Well, that was quick. 2,000 posts snuck up on me. Time for a PIF.
So, as you should know, I don't like to make it easy. Even a caveman* can type "I'm in" and get entered into a PIF. So, I've decided to make this a two-fold PIF.
1. For the first part, you will have to do math. Yep, math. You have to figure out the number of entries you get into the PIF. Here's how it will work.
You get 1 entry for every year you have been on B&B. (2014 = 1, 2013 = 2, 2012 = 3, etc).
You also get +1 entry if you are a Veteran and +2 entries if you are on Active Duty.
You also get additional entries if you are a Contributor. Copper = +1, Bronze = +2, Silver = +3, and Gold = +4
If you are a Steward, you get +1.
If you are a mod, you get -10. Just kidding, you also get +1.
If you have a Vegetarian badge, you get +3. I know what you had to go through to get it.
If you are an active member of the 2014 Sabbatical thread and still in, you get +2. You have to be on the official list already and signed up before Jan 1st.
Sounds like a lot, but it is easy. When you enter the PIF, just spell it out like this (using myself as an example):
3 for signing up in 2012
1 for being a veteran
3 for being a silver contributor
2 for being in the 2014 Sabbatical thread
9 Total Entries
2. The second part will be a picture. Post a picture of your favorite _______. You fill in the blank. It could be your favorite razor. It could be your favorite location. It could be your favorite pet, person, or movie. Whatever it is, post a picture of it. A nice little description of what it is and why it is your favorite may count as bonus points.
3. Now for the part everyone wants to see. The PIF.
The winner will get:
1 2013 Gillette Rubie Razor made in Russia - it shaves a lot like a tech
1 1957 C2 Gillette Red Tip Razor - it is user grade, but works well. It's just to aggressive for me.
1 Box of 5 Voskhod blades
1 Box of 5 Astra SP blades
1 Box of 5 Red Personna blades
1 Van Der Hagen badger brush - used about 20 times
1 sample of Aqua Velva Ice Blue A/S
1 sample of Maggard's Eucalyptus preshave oil
1 tube of Speick cream - used a few times is all
1 tube of Burt's Bees aftershave balm - used once
There may (ok, will) be more things thrown in as this goes along, but I won't be posting what they are. The winner will have to post the details.
So, that's it. Have at it. Do your math, post your total number of entries AND a picture and you are in.
I'll pick a winner in a week or so. One last caveat is that the winner will have to post a pic of the goodies and give at least 1 review of one of the things they are trying.
The PIF is is open to everyone, everywhere (minus the AV sample if overseas).
*No offense intended to any real cavemen who are on B&B.
