Grab bag

Thanks for all the suggestions, folks. Yohann, Lee you guys gave me some great ideas.

Everyone on the list, please PM me your address and I'll try to make a new list that will minimize travel time and aim for fairness.

 

Gnetics,

You are in California? Huhh... I guess what is why burningdarkness was saying.. why go from (me: Cali) to (coyote: Indiana) then back to Cali... Doesn't make sense...

Good Thinking Burning . Will PM you soon!

Hey Dom, do you need my address too?

 

Ok, let me know what you guys want to do. Mojavered is no longer on the list as he PM me and let me in on his situation. I will finally open the box and post pictures tommorow lol. I am also in california and will PM you with my address.

 

That does make sense, going state to state acrross the US. The only thing is we might have to close the list so its fair to the people waiting at the ends and not have people added in the middle? If that makes sense..lol

 

Hello guys.

Gnetics - I will send you a PM a little bit later today with where to ship it next. It'll probably stay there for about a week while I figure out the new list, but we'll make sure this keeps moving along.

 

Got the PM Dom, It will be going out tommorow. Here are the pics finally, WHat came in the box, What I am putting in, and what I am taking out. Great stuff guys!! I had fun with all the scents.

 

Got another (no name) wooden bristle Brush, added a twice used C&E tube Cream. As I gave the other brush (vintage rubberset) I took from the box to my sisters fiance since he was interested in wet shaving. I also gave him my 3 piece gillette and some samples as well as the polar ice sample I got from the box...I think I converted my first shaver!! :happy102

 

Finally got it out today sorry about the delay guys, USPS Confirmation # 9405 5036 9930 0060 9197 30

 

Congratulations! Woo hoo!

 

Can you add me to the list?

 

Hello Guys,

So the package has been sent to the last person? So this means that the next round is coming?

Cool! Can't wait to try some new stuff. I just started using the soaps and i like so far . I guess I will need to get some after shaves and some new brushes .

Freebird, you might want to contact burning darkness about this.

Take care guys!

Dark

 

PM me you address and I'll stick you on the new list once I make it.

I believe the package has been sent to the last person. I'm just waiting to hear from him and then the next round will start.

 

USPS tracking updated, the box has been processed by Baltimore,MD Sorting facility! Should be there soon!!

 

Package has arrived. I will get pictures sometime this evening.

 

Okay fellas, here goes.

As requested by Dom, I have split the box into two. While doing so, I took all the blades out of the cardboard backings and big display boxes. After that, I split the various makes of blades as evenly as the numbers allowed, and put them in two big bags (one bag for each grab box). The numerous product samples are also evenly split, with each box containing samples of the green clay, GFT, and T&H. The razors are also split pretty good, with each box containing SE's, closed comb DE's, and open comb DE's. The actual shaving creams and soaps were a little more difficult, but I think they are split fairly according to cost and quality.

The first pic is what I recieved in the box.

The second is what I am keeping from it. For fairness reasons, I did not take any soaps or creams in full (aside from the tube of GMM), but rather used the cheese slicer shown in the picture to take a slice off of them instead. That way others can still try them too. Same with the C&E cream, and the weird other stuff. I just squirted some in a bag. No need to be greedy.

The third is what I put in. The MB soap is about 75% full, the TBS is unused, as is the Skin Bracer. The baggies contain pure menthol crystals, which are frickin' very potent. Dad had a whole darn container of them, and I will never use them all. The soap samples are from TGQ. The little cream vials are ???. What is not pictured in there is another TBS synthetic brush, and some more samples. There were only three brushes in the intitial box, so I put the other TBS brush in to even them up. The samples were not quite even either, so I fixed that. I also put in two closed comb razor, and two open comb razors.

The fourth is box #1

The fifth is box #2

If you guys have any comments or whatever before this stuff gets sent out, please post them in this thread.

 

Thank you very much, Jason.

The box was getting too fully to carry on. As such, it decided to have a baby.

Jason will hold onto the boxes until I get the lists sorted out (probably on Monday). I will have one box circulate on one side of the US and the other box circulate on the other side. That way, things will be quick and everyone will see a box soon. Once that is done, we'll switch it up again. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please let me know.

I'm heading out of town for the weekend with the girlfriend (it's her birthday this weekend) and don't know if I'll have internet access. I will be back online late Sunday night.

 

Dom, are you okay with the division of the items?

 

Hey guys, just want to chime in real quick. I used the Nivea cooling ASB last night for the first time. Two hours, some vigorous use of hydrocortizone cream, and a few benedryl later, the burning subsided and I could get to sleep. Hopefully, it is just a reaction that I had, and not something wrong with the ASB.

If it is all the same to you guys, I am going to switch it with something else in the grab bag. I will add another ASB that I have to the other bag so that they both have an ASB along with the splashes I put in each.

Whoever gets the Nivea ASB next should do a quick test before appling a full use.

 

Wow! Guys!

That is such a great idea! 2 boxes running . I think it is better and generous! Thanks for taking the time and separating jfever.

Lets hope next year we continue to do this and instead of 2 boxes we have 4 .... JEJEJE. I hope everyone is happy with this, I am sure are. Now that I think about things... I was suppose to get some after shaves jejeje. I might wait for box ...

Lastly,

I would like inform you guys that I will be out for 2 weeks staring Dec 18, 2009 till Next Year. I didn't know where to put this info, but I have been twitting about this. Just for your information. Anyone who want to contact me, please do so before the 18.

Thank once again and have a great day!
