Update Okay Ya'll, the previous GB is here. For those of you who are not aware, there are are three grades of Weishi: Decent = all metal construction, a good heft, nice finish, copy cat Super Speed in form and function, an okay value as a starter razor So-So = lightweight aluminum, but still all metal construction Junk = some kind of metal handle, model car league chrome plated plastic everywhere else. The Weishi's in this picture break down as follow, starting with the razor in the blue rectangular box at 7 o' clock: Decent - however, the doors are funky. They do not open and close straight and even and you have to mess with them to get them to work right. So-So / junk - it is pink, it is lightweight, I paid $17.00 plus shipping for one and was quite underwhelmed. However, the one that we put in GB-2011 at least has evenly closing doors, this one does not and takes some fiddling. So-So / Junk - same as previous, but chrome and has Weishi on the doors So-So So-So So-So / Junk Junkity-Junk-Junk - the only metal is the handle, everything else is shiny plastic Junkity-Junk-Junk - the only metal is the handle, everything else is shiny plastic with super lazy doors. These razors might be okay as give-a-ways, but I question whether or not we should all pay to ship them around the country if no one is interested in them. What do Ya'll think?
I trust your judgment on them and say based on your descriptions, leave them out. More room in the box for good stuff!

Okay Ya'll, unless someone specifically speaks for the gaggle of Weishi's, Ima gonna pack them up separate and donate them and a pack or two of blades each to the Newbie Give-A-Way bucket. Xezmer - I will drop a pink one in the box for you since you have expressed an interest.
No objection at all to you getting some of the goodies as you started this or to taking the welshi's out
I did say a post or two above that the box would ship tomorrow, but I also said a few posts back that I would ship March 5th, with the cut off being March 4th...I am a week ahead of myself! Since Fishcrow / Bradley has posted his interest, and it is not March 4th, we will let him in. I will still ship tomorrow, so today is the cut off. I am pretty sure anyone interested has replied by now. I listed the recipients from East to West, regardless of the latitude when I first made the list. Iowa is closer to Illinois, and it is a toss up on my little map to decide who is farther east, so I am plugging Fishcrow in where I think it fits best. dashmaverick. (MD) Ocharlas. (NY) Kiltedshaver. (TN) Iamthejody. (MS) JoeMal. (IL) AnB_Daddy. (IL) Dslazar9. (IL) Hank. (IA) Fishcrow (AR) Freebird. (OK) Xezmer. (TX) Billr. (WA) excalibur5. (AK)
Okay Ya'll! GB2011 is all packed up and will ship tomorrow! She is packed full! I took 7 packs of Personna Red and seven packs of Dorco 300 to put with the seven Weishi taken out of the bag for future Newbie Give Away each month. The players list is closed for this round. If you are reading this thread and you want to join, you may send me your contact info and you will be added to the list when the box returns to Florida. BOX BOX BOX, GOOOOOO BOX!
No. What you need to do is watch to see who has the box before you on the list and send your contact info to that person. I have a master contact list in case someone needs prodding to keep the box moving. The list is now fixed at: dashmaverick. (MD) Ocharlas. (NY) Kiltedshaver. (TN) Iamthejody. (MS) JoeMal. (IL) AnB_Daddy. (IL) Dslazar9. (IL) Hank. (IA) Fishcrow (AR) Freebird. (OK) Xezmer. (TX) Billr. (WA) excalibur5. (AK) So, Ocharlas / Olivier needs to to PM his contact info to dashmaverick / Anthony, and perhaps vice versa. I sent the box to dashmaverick / Anthony today, USPS tracking# 0308 0070 0000 4673 2222 he should have it Monday, and will then send to ocharlas / Olivier just as soon as ocharlas sends dashmaverick his (ocharlas) shipping info.
Okay guys, don't worry, I've got the box safe and sound. I guess it got here yesterday but the concierge at the front desk failed to inform me I had a package waiting. Looks like A LOT of goodies! Give me a day or two to pick through the goodies, add my own, and pack it up again. I'll have pics up and the box sent out by Saturday.
