Thread: RAZOR GIVEAWAY CONTEST

I would like to be chosen. I have been fascinated with the art of straight razor shaving since i was very young.
I'm not sure when i was first exposed to them, I honestly think it was the old Ben Kingsley movie Sweeny Todd. In which, a barber lures customers into his shop, only to slash there throats with his razor, rob them, and serve there corpses to the unsuspecting town, in the form of mincemeat pie.
I have been getting straight razor shaves for some time, but recently, the local barbers have switched to the double sided razor blades, because the authentic ones "are too hard to keep sharp". They charge 30 dollars for a "shave/facial" which is really just: hot towel, lather, hot towel, relather, shave, after shave; 15 dollars just to lather/shave/aftershave (plus tips). Since barbers can do twice as many haircuts at that price in the same time, they dont like to shave any more.
Even if i only am shaved once a week, thats almost a thousand dollars a year. I am young, in college, working, and having to maintain my elderly grandparents home in my spare time. It really is too epensive for me.
Many times i have been tempted to buy straight razors, they have cheap ones everywhere, but i know that the only good shavers are quite expensive new. I've combed ebay quite a bit, but i think now most people know what they're worth, the only razors under 50$ have cracked handles, pitted blades, odd bevels, lop-sided spines etc. etc..

I can assure that if i win the razor, not only will it be used for years to come, but it will absolutely be treated with the care and respect such as a master honesman would provide for many, many years.

*interupted, i got to go, but i would like to add that im an active board member on several sites, ive got numerous profiles with over 1000 posts. i would like to be a contributing member and this razor would absolutley enable me too. thanks for the consideration.
