Thread: Shaving Stuff for the troops

There should be 500 blades in there.

You are 100% correct. It's 500 blades. Looks like I have a hard time with math when I"m excited

Had me worried, I thought I'd either miscounted or forgot to put everything in the box . I'm working on a deal to get a good number of DE razors to you for next month, just have to wait for my next check.

Any word from TomlinAS on his buddies' needs yet?

He said he was in a fairly well-supplied area. He has some friends who are in forward operating bases might not be as well-supplied.

Since another SRP Razor giveaway is coming up, I'm going to do something for all of you guys who are helping me out with this project. You may excuse yourself from the drawing if you choose to do so, but please send me a PM rather than clutter up the thread. Same thing goes for questions.

IF you contribute by sending me shaving products or PayPal, you are entered in my drawing. This giveraway is outside the normal SRP Razor Giveaway. Nobody else has a shot at this razor.

If you are listed in a thread here, on the day of the SRP Razor Giveaway (actual date to be determined) you are eligible. Being included on this list does not exclude you from the normal SRP Razor Giveaway. However, signing up for the general giveaway does not and will not enter you into my drawing.

I want to make this equitable for everyone involved. I will therefore be utilizing a point system that works something like this:
Each 50 DE blades = 1 entry in the hat
Each used DE razor = 1 entry
Each new DE razor = 1 entry
Each brush = 1 entry
Soaps & creams will be 1 or 2 entries, depening on the product. Sorry guys, but a cake of Williams and a cake of Trumpers (or one of Colleen's soaps) ain't the same thing.

I know this doesn't cover all the bases. I will be as equitable as I can for all of you who have sent PayPal, straight razors, etc.

Your name will go in a hat, and whoever I happen to draw will receive a 7/8 Filarmonica Doble Temple honed by Lynn. This is a great razor from my personal collection.

Just to be clear, there's still time for everyone to get in on this. If I receive your stuff before the general drawing (which is a couple of weeks yet) you're in. I could really use about 20 more DE razors to go with the nearly 800 blades going overseas (hint hint). I'll deal with cleaning & sterilising them if you guys will send them.

I've got a couple de's I'm cleaning up AND I'm hitting up the local "antique" shops, etc. in addition to all the churches I can think of. We'll see what comes of it.

Are you sending after shaves and lotions or just the essentials? I have a bunch of aftershaves by mennen (1.5 oz each) that have never been used.

How about a Gem Micromatic and some teflon coated gem blades, I also have a Mama Bear soap .
Ray

I'm sending anything & everything!

The gem sounds great. I have a couple of Colleen's soaps, and I'm sure MamaBear's would fit in just fine.

Aftershaves, lotions... bring it. What's a good shave without aftershave
