Thread: PIF Dovo for newbie

I've got a basic DOVO which I got in a PIF (from ProfessorChaos) and it is now time for me to PIF along to the next guy (having hit double digits in razors). I'd like to be sure it goes to someone that is new to straight shaving so that it can suck in a new addict, just like it did for me.

How is it best to do that here? Can I just pick a number and give a week for anyone that wants to play to guess what number I picked and award it to the closest? Do we have enough newbies here in the first place?

Or do we have a newbie only section of a monthly giveaway (maybe it could be coupled with a strop from another donor)?

I thought about this, and I'm going to PIF it at SMF because there are more likely people there that are DE shavers that are thinking about str8 shaving. Most people here are already dug in with str8s.

so i guess pif is off

But didn't you get the razor from ProfessorChaos (member here and at B&B)? If so, why not keep it going around SRP since there are probably more new guys who would STICK with a straight here. They are obviously here for a reason. I've met plenty in the chat who have yet to buy their first. Anyway, just a thought!

Fair poing philadelph. I just didn't get much response at first here, and figured SMF would be more fertile grounds, and sure enough I got an immediate taker, and it was exactly what I was looking for - a long time dedicated participant in the board who had been leaning to straights and just needed that little push to take the plunge.

So it's off to a great home and will no doubt get another player in the game, and who I'm sure will end up at SRP because I will send him here, and also where, after all, else could he possibly end up!

I'd love to re-seed it to B&B but they banned me for life! I also feel uncomfortable sending sharp objects to young children so I figured I'd stick with the adult forums on this one.

Nice! lol Make sure to tell him to sign up for this forum if he wants the best shaving advice available!

Will do for sure! This guy is into it and anyone that is into Str8s has to come here.
