I have participated in a few pass-arounds on here with much satisfaction. The members of TSD are quite generous and intent upon making this hobby enjoyable for everyone. We all have soaps that aren't our favorites or don't receive much use. However, they may be a winner for another member. Without buying samples or full tubs we could use an opportunity to try some that are new to us. With that in mind I am going to initiate a Shaving Soap Pass-Around for CONUS TSD members. The specifics: CONUS members only Only shaving soaps and creams are in this pass-around I will initiate a box of a few shaving soaps that aren't getting much use in my den The next person in line will receive the box and try any soap they like You will agree to keep the soap box for no more than a week If you enjoy one or more of the soaps you may KEEP it as long as you REPLACE that soap That means if a soap puck has 75% remaining then you will replace with another soap that has 75% or more remaining Please consider contributing soaps of excellent quality and ones you enjoy or would recommend You don't have to keep any soaps; you may use them and then send on the same inventory if you wish Let's avoid the addition of common soaps widely available (Williams, VDH, etc.). Those are great soaps but most of us can get those easily Shipping will be done by USPS Priority Mail with tracking. A small or medium flat rate box should suffice Please take care in the packing of the materials Please communicate the tracking number to the next recipient I will help coordinate the flow of the pass-around Please post a picture in this thread of the contents of the box upon arrival Please post any SOTD pictures, reviews of soaps, reactions, etc. in this thread, as well as other threads that you might normally use If you decide to keep a soap please post a picture of your takes Then post a picture of your replacements I am using the term "soap" here but this can include shave cream as well. Let's use brushable creams and not brushless. Soap samples can be added to the box but please not in place of a larger tub. Respect and communication are key! Respect for the process, the products, and your fellow members as well as a good flow of communication upon receipt of the box, your gives and takes, and between members for good flow. Again, this is limited to shaving soaps and creams. A hardware pass-around is a great idea and could be initiated by another member. There is also the Nationwide Box Tour that will be resuming its path soon. If you are interested - Please post your interest in this thread. Then PM with your name, address, phone number, and email address. Happy shaving and I look forward to trying out this endeavor! ---------- Entrants: 1. dustmite (enjoyed the box) 2. twhite (enjoyed the box) 3. DaltonGang (enjoyed the box) 4.

Good idea, but I would counter and say add something to the box that is top notch and you love and you want others to try. That way it doesn't become a dumping ground of sorts for stuff one doesn't like. Good luck though! Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Of course! New members are encouraged. This can really benefit you. Just put in what you can, or try the soaps and not take any. Send me a PM with your name, address, phone, and email.
Fantastic! Glad to have you aboard. I think I still have your address from sending the Bunny back to you.
Im in. In other passarounds i have participated in before, there was an ongoing list of the products in the passaround and of the order of recipients. Will that be done as well?
@DaltonGang @Hank @Straight razor dandy Welcome! Glad to have you guys aboard! @DaltonGang Please send me a PM with your name, address, phone, and email.
The order of recipients is listed at the end of my original post - I'm updating that as people join. I won't keep a running list of inventory items - that should be taken care of with everyone's pictures of the contents upon arrival, pics of the soaps you decide to take, and the ones you put in for replacement. Use the pictures for inventory purposes.
Quick question You need to establish a box first before there can be a pass around. Are you going to ask for soaps to be sent to you to set up the box? That way the first few guys aren't gipped with no soaps in the box. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
