Thread: Time For Another SRP Give Away

Hi Guys,

Been a while since we have don an SRP giveaway where a few of us donate shave ready razors for some new folks who either don't have or can't afford a razor to start out with. As always, we only ask that they pass on a razor to a new person down the road when they are able.

We have had members both donate razors and help out with the drawing. Anyone interested?

I will be donating 3 razors this time.

Lemme know so we can get the show on the road.

Thanks,

Lynn

As my rotation is growing fairly large and I do have some duplicate types, I will pledge one, just gotta decide which one lol.
I would also like to invite manufacturers and dealers in other shave-related items to join in.

I'll donate 2 razors and 5 strops. Some of the strops will be with linen, some will be plain leather. I'll be sure to avoid blemishes in the hide. Should I make them 2.5 or 3 inch wide?

This is great guys and we welcome anyone else who wants to contribute.

Let's see who wants to do what and give what. Gather the names and try to get stuff out to the people in the next 30 or so days if possible.

Awesome!!!

I think I can probably spare a few razors for the give away. One of them will be the tonsorial gem that I received in the last give away. It is one of the first razors I've owned, but I'd like to keep the spirit alive of passing it along to some other lucky shaver.

And let's keep it on the downlow a little bit so that just those who will participate will get one? I remember a LOT of people coming out of the woodwork last time who we've hardly/not heard from since.

That's true, but probably a little difficult to pull off. What I suggest is having a draw, but weighting each persons chances based on the number of posts they've made when the draw starts. That way, those who have contributed, have a more deserved better chance of snagging a razor. Though, these giveaways are meant for the newbies, so I'm not sure how effectively it would work. Figured I'd just throw in the idea though.

Count me in as always. I had several #1 best strops made from leathers I no longer use. Instead of selling them as planned I'll donate these to the cause.

Let me know how you are going to set this up and I'll be glad to help in any way.

This is an interesting idea. I want to throw out however that, just because we're not hearing from them doesn't mean they're not benefitting from what they receive. There's no way for us to tell if they're just the quiet types and many are like that.

Hello,

So I don't want to sound bad but I don't know how you guys usually go about deciding who get certain items. I am very new and Lynn sent me a razor a while ago but I have not been able to afford anything else yet. I could get a mug, brush and soap from Target for cheap, but I am really in need of a decent strop in order to get started shaving, at least until I can get one of my own. So if you guys need someone to give a strop to I would be glad to take it at least until I can get one of Tony Miller's sets.

Thanks,
Chris.
