Thread: SRP JANUARY 2015 GIVEAWAY (is now closed)

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING TO THE GIVEAWAY

RULE MODIFICATION IN PURPLE

To promote more forum participation by the members, we are making a small change to the rules for the giveaway:

Signing up for the giveaway is not changing, however in order to be eligible to win you must have made forum posts on four separate days between the ending of the previous raffle and the drawing of the current one. These posts can be in the same thread on four separate days or you can post in several threads on four separate days. One of these four can be your post to the Giveaway thread and must be on a separate day then the other three. However, only one post will count in the Giveaway thread as part of your four. For example, if you have only a total of four posts with two of them posted in the Giveaway thread, one by accident, I will delete the one in the Giveaway thread because you are only allowed one post there which will leave you with only three posts.

It doesn't matter where your raffle entry falls among these posts; all we ask is that you post a few times in the course of the one month period before the
closing of the current giveaway.

The above process needs to be repeated for each monthly Giveaway.

THE PRIZE:

Starting with this thread the SRP JANUARY 2015 GIVEAWAY will start.

This giveaway will last for fifteen days finishing on January 15, 2015 at 11:59 pm EST.

When you sign in your post number will be your raffle number and from that number the winners will be chosen.

These giveaways are for ALL members regardless of how long they have been members as long as the rules above are followed.

I would ask that when you sign in you say something like "sign me up please" along with any comments you care to make otherwise I will not know if you are signing up or just making a comment. If you have already signed up please do not post again as that will take up another post number. Please, if you are not signing up do not make any comment posts as this will also take up another post number. I will be checking on double posts and will PM you if you have made one and the latest one will be deleted. On the day after the closing I will notify the winners and get their address and mail out the prizes. There will only be one winner.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU !!!

THE PRIZE:#1. A shave ready 5/8 Mappin & Webb "Trustworthy" Royal Cutlery Works Sheffield. (reconditioned by GSSixgun) donated by AndrewJM. Andrew's one year anniversary at SRP is this month of January. He wanted to donate this razor as a thank you for all that SRP has done for him. This razor has a bit of a history. Andrew purchased this razor from the estate of Joseph Miceli via his grandson. Joe was the barber for the Carlyle Hotel in New York for many years and cut Kennedy & Truman's hair. Below is some information from a newspaper article about Joseph: Mr. Miceli, known as Joe to his customers, cuts hair for a living. He considers the so-called unisex salon a crime against nature. He is a barber, plain and simple, and and starting in 1931 and for 52 years, except for six months in 1941 when he moved across the street in a dispute with management, he has been the barber at the Carlyle Hotel. The Carlyle is at the corner of 76th Street and Madison Avenue in New York, and some of the gentlemen who live in that area, on Park and on Fifth, got into the habit over the years of coming into the shop to have a haircut. ''This is a very private neighborhood,'' Mr. Miceli said in his shop. ''I used to go to everybody's homes to cut their hair. I cut President Kennedy's hair when he stayed here. President Truman, he used to sit in here and talk to me about when he was President. See, in those days people got a haircut every two weeks. Now with the long hair it's not that way anymore.''#2. A bottle of Pinaud Clubman Citrus MUSK Eau de Cologne donated by PDorsey. #3. A cake of Cella shaving soap. Cella Shave Soap 150g donated by clamup1.
