Hello Gentleman.
This is my first PIF, so bare with me. I sold off some DE stuff recently due to the fact that I have stepped over the line and into the dark side of straight razors. I'm here to stay, however I did keep some of my better shavers that I prefer just in case I ever want to go back and have a nice DE shave.
One item did not sell, the Merkur 180. Because of this, I've decided to PIF it out to a newbie who wants to get into wet shaving but needs a razor. I can't begin to tell you guys how much generosity I have received on these boards. So many members were more than willing to send me things I needed so I can experiment, learn, and broaden my horizons, at NO cost to me. So, this is what I'm going to do. At the end of this month, August 31st, I will pick a random post number in the thread and contact that member. If I can't get in touch with them within 24-48 hours, I will pick someone else. I've never used random.org before, but I see everyone else using it for this so that's what I plan on using. I will ship them this Merkur 180 and at least 3 or 4 packs of different brand blades, maybe more depending on what I can find. I will send them anything else I can find that I no longer use. Oh, I also have a boar brush that someone PIF'd to me that never saw use, so you will get that as well. I don't remember what kind it is, but it's a decent brush. This will be at no cost to the winner. I'd like to keep this CONUS only. Shipping costs out of the country can be a little pricey.
In order to enter, you must NOT own a DE razor yet. I want this to go out to someone that is on a budget and was hesitant to enter this world because of funds, or to someone else who just doesn't have a razor yet but wants to join in on this world of wet shaving. The razor you will get is pictured below. The stand isn't included, that was sold. This is just for the razor, a few packs of blades, a boar brush and anything else I can find that I'm willing to part with.
To enter, just start of by saying "I'm in." Then, write a little something about yourself and how you found out about this. You could tell us how you found B&B, how you heard about wetshaving, why you want to do it, etc. I know this isn't too creative on my part, but I'm not a very creative person. Sorry guys!
If you think I screwed something up in this PIF, don't agree with something I'm doing, or have any comments that you feel would improve the PIF, feel free to PM me and kindly tell me your thoughts on it.

Anyway, long story short...my room mate is female and has a boyfriend that I get along with very well and I have bored him to tears these past couple of weeks with tales of shaving, anticipation of my razor, getting the razor and eventually shaving. I showed him my EJ razor the other day and he commented on that it was beautiful and that he didn't even know that 'old things like that still worked...'. Anyway, I showed him the blade in it and how safe it actually is and he got more intrigued. He's been really nice to my roomie so I'd love to be able to give this to him as a gift - and also convince him to sign up on the board and show it off LOL
