Damn Fine Shave participation in Movember (2016)

Hi all,


We're back for another year of participation in Movember to help raise awareness and money for men's health issues!  Last year we raised over $1,000 and this year our goal is to do $2,000!!!

With the idea of getting the forum involved, I reached out to all of the merchants on the forum to see if they'd donate some shaving supplies that will be broken up into several different lots and offered up to whoever agrees to donate the most money for each given lot.  We're going to do 4 lots in November, with each new one starting on a Sunday, in a new thread.  So far we've had several merchants agree to donate shaving supplies to help raise money.

Here's a list of merchants that have agreed to donate products to the forum (I'll add to it as more respond to me):

andrewjs18 of Damn Fine Shave
ShadowsDad of Krampert's Finest
whollykaw of WhollyKaw
ezlovan of Stirling Soaps
MrFine  of Fine Accoutrements
CaD314 of Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements
Ryan @ Tallow + Steel of Tallow & Steel
Viking of Viking Soap
KyleontheRange of Range Leather
Thalasos of Seygus Razors
ESBrushmaker of Brad Sears Shave Works
hawns of Chatillon Lux
CrowneAndCrane of Crowne & Crane
TryABlade of Try A Blade
jankdc of The Gentle Shave
Doug@Timeless of Timeless Razors
envyshave of Envy Shave
Fair_to_middlin of Canadian Blade Company
Mystic Water of Mystic Water
Barrister_N_Mann of Barrister & Mann
Bob Quinn of Elite Razors
@"Sapone Di Paolo" of Sapone Di Paolo
dcc of Polsilver Blades
wetshavingproducts of Wet Shaving Products

I'll post photos of each box of items that a merchant sends to me, to help keep everyone interested.

**Please note: I'm unable to ship any aftershaves and/or splashes with alcohol in it outside of the United States.  If you agree to donate the most money for a lot that lot has an alcohol based aftershave or splash in it and you live outside of the United States, I will have to pull that item from the lot before sending it out.**

I have set up a team page with a fundraising goal of $2,000.  if you'd like to donate on your own without getting involved in trying to offer up a top donation for a shaving supply lot, you're free to do so on the team page.  100% of the money raised will get donated to the Movember Foundation.  When a donation is made to the team page over on the Movember website for a shaving supply lot, I'll provide a copy of the receipt (sensitive data obscured) so everything is kept open & honest.

At the end of the Movember fundraiser, we're going to have a best mustache contest where the winner will win several prizes.  If you'd like to be entered into the best mustache contest, please post a photo of your mustache while holding up a written note with the date before November 1st and then another photo at the end of the contest so we can compare the two!

Thanks,

DFS Team
