight user. (Level of experience doesn't matter, the newer the better even. I never got into the whole DE thing before going to straights, so I just want this to go to someone who is/will be using them as well. You could be planning to use this on your very first straight shave and that'd be perfectly acceptable)
2) Open worldwide, I'll cover shipping to the CONUS, we split shipping costs outside of CONUS (just in case it's expensive, if I find out it's cheap enough I reserve the right to change the rules and not let you pay anything)
3) If you don't like it you agree to PIF it again. If you sell it, the iron oxide karma fairies will find you :001_tt2:
4) You must never have used either of these 2 specific products (having used other pre-shaves is acceptable, but neither of these two, you'll see why at the end). This is intended to allow someone the chance to try something new, not just get something you know you like for free


To enter:
Just leave a reply here if you want to be in on this. Entries must be received by 11:59 pm on Tuesday Oct 9th, eastern standard time.
After the deadline a random number generator will be used to pick 2 winners


Now for the fun part, who gets which one?
Gentleman, make a fist....there's only one way things like this can be decided.......rock, paper, scissors! :scared:
When the two winners are chosen, each will PM me 5 moves (ex: rock, rock, scissors, paper, rock) and best of 5 gets the first choice of product :lol:


Good luck :thumbup:

I'm in. Actually just got my first straight razor today, a dovo encina (thanks to the superior shave). Never used a pre shave cream, just tried the pre shave gel samples I got from AOS.
 
Edit: I misread the rules. Just starting my straight razor journey

I got moves like Jagger
Count me in please..... and "Thank You" for offering up a nice PIF.

I've used Floid's pre-shave before, but neither Proraso (which is kind of strange as it's one of the few products I can find at local stores) nor Vitos pre-shave and this could be a great help on my straight journey.

If I'm one of the winner's I'll get second pick as I know everyone will choose "paper" against rockviper :biggrin1:
 
The rules:
1) Must be a member since at least 8/1/12 and currently a straight razor user

Quoted for posterity, but I'm going to re-word the above rule. I did not mean to imply that you must be an experienced straight user. Just a member of B&B for a couple months and planning to use this product for straight shaving. If you're just starting out with straights that's perfectly acceptable. I'd actually rather see a newer user win this, but didn't want to officially limit it to that.

Sorry, it was going on 4am when I finished writing up those rules

seriously! I expected a lot more people....these little tubs usually go for about $15 each, plush shipping. Come and get it free!!
 
30 minutes, 2 prizes and only 9 entries! I'd say those are the best odds you'll ever see in a free raffle :lol:
 
Time's up gentlemen! On my way to http://www.random.org/sequences/ to come up with first an second place (the sequence generator will ensure whoever gets picked for the first slot will be removed from the drawing for the second slot)

Back with the results in a minute!
