There is a PIF running for a Gillette Super Speed and a Tech in the DE forum. I have been shaving with a Super Speed for the last few days and it is a great razor for a beginner or a seasoned shaver. The Tech is also a top notch performer for all shavers. Swing by the DE forum and check it out: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showth...ne-just-getting-started?p=8016552#post8016552

And a word to the wise, if you are new here you should sign up for PIFs, but don't make the mistake of signing up for them after they close. Take the time to read through the PIF and make sure you understand the rules so that you don't accidentally say "I'm in!" for a PIF that closed last year

That's impressive. I'm always one year of until March...but a full two years!?
Yeah, I know...
My wife wasn't as impressed as you were! She thinks I've totally lost it. Lol
Honestly, this was a first for me.
Don't feel so bad I'm 29 and find myself forgetting all the time why I have went into and have to retrace my steps until I remeber
It sounds like you're just having a "door event" Will, they're very common.
In my apartment there's a central corridor that you must go through to reach any other room. That means going through a minimum of two doors for each journey.
Until I discovered "door events" I thought I was totally losing it.

It's amazing that someone did a study on this ... but it it exactly on point, think you for the share.
Certainly something for everyone here. This is the only forum I've joined, and I long ago stopped reading other shave forums. There are a lot of strongly opinionated and disrespectful people out there.
That's a great PIF!

If you are like most people on B&B, I am sure that you just have one soap, one brush, one cream, and one aftershave 
However, there are rumors out there that some folks develop ADs (acquisition disorders) by spending time on B&B and end up with a fairly substantial queue of soaps and creams to work through. Have you ever thought about how long your soap stash may last you? One of my favorite threads on the entire board was started by a gent that figured his soap stash would last him til 2017 (he started the journey in 2010). He set out to do something that many thought crazy, use one product at a time to completion until his stash was depleted. Once folks saw the size of his stash they decided that he would probably be shaving until 3017 and the 3017 thread was born.
Check it out here: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/128392-My-Guess-3017
What you will find is a pretty hardcore group of wet shavers that have picked up the torch and kept right on running. Many folks can't stick with the 3017 mantra, but I think they still have some great lessons for everybody here.
I like the 3017 thread as a resource for soap reviews. You can't find a more thorough and honest review than one made by somebody that used a product exclusively for a month or two (some folks even get 6 months from a puck of soap).
Also, after using a soap for a long time and getting the itch to switch, lots of people find themselves loading longer in an attempt to kill of their soap. The result is often improved shaving because more product usually means better lather.
Check it out and let me know what you think.

CigarSmoka has an awesome PIF going in the Brush Making and Restorations sub-forum: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/483152-CigarSmoka-s-staycation-gratitude-PIF
Up for grabs are 4 brushes that he made. These are some awesome looking brushes, and I think that any of them would be great for new shavers and veterans alike.
Here is the eye candy:
