I will be picking one good man and true who has not entered this draw and will ask him to randomly pick a winner, there can be no muttering's of fix, fix.
I hope this will be to everyone's liking. :) P.

It is a shame I can not open my PIF to everyone from around the world but the postage costs prohibit me from doing so, the only way around this problem would be to ask the non UK entrant to pay the postage and i feel that would be unfair.
Thank you for your comment though. :) P.

Paul if I was in your shoes I would be thinking on same lines. I have almost 400 Gillette green and 200 Supermax Platinums I don't go along well.
There aren't many Indians online and I can't afford to ship international PIFs to those deserving.

Thank you for your reply, it's just a thought .......maybe you could donate your unwanted blades to a few of the street barbers and shavers you often find in parts of India, it would still be a PIF and you would be helping someone continue their trade. I'm sure you will come up with an idea which will enable you to pass on your unwanted blades. :) P.

Already doing that Paul, my barber is down and out oldschool guy plying his trade on the corner of a street. All my blade stash i have foolishly collected just reading to amazing stories of people; is depleted with his help. He appreciated that even worst of my blades were better than his cheap barber supply ones. Remaining ones are going to him only. On the side, I was thinking of a PIF for indian shavers just so they get to experience some of the blades normally unavailable at corner mom N pop stores. No one answered on B&B so I had to withdraw.

Where in India are you? I visited some family in Kolkata last year and saw a cousin who as he bought me some 7 Blacks looked at me and said these are the best. So I sent him some of my favourite blades when I got back home including Permasharp, Nacet, Treet Durasharp, Astra Green, Personna and I spoke to him recently and asked him what he thought of the blades I sent him and he said 'They were good, but I still think the 7 Black is the best.' Which pretty much followed my blade journey from when I got back as well (I really like the Gillette Winner Platinum as well).

I'm going to continue to ramble off topic for a while and apologies for doing so. The neighbourhood barber shop in India (well Kolkata anyway) can be a focus point for the community, and with Covid19 everything's been shut. As much as those guys need to get back working for their livelihood's, they also need to get back working for the sake of their communities.

Anyway, great and generous PIF from Paul as ever.

Very generous!

Not in as I've got through a puck previously (it's good stuff) and have another (Cologne this time) waiting in reserve as well as Valobra menthol croap
