Thread: PIF

I PIF no more.I have loaned stones to members and never had them returned,I have sent scales,bits and pces of real ivory scrap to several members for wedge material,soap samples,feather and Kai DE blades,never heard a word back.
No more pifs for me, sorry to say

I have received much knowledge, several shaving creams, a honing evaluation, a large donation to my Movember page, and probably a few other wonderful deals/bits/pieces I have failed to mention. I have tried to say thanks whenever possible, but I place a greater emphasis on not reciprocating, but rather paying it forward.

In that regard, I have gifted several razors, strops, soaps, a bit of knowledge, a few razor travel cases that my wife and I make, numerous gratis honings, and perhaps a few other odds and ends I forget.

For me, it is about helping those that need it, and not necessarily those that helped me....most of the guys that helped me, I wouldn't have a clue how to repay them, so I help others.

Regarding loaning stuff out and not getting it back...that's just bad form. It has sad repercussions also. I would love to continue to receive the opportunities I have enjoyed, and I'll continue to try to pay more forward than I receive (not sure it is possible to do this when it comes to knowledge, but I try).
