    Okay, heres the deal. I'm am offering up one of my restored straight razors as a PIF for TSD members.

    I have yet to decide upon which blade, what scales, etc,—but know this: WHATEVER this MYSTERY RAZOR turns out to be, it will be a SHAVE-READY, functioning straight razor—a far cry from some of the razor-like objects found on ebay.
    Whether it turns into a beauty :love055:… or a beast :eek: ...is still to be decided…BUT it will be a good straight razor for someone to learn upon or at least have fun trying.

    **UPDATE** The Mystery Razor has been chosen! Right now, It's a doozy! :eek: A bit 'rough around the edges' but a very nice blade. This current ugly duckling should clean up into something you wouldn't mind putting close to your face.
    Plenty of rust, pitting, gunk and broken scales…not a pretty picture. The scales are worthless....

    The transformation begins…...

    All I ask is the following stipulations if you are interested in this MYSTERY Razor.
    Please read them before jumping in! Thanks…

    • Continental USA participants only—sorry, my overseas friends!
    You must be NEW to straight razor shaving—either haven't yet started or just began in the past 3 months.
    You must have at least 50 quality posts on The Shave Den—not asking much here, only that participants actually participate in TSD forums.
    • You are not afraid of the dark, circus clowns, nor mysterious shaving paraphernalia.

    I'll use a random online generator for picking the winner.
    DATE of DRAWING: SUNDAY, September 14—7:00pm PST.

    Be mindful of the 3rd stipulation listed in the original post in order to eligible for this PIF. Some of you are not that far off, so as long as you hit the mark (*50 quality posts) by the day of the drawing, your name will be included in the drawing.

    * A 'quality post' to me means contributing something (an opinion or observation) to a thread on the forum. "I'm in" in my opinion, doesn't qualify as a quality posting. I'm not trying to be a testy Rules Enforcer; merely setting some parameters to hopefully encourage participation by members in threads other than PIFs.
