[Closed] PIF comes to Singletrackworld (Pay It Forward)

sadexpunk · 2015-02-21T17:19:58Z

got into this shaving lark at christmas, and thanks to the vast amount of advice and help over on [urlDE shaving thread[/url], in just a couple of months my bank accounts a lot lighter now :-D some of that advice led me to the badgerandblade website based in US, and ive spent many hours since, brushing up my knowledge on there too. its a great community spirit over there, a sort of 'singletrack of the shaving world', with a friendly, helpful atmosphere. one of the things i discovered on there, is this [url'help each other out' type of thing[/url]. never heard of it before, but its all over that site. the generosity warms the cockles of my heart, and reading the 'rules', it seems to me the sort of thing that the good folk on here would approve of and embrace. so...... id like to try introducing it here, see how it goes. it may last for thousands of posts over thousands of years, or it may just fizzle out with the first person receiving an item, then disappearing without trace, happy with his ill gotten gains. please study the link above for how it works, but really its just relying on the good nature of decent human beings :-) like i say, i dont know how its going to go, it could end with this post, it could stay on the shaving topic, or it could end up with lots of people offering all sorts of things from toasters to concert tickets to furniture and maybe even the odd bit of bike stuff, who knows? ill start off by staying on the shaving topic and giving away my newly bought and hardly used [urljagger DE89L razor[/url], with a selection of blades ill chuck in too. ive just bought it and used it a few times, but i prefer my merkur, plus ive got another 3 vintage gillettes in the post coming from the US, so i figure someone else would get more pleasure from it. i was going to put it on the classifieds, but thought id like to give it away instead, and start spreading a bit of goodwill which will hopefully lead to lots of people helping lots of other people out. its a cracking razor, and probably the one ive seen recommended most for people to buy. the only rules for this are, id like it to go to someone who hasnt got a DE razor yet, and wants to try it, rather than someone just adding to their collection and rubbing their hands gleefully :-) also when youve got it, report back on here telling us what you make of it, whether youre keeping it and now spending a fortune on shaving gear like a few of us, passing it on to someone else, offering something else as a PIF instead, or just any other favour of some sort to someone. no selling it for personal profit! ill pay postage. please, could i ask that we keep this thread on this PIF topic. no offering husbands or wives as a joke, or asking for shaving advice, (theres the 'proper' thread for that ^^^) and lets just see how it pans out, if at all. itll be interesting to see, and if it fizzles out so be it. itd also be good for all offers, acceptances and feedback to be made on this thread rather than private emails, which can just be used for personal details. so.......who's up for an Edwin Jagger DE89L then?

Petrol strimmer, generally needs a new plug and fuel before it will start each year and never hugely reliable. Then when it does work it vibrates so much you lose all feeling in your arms.
Ive given up and upgraded, prob not worth posting but if you are near Aviemore or inverness and you need one its yours.

You know this thread about making a home made GPS thing with a mobile phone?

Anyone want a waterproof 3.5 inch Sony Android phone to try it? It's pretty poor as a smartphone, but might be just the job for this application.
