Have you ever seen a little kid fearfully throw himself off a high dive, arms and legs flailing, only to plummet 50 feet to the biggest, most painful belly flop of all time?
That’s kinda how my latest attempt at de-lurking dBlogIt went. But the survey was a huge success! Well I’ve got a great surprise for you, but first the results of the survey…
In case you missed it the survey asked “What do you use to shave?” and you can still cast your vote. At the time of this post we’re up to 60 votes and some surprising results. I figured that the electric shaver would come out on top with the regular razor in second but it was not so! In fact, 60% of men use a regular razor and 22% percent use a safety razor. That’s what I’m talking about. You guys are some seriously manly dudes!
So what’s the big surprise?
I was so thrilled at the response to the survey and also so bummed that only 3 people de-lurked that I thought I’d sweeten the deal a bit. And since so many guys were interested in shaving with a safety razor I arranged a special deal just for you, the loyal, (but very secretive) readers of dBlogIt.
THE LeisureGuy himself, author, blogger, and all around nice guy was kind enough to donate two copies of his wonderful book LeisureGuy’s Guide to Gourmet Shaving. Gourmet Shaving is the the ultimate guide to shaving with a safety razor and it’s packed full of his expertise on the subject.
Written for the man who wants to enjoy his shave.
User comment: “I bought this as a gift for my fiancé, along with a wet-shaving starting kit and a safety razor. He DEVOURED this book, and finds himself reading it again and again. He finally enjoys shaving. This book has helped him figure out so many things about wet shaving, and has recommended it to all of his friends and family. Truly a great source of information for any man.”

“…like a fat kid” I”m leaving a comment
You know it’s a man’s blog when an incentive for leaving a comment is being fat. YOu’d never see that on a woman’s blog!
That picture hurts! oooowwwwww!
Count me in. And if makes you feel any better, I tried two rounds of trying to get people to “de-lurk” on my blog to no avail…go figure. Hopefully this new tactic of yours will have better luck. If it does I might just try something similar. Keep the up the great work man!
Giveaways and freebies. It’s not the best way to draw out people, but it is the most effective. Good luck with your quest but I am still under the impression that most people on the Internet are the reclusive sort that do not really socialize that much, even in the social sites.
I’m curious to see whether the promise that you can actually enjoy shaving will bring out the lurkers. (I’m not in the contest…
)
Ok, I’m joining the contest…but I am NOT a lurker!
I’m joining the contest as well.. this site is pretty cool, although I am somewhat of a lurker!
I think I voted in this thing earlier–I’m a recent convert to the safety razor. But I still want the book (don’t have one yet). So I’m in.
What the heck…please count me in. I know this is more for the men so I thought I’d take a shot since I do have a husband who loves surprises!!!!
Cool site by the way!!
