To be continued...

Pay It Forward, or PIF as you’ll see it referred to most often, is passing along an act of goodwill.
Instead of paying it back, it is paid forward.

PIFing is an integral part of The Shave Den.
The forum itself is a PIF. A gift of education and camaraderie, from the mods who tirelessly keep things on track and help maintain the atmosphere we all enjoy, to the admin who keeps the cogs turning smoothly, and the members who stick around to pass forward the knowledge they have gained through the forum.

Members have long been helping each other find the best ways to enjoy their shave, by freely passing along soaps, creams, blades, razors, and all the other exhaustive types of wetshaving paraphernalia out there.
And even coffee.

PIFing is certainly more than material objects. Without the in depth educational efforts of many of our members, the tangible items would be near worthless. I believe the educational PIFs carry more value than the physical PIFs.
They just don’t fit in shipping boxes very well, ya know?

The mods were inspired, by the many acts of sharing, to create PIF Month.

We are in our second year of celebrating PIF Month, and it looks like it will be even bigger and better than last year! The ever growing list of PIFs can be seen here.
The PIF contests have been wonderfully creative and fun, and I applaud everyone who is Paying It Forward!

I like to hope that some of us take that goodwill and carry it with us out into every aspect of our lives.
