Suggestions for the June Raffle

Bechet · Sunday May 10, 2015

I'm more than a bit stumped on how to do this fairly, to accommodate enthusiasts of all styles of shaving. DEs, straights, soaps, goos, brushes are all easy to do - we can buy them from a shop. How would we set about raffling an SE and a vintage razor? We could pay a lot of money at the vintage section of several shaving shops, though I'm personally loathe to do so. As far as I'm aware, SEs are very much an ebay item and as such no good for these raffles as I couldn't guarantee winning the desired object. So over to you who know about these things, should you want to have an SE or vintage raffle.

Having said that, what do we want to raffle in June? All suggestions welcome but high end items preferred. I've been given a way of drawing one of ninety-eight numbers so, at Â£5 a ticket, we have a max prize value of Â£490 including shipping and a whack for TSR.

Sent you a PM.

Hi all

I discussed this with Carl via PM and he suggested I see if you guys liked the idea or not.

I've got 4 or 5 rather special DEs that could go as individual prizes in the June Raffle:

NOS 1984 Super Adjustable cased and with cardboard shipper

1954 Gold Plated Tech from Pan Am Exclusive Presidents Suite in brass case and remains of the shipper - used twice.

Unused 1930s German Solingen style slant in original case and vintage blades.

Wilkinson Sword Sticky in mint condition with case and original blades.

Cased Gillette Aristocrat replated by Hippo

Does this float anyone's boat?

Very nice collection!

I wouldn't mind betting we have a June prize, right there!

UKRob · Tuesday May 12, 2015

Are we suggesting that all of that is the prize or are they to be split? Either way, I'm in.

You guys tell me what you want - winner takes all or however many winners. It's your raffle.

Five raffles at a Â£1 a go ( have to enter all 5). Drawn as first 5 lottery numbers out?

Seems sensible +1

No chance! That would be about two hundred and fifty tickets I'd have to track! It'll be either winner takes all or 1st, 2nd, 3rd, de dah prizes on your Â£5 ticket.

I'll solve the riddle of which is 1st Prize, which 2nd de dah. We'd start at the Aristo as 1st and work our way up the pile of photos Uncle Bertie posted - if we decide that the razors are indeed to be raffled in June.

Winner takes all good too:icon_razz:

ChopperHarris · Tuesday May 12, 2015

I'll be in on that one - definitely vote for the Aristo as first prize. (nice collection Bertie!)

Bechet · Wednesday May 13, 2015

This has gone very quiet! Can I infer that we are settled on Uncle Bertie's razors as the June prize(s)? Much quicker than I imagined!

And five winners starting with the Aristo?

Job jobbed?
