Badger & Blade Official One Year Anniversary/Thousandth Member Contest Extravaganza

Gents (and Ladies),

In just the last few weeks, we've hit several important milestones. We passed 50,000 posts, we saw our thousandth member join, and just a week ago, we officially turned one year old. In accordance with wet shaving tradition, when we do something, we like to do it right, and celebrating all B&B has become in just one year is no exception.

As a show of appreciation for all that you, the members have made B&B in just one year, the mods are throwing a birthday giveaway. With a lot of determination, and a lot of prizes donated by many very generous vendors, we've come up with a contest that should help feed the scad of many members for a price we don't often see in our community... free!

How to win:

The entry process is incredibly simple. All you have to do is post once in this thread: B&B Official Contest Entry Thread, and state your intention. Then, send an email with your name, address, and username to: [email protected] (please also put your username in the Subject). None of your personal information will be used for anything other than the contest, and all information sent to the above email address will be deleted once the contest is over. That's all there is to it! Then you can sit back, cross your fingers, and hope your name gets picked.

Thanks again everybody, now, on to what everyone's interested in...

B&B is giving away 83 individual prizes for a prize pool with a retail value of over $2,900. Below are the prizes B&B members can win:

  • Winners will be notified via PM, and will have 48 hours to respond. In the event the winner doesn't respond, a new winner for that prize will be chosen.
  • It is important to note that due to the way the forum software operates, if ineligible posts are deleted, your post number may change several times up until the time shortly before the winning numbers are drawn.
  • Each member may win only one prize.
  • Only registered users with 10 posts at the time the contest ends are eligible.
  • Moderators and vendors are not eligible.
  • Shipping is free for winners within the United States. Winners must pay for the difference for prizes shipped to Canada (upon the vendor's request). Winners must pay for the full shipping costs for prizes shipped outside the U.S. and Canada (upon the vendor's request).

Lastly and most importantly, have fun! It is a party after all. We'd like to thank all of you members that have made B&B what it is, and all of the vendors who have generously donated their products (as well as shipping expenses). If you're a lucky winner, and would like to show your appreciation, feel free to post in either the review section, or the forums about your prize (at the least, there should be quite a few new acquisition posts :wink: ).

If posting in the entry thread brings my post count to 10, is that ok?

Looks like you're at 11, so you're good anyway. :wink:

But, to answer your questions, all you need is ten posts, counting one post in the entry thread is just fine.

Hi guys,

This thread has been updated to add ten more prizes to the pool. Five one ounce bottles of that manly, put hair on your chest Original B&B (as offered through the BBDC), and five prizes of one pound of primo, great smelling coffee each with a Ristretto Roasters mug from Ristretto Roasters, a premium coffee house in Oregon owned and operated by one of B&B's own.

That brings the total prize count up to 58... Mighty good odds, I'd say, so if you haven't entered yet (or if you haven't submitted your email), you better get to it!

Good luck everybody!

I just sent anothe email. I had all of the correct info but used "contest" (I think) in the subject line instead of my user name. Hope it's still in on time.
 
Just a heads up, the contest entry thread has been updated to reflect the emails received and is current as of 9:50am PDT. If you don't see your pots as being edited, make sure you get your email in as there isn't much time left!
