Can you believe it? My Ultimate Minimalist Competition is almost completely over. Not sure what I'm talking about? Check it out here:
theshavingcadre.com
I have 377 shaves on both my Personna blade and my puck of Williams, as of today, but I only have a few shaves left on my Williams before I call it a wrap.
By golly, that soap has lasted far longer than I ever thought possible. I knew I could probably get 200 out of it, but stretching it out to a year plus, with some encouragement from Barber Dave, was quite the challenge. Gotta give props to @OpusX who also stuck it out and completed 365 shaves on his puck and blade as well. I guess I'm the only one crazy enough to keep going... and yes, I do intend to keep going on the blade after my soap is gone. Maybe I can make it to 400.... who knows maybe more?
"So what's this I hear about a PIF/Contest"... I'm hearing from the back of the room. Yes that's right! I have picked out the soap that I will use for my first shave in over a year, that isn't Williams.... and I want to see if anyone can guess what it is. Yes, I have a lot of soap to choose from, but I assure you that it is one of my favorite scents from one of my favorite artisan soap makers, and that should narrow it down just a tad.
Look at what you could win! An Old Spice Bank, and Old Spice Stein, and of course..... A new puck of Williams Mug Soap! And if I'm feeling froggy (and participation is high), I may add some other stuff as well.
Da Rules.....
1. Enter this contest by posting, below. Say you're in and add your name to the sign-up list...... but DO NOT enter your guess in this thread.
2. Send me a Private message with your guess, include both the artisan's name and the soap's scent.
3. I will keep this contest open as long as guesses keep coming in, or until I'm ready to leave for the TSC conference.
4. Judging:
A. If one person gets it exactly right, they win.
B. If multiple people get it right, there will be a random draw of those entries.
C. If nobody guesses the scent correctly, but one or multiple people at least get the artisan correctly, the rules above will apply in like manor.
D. If everyone sucks at guessing and nobody gets the artisan or the scent correct, then everyone's name will go in the hat.
Prizes will be mailed out shortly after the contest closes, but I Reserve the right to deliver the prizes in person at the TSC CON, if the winner is a convention attendee.
Good Luck to all!
