Two great things: A close shave and a great movie

July 28, 2008 | Contests

Don’t ask me why these things go together; they just do. Because they’re both great, and because the YouCast folks are feeling mighty generous.

Here’s the deal: Schick has recently introduced the Quattro Titanium, a razor that will give you an incredibly close shave and make you feel really manly. (Um, unless you’re a woman, in which case you’ll just have to settle for the close shave.) They’ve also got this fun Trim Flixx site going to let you make goofy movies about the joys of shaving, too. That’s a fun way to kill some time.

In addition, you may have noticed Journey to the Center of the Earth is out in theaters right now, and YouCast is running the Race to the Center! game site to tie-in with the movie and provide a handy little distraction while you’re at work.

Why does any of this matter to you? Because YouCast is going to give away the following to some lucky Want Not readers: One $20 Fandango gift certificate (redeemable for any Fandango-eligible movie tickets, not just Journey), and two Schick Titanium razors.

Want to win? To enter the drawing, simply leave a comment on this post by 3:00 p.m. Eastern (noon Pacific) on Wednesday, July 30th, 2008. Winners to be determined by random number generation and manly stubble, but mostly that random number thing. The first winner will receive the Fandango certificate, and the next two winners will get free razors. One entry per person, valid email address required, please be courteous and turn off your cell phone while in the theater.

Ready? Go!

    Love movies and a close shave. :)

  3. 3 Jamie Says:

    Odd combo– but love the free movies!

  4. 4 Claire Says:

    Sweet! Count me in!

  5. 5 Karla E. Says:

    We love a good boy movie in our house…and the close shave would be a bonus.

  6. 6 Stephanie Says:

    Cellphone off!

  7. 7 Janet Says:

    But is it ok to twitter on your iphone while in the theater? Or drool while your friend does so?

  8. 8 Scott F Says:

    If I win the razors, I can shave enough to see the movie! :)

  9. 9 Alana Says:

    I want to win!!

  10. 10 Binky Says:

    Ok, that’s too good to pass up. Although my stubble is quite feminine.

  11. 11 Chuson Says:

    We take our kids to the movies all the time… pick me…. :)

  12. 12 MMM Says:

    I love using my Hubby’s razors ;)

  13. 13 Missy Says:

    I could really use a movie outing, but a close shave would nice too!

  14. 14 ali Says:

    can’t wait for HP in Nov

  15. 15 ADifferentLaura Says:

    I’m not ashamed to admit that I am woman with some serious man stubble. Still, every year they come out with a new razor that’s supposed to be an improvement over the last one. Just how close can a shave get? Dave Barry once wrote that one day they’ll come up with a razor that has so many blades, it can reach back in time and shave your ancestors.
    LOL.
    :)
    PS: Pick me. I need a couple of movie tickets BAD.

  16. 16 Juli Says:

    Why not? I shave.

  29. 29 beachgal Says:

    ooh, this would be awesome, either way. thanks Mir!

    I need a shave! (Movie wouldn’t be bad either, heh heh.)

  32. 32 divrchk Says:

  33. 33 Wickedly Scarlett Says:

    I’ll throw my name in the hat–I’ve always found that men’s razors give the best shave anyway!

  34. 34 Kiki Bacaro Says:

    My hubby needs the razor to shave his head and I need the tickets to get the heck outa my house:)

  76. 76 Judy Says:

    Me please!

  77. 77 Kate Says:

    Haven’t shaved my legs in months, and it’s nearly two hours to the closest movie theater. I’m in!

  80. 80 tory Says:

    Sure, why not?

  81. 81 Bonnie Says:

    Sounds like fun!

  82. 82 Anna Says:

  83. 83 gretchen Says:

    this is a wacky one, but I’m in!! thanks Mir

  84. 84 mamachristy Says:

  94. 94 Kvv Says:

    Love you, Mir!

  97. 97 Melanie Says:

    I like to win stuff.

  98. 98 Azul Says:

    I’m going to be completely honest here. If I win the tickets, I’ll take my hubby along, but if I win a razor he’s going to have to arm wrestle me for it.

    Movies are good. Little Man in starting to love the theatre.

  141. 141 Someone Being Me Says:

    Awesome! I am dying to go see Dark Knight but I can’t justify the expense of movie tickets and a baby sitter. If I can get the tickets covered then I could convince my hubby to let me get a babysitter.

  142. 142 Tracey Says:

    I’m Greek. That should make the random number generator show me a little mercy. I AM HAIRY!!

    Oh how fun! Thanks for doing these!

  153. 153 Lisa Says:

    Ooh - I love movies and my fiance is always in need of new razors!

  154. 154 Barbara Says:

    Goes well with the Wallace & Gromit “A Close Shave,” you know?

  155. 155 Candi Says:

    I think I actually want the razor more than the Fandango money - I mean really, $20 will get you 2 hours of fun for two people, but just think how far a good close shave will go….boy, that really didn’t sound like it was intended.

  156. 156 Chakolate Says:

    I only have womanly stubble - but I’d prefer the razor, too. :-)

  157. 157 dee Says:

    Count me in. Movies or furless legs…either is a winner here.

  158. 158 Beth Says:

  162. 162 Heather Says:

    Sadly, I have more manly stubble than I’d care to admit…

  163. 163 Brigitte Says:

    Hee, hee Heather! I was going to make some joke about manly stubble starting to appear once you’re in your 40s. Guess I don’t have to now. ;-)

  164. 164 Samantha Says:

    Could definately use a night out at the movies!

  165. 165 Lisa- Domestic Accident Says:

    Will the razor work on my legs?

  166. 166 Heather Says:

    Here’s my entry! Thanks!

  167. 167 Corey Bishop Says:

  175. 175 Cara Says:

    A gift card to the movies would be great!

  176. 176 Anne Says:

    If I win the movie tickets, is a babysitter included? No? Maybe I can find a babysitter who would like to be paid in razors…

  177. 177 Sabrina Says:

    WoooHoo! But the Random Number Generator has a grudge against me so good luck to the person after me!

  178. 178 Amy Says:

  188. 188 Marilynn Says:

    Never saw a good razor that I didn’t like….can’t say the same thing about movies though…….

  189. 189 Katie in MA Says:

    Movies! I love movies! Razors, meh. I’ve got my Venus, so I’m set. But the Almost-Ex! Would be so impressed if the girls gifted him with a razor for Christmas! (And no, it is not weird that I’m thinkinf of Christmas presents in July. A girl has to plan, you know.)

  190. 190 Faith Says:

    I’ll win one of these things eventually…(:
