Canadian Bunny Razor Pass Around

    I’m happy to announce that I’ll be helping with the Bunny razor pass around for Canada. Here is how the Canadian Bunny Pass around will work:

    Any Canadian wishing to test and evaluate the Bunny razor will be required to send me a PM noting your geographic location. My plan is have the Bunny razor travel from West to East and back again. I will poll the participants to see who is interested in the razor making a return trip back the way it came, giving each a chance to try the razor twice before ending back in BC with me. I will post the names of the participants in geographic order after the February 28th sign up deadline (about the time I expect the Bunny to arrive from Tom)
    I will include several brands of blades with the Bunny razor for anyone who doesn’t have blades (I know it can be difficult to find them up here). If you have blades to PIF, you’re encouraged to add them to the box (maybe you’ll get them back on the return trip).

    Now to the rules.
    • Shave as often as you like but please forward the razor after you’ve had it for 10 days. If you don’t like it or are done with your evaluation early, no hard feelings – really! But please send it on sooner to make the wait shorter for your fellow shave fanatics.
    • Please post comments about your shaves. What works well, what would you change about the Bunny, and what you don’t like are all useful comments. Any and all ideas are welcome.
    • It is your responsibility to contact the next person after you for their address and to mail it to them in the box it arrives in. ( I will help facilitate this process through PM as well).
    . Please be sure it is insured for $50 as you are responsible for the razor from the time you receive it until the time the next person receives it.
    • A tracking number must be assigned to the shipment and you agree to PM the tracking number to me and to the next person on the list when you ship it.
    • Prior to shipping the razor, you also agree to disinfect it and to send it with a blade loaded. Do NOT send the razor on without a blade loaded.
    • After you receive the razor please let us know that you received it with a post on the thread.

    I recommend that you sterilize the razor when you receive it and replace the blade. The mild comb (MILD) is highly recommended for your first shave. After that, please experiment with combs and blades as you see fit and let us know what you learn.

    As this is a shaving forum activity we want to accommodate all who want to try the Bunny razor. After all that is part of the fun. We do not know how many want to have a try with them. If there are a lot it may take a while to get to you. I hope you will understand.

    Just an FYI, all Canadian tracked packages via C.P. come with $100 insurance.
    Let the fun begin.

    Thanks Rob. I basically copied and pasted the pass around rules from my American buddy. :D

    It looks like the Bunny has arrived in Montreal. Soon to be at his new home.

    Youre on the list Celestino.

    I will be posting a photo of the Canadian Bunny once I get it in my grubby little hands next week, have a couple shaves with it and get it on its west to east and back again road trip shortly thereafter.

    The Canadian Bunny pass around will look like this:
    1. Me
    2. Roderick (Grand Praire AB)
    3. Celestino (Vancouver BC)
    4. targa88 (Calgary AB)
    5. Red Rider (Mississauga ON)
    6. Douglas Carey (Carelton Place ON)
    7. Jean-Marie Zeitouni (QC)
    8. Spud (PEI)
    If everyone is still interested, the Bunny can return back the way it came with everyone getting a second try (maybe with a different blade or comb?). Seeing SPUD is the current turn around man, he has the option of keeping it for an extended trial.

    Hopefully everyone can take a photo with the Bunny near a landmark in your respective city and share with the group.

    I'll keep the group up to date through pm or on here or both:D

    It departed Montreal QC on Feb 23rd on route to its destination, as stated by USPS tracking.
    Im not sure why it went to Eastern Canada from the Western USA on its way to Western Canada, but who am I to question the Postal Service and their infinite wisdom:D
    It hasnt cleared customs but likely it will happen when it reaches BC, which may take a day or two then to me....im guessing Wednesday...:)

    Umm, maybe they were competing with the Royal Mail or European postal services? :cool:

    Roger, should we post our impressions of the razor in this thread?

    Yes, lets keep our Canadian Bunny shaving impressions here. Unless of course we're supposed to be posting elsewhere, and it that case hopefully someone will jump in to point us in the right direction.

    Keeping them on their respective zones is fine. You can always copy and paste to other posts. @Karl G posts on the SE and injector, homemade and east coast. or just posts the link on all the others. Keeping his review on the East coast page.

    What ever works for you. It is supposed to be Fun.
