Ummm, yeah. You might want to watch this thread...

Yes, today is an epic day. Not only because FOOTBALL IS BACK but also because today, September 01, 2012 marks my 2-year anniversary as a member here at THE Shave Den!

And to celebrate, I'm holding this TSD Fundraiser!

$5.00 will get you one entry into the random drawing - decided by random.org. You can enter as many times as you'd like at $5.00 each!

So if you want only one entry, donate $5.00. If you want two entries, donate $10.00 - and so on.

To purchase your entry(ies), use the TSD Donation page found here:
http://www.theshaveden.com/forums/donations/donate
Be sure to NOT check the 'Hide Identity' box! If you do, we won't know who you are!

And here's what the lucky winner will receive:

• 1 - Handmade Robert Becker "Cranberry" shaving scuttle. It comes with its lid and with its rubber stopper. I purchased two of these from Robert last year, in case I found myself clumsy and broke one of them. THIS ONE has never been used. Mint. Waiting just for you to whip up some awesome, warm lather!
• 1 - Frank Shaving SILVERTIP BADGER HAIR shaving brush. This has never been used! And you just can't turn down that candy-apple red handle!
• 1 - C.O. Bigelow shaving cream. Never used. Brand spanking new, in the box! Good stuff, this. Made by Proraso in Italy. Awesome eucalyptus scent. A fantastic shaving cream!
• 100 - Voskhod double-edge razor blades, 5 per pack, 20 packs! All new! A very fine blade, made in Russia NOT by Gillette.
• 1 - Vintage 1940s Gillette fat-handle Tech. This razor is a beauty. I can say with confidence that it has never been used. Minty gold! It even has that rainbow-effect gold plating on the head cap. It's coming out of my personal collection so you know it's nice.

So there you have it! Pictures can be seen below!

The rules, in addition to making a donation of $5.00 for each entry:

1. Unfortunately, due to the weight and the nature of the items in this raffle, this is only open to Continental United States shipping addresses. The weight will make it quite expensive to ship and the ceramic scuttle stands more chance of arriving broken after long world travel.
2. As with previous raffles I've done, there is a minimum threshold limit... If this fundraiser raffle doesn't raise a minimum of $100.00 - the raffle becomes null and void and your money will be refunded to you, if you desire. I think this is very fair considering the conservative value of this raffle is $150.00 plus shipping costs. It would hardly be fair to only have raised $25.00 for TSD, wouldn't you say?
3. The raffle will end Sunday, September 9, 2012 at 10:59 PM Central (8:59 PM Pacific, 9:59 PM Mountain, 11:59 PM Eastern). Providing we've met the minimum fundraising goal of $100.00, the random drawing will be done and posted here, in this thread, sometime Monday, September 10, 2012.

That's it! Use the link above and donate for your entries! And GOOD LUCK!​

With those goodies in the raffle it should fetch a nice amount of money for The Shave Den! Good luck everyone!

 

O.K. people, $10 has already been posted so there is only $90 left to raise before Jody has to release this treasure.

Good fortune to all who enter.

 

I don't apply (being non-Conus), but great idea, Jody!

 

Great idea Jody.

 

Happy Anniversary My Friend.....And such a Hip way to celebrate...so like you......

Wow....2 years...seem like you've had all of us drooling over the most beautiful razors for longer than that....You one of the cats who taught many of us the true meaning of "Fuctional Art".......Looking forward to many more years of sharing the den with you.....and Best of Luck with this Great Idea of a Raffle.....

And I repeat Gary's sentiments in wishing "Good Fortune To All Who Enter"

 

2 years of great advice. Keep it going.

Donation made.

 

Good raffle Jody. Awesome haul for the lucky winner

 

I will be donating soon! And many thanks for your generous prize offering...Oh and congrats on 2 years!

 

I really do feel bad that our non-CONUS members can't participate in this. I just don't want the scuttle being broken in such a long transit.

But I've got something else in mind for non-CONUS members ONLY later on - something that won't easily break in transit.

 

Does it involve $30 million in maple syrup recently stolen from Quebec? (I won't tell. Promise.)

Congradulations on your 2 year anniversary. Very wonderful and unique way to celebrate!
I'm sure you will make your dead line with such fantastic gifts!! I'm in for 5 tickets!

 

Jody, congrats to your two years on the TSD.

What can I say, Gary. Every family has at least one "special" member, ya know?

 

Jody, a most excellent way to celebrate your 2nd anniversary at the Den, thank you very much!

And now, if you'd pardon me, I am off to a late breakfast. My Chef tells me we've just received a delivery of fresh maple syrup, apparently at an unbeatable price - I wonder how he managed that...

 

I would be extremely suspicious if it's labeled in French. Just sayin'.

 

No labels, I'm afraid, which actually makes me wonder....
But no, Chef is (generally) a trustworthy fella from Toronto.

Mmmh, le pancake au maple syrup, c'est bon! Yum!
