CLOSED: Free Product: Pay It Forward

MR.Z · Post by **MR.Z** » Sat Apr 03, 2010 7:36 pm

Once upon a time, not long ago I was a newbie. I bought some of everything to try. Some razors and creams I have given to friends that used a specific product that I had. I have some product remaining.

I want to give this product to a "NEWBIE" that may otherwise not have the funds to try so many products. You know by now that there are hundreds of products to try. Here's what I have available:

1) Tobac Soap in original ceramic jar= 99.8% remaining
2) Feather TTO Razor= used once, in plastic case
3) Feather Hi Stainless blades (Black)= 2 new 5 packs
4) Astra blades= 3 new 5 packs
5) Gillette 7 O'Clocks (green)= new pack of 5
6) Feather New Hi Stainless (Yellow)= 9 blades
7) Merkurs= 7 blades
8) Shark Super Chromes= 3 blades
9) Bic (Greece)= 3 blades
10) Wilkinson Sword (India)= 1 new pack of 5
11) Speick shave cream= about 1/2 of a tube
12) Musgo shave cream= about 1/2 of a tube
13) Wilkinson Sword boar brush= used only once

I will send all of the above to someone at my expense. I ask that if there are products you have already tried, that you Pay It Forward to another newbie.

This will give some newbie everything they will need to get started.

Good Morning Irv! I applaud your kind and generous offer. Free shaving stuff, Musgo Real SC and Tabac in a bowl, plus a ton of blades and othe stuff. Wow!!! Thanks for coming to SMF! Meanwhile, I'm thinking that a lot of guys will stop by and browse later on today after the kids have finished hunting for their Easter eggs and things are quieting down at home. Have a great day!

Very generous Irv, you are to be commended.

Thank you (PM),
I appreciate the kind words. I admire your desire to keep the PIF concept moving forward. I realized after following many forum threads that there are men and women that don't have the means to get started with wet shaving. That is, beyond disposable razors and cans of foam. I have been fortunate enough to be able to help. There are so many different products that I remember being overwhelmed when I first started. I remember my surprise at how expensive it was to get started. As you know once you find the right combination of products that work for you, most products last a long time. If you try something you don't like, why not give it to someone else to try. And so it can go on.... Most of us probably have drawers full of product they have tried and are not using. Your words of encouragement are appreciated. Thanks for the support. (':)')
Best regards,
Irv (Mr.Z)

Hello everyone, I have been interested in trying out some wet shaving and this looks like a pretty nice way to get started. What do I need to do take up Mr. Z on his very generous offer?

As a newbie it sounds like I just missed this fantastic offer.

I just ordered my first brush and cream (Proraso) to get me started. I still don't have a DE to try but will be looking into one of those next (Still more research). Looking forward to trying this new method out!

Hi Dan,

Although this batch of product is already being sent to someone else, there will be more.... there are many products to try and as I do, I will give away what I am not going to use.

I suggest you start with a vintage Gillette Tech razor. They are very forgiving and gentle. I bought mine from Bob's Razor Works with a newly designed handle. It is great. Remember good technique, a good brush and the blades are most important.

vanduse1 - I too can whole heartedly recommend the Gillette Tech, it's an excellent razor and can be found for a fair price easily.
