I started my DE journey just over a year ago, mainly because my skin hated standard cartridge shaving.
I lurked here for a long time before I pulled the trigger on DE shaving, mainly because there was so much information I didn't know where to start.
Even though I'm fairly new here, I was welcomed with open arms, and was also lucky enough to win a PIF myself.
I always knew I would repay that favour to someone else, I just didn't know when or what with - as a relative newbie myself (compared to the veterans here) I don't have a massive treasure chest of kit to pass on.
But it struck me, what I do have is the right kit for someone who is totally new to DE shaving.
So welcome to the "UK/EU starter kit PIF draw to try it out"....I know, snappy name, right?
What's up for grabs here is a good starter all-in-one kit to introduce someone to the world of DE shaving
It contains:
A razor - seems a good place to start. It's a no thrills but totally functional razor - Good weight, nice mild shave - not too scary for a starting razor
1 pack Derby extra/1 pack Wilkinson Sword blades - 10 blades to get you started
Erasmic Shaving Brush - synthetic brush to get you started lathering like a demon
Styptic pencil - because nicks/cuts will happen
Proraso Red soap - well regarded, lovely scent
Proraso White pre/post shave - for sensitive skin - I still have a pot on the go, although I prefer it as a pre-shave myself
I'll also throw in a small postcard sized guide to shaving - while I'd recommend you look at the many useful tips/vids on the site, the internet is not always practical in the bathroom. Consider it the flash card of shaving
The rules:
1. All are welcome - if it's because you want to try out DE shaving, or because you want to pass it on to a friend who keeps eyeing up your expensive kit, I don't mind either way. If you're a lurker that signed up especially, don't forget to look for the Lurker blade PIFs that go up every week (in this forum section)
2. EU and UK only please. Sorry CONUS guys, but the postage over the Atlantic probably makes it not worth it
3. Everything is unused apart from the razor - it has been thoroughly cleaned, but if the thought that it has been near another guy's face gives you clammy sweats, move along - nothing to see here
4. I am not to be held responsible if you fall in love with DE shaving and then spend loads of money on razors/badger hair brushes/creams/soaps etc, nor am I responsible for any time lost to the site
5. Just reply with a post that says "I'M IN" and tell me your favourite Stephen King book/film/TV show/clown-inspired recurring nightmare
6. Closing date will be 23:59:59 (UTC) on October 10th
DE curious but not sure? Why not join the UK/EU starter kit PIF draw to try it out?
