Jody, that is a great addition of the Gillette book and something that can be piffed IMHO after reading. Guess I will have to wait until the next BOX since I missed the sign up on this one.:sad023
Box should be here today! If it gets here early enough I will have time to get it back to the post office by the end of the day. I have errands to run this afternoon so if it doesn't show up until then, it won't be in the mail until tomorrow. I'll keep you posted GO BOX EDIT: Well no box today...we'll see if it shows up tomorrow....
I figured since I had 2 copies that someone would enjoy reading it. And very good idea.. whomever takes the book, please consider PIFing it on when you're done with it.. if you want to. Don't have to of course. Tracking shows it was processed through and left the CHAMPAIGN, IL 61821 facility this morning at 8:56 am. I would think you'd see it tomorrow unless you're very far from Champaign. I really know nothing about Illinois other than the week I spent in Springfield about 7 years ago.
Yeah I'll get it today and have it back in the mail today as well. Then it will take a short trip to the 'burbs of Chicago
It just showed up...wow! Lots of things stuffed in that little box. The stuff on top I'm adding, stuff on bottom I took from the box. Here's a breakdown: Added: (2) packs of menthol crystals Brush, I think it's synthetic but I'm not sure Gingers Garden soap TSD Burmese Woods TSD Winter Pagoda Saigon cream sample Erasmic soap (3-4) Unknown brand of blades Bump Stopper Bump Patrol cream King of Shaves pre-shave oil (not pictured) Kept for myself: TSD unscented cream Maroma Men Cedar Lavender soap (I think this is shower soap...but can the original supplier confirm?) Blades: Shark, Gillette 7'O Clock, SuperMax Platinum, Feather, Personna Reds AOS ASB Realm ASB Palmolive cream (not pictured)
You didn't take hardly anything so how in the world did you get all the stuff you added into the box?? :happy097
It's already at the post office...since you live so close, I wouldn't be surprised if it showed up tomorrow. I'm happy with the things that I got. It took some careful rearranging but I made it all fit. I've moved more times than I can count so I'm skilled at fitting things into a box I commend anyone who can pack the box successfully on their first try :happy102 And thanks for the Paypal shipping tip Jody, saved me a few bucks I think with the free delivery confirmation
Im not in on this go round But I will be the next time to box goes but the burmese woods will be a great grab.
I received the box today. WOW! There is a lot of things in it! Here is a picture of all the contents Here is the list of everything I took: Gillette Super Speed - My 11 year old daughter wants it, she is planning her first shave for Friday night, she has a dance to go to on Saturday. TSD Burmese Wood Soap TSD Winter Pagoda - Also for my daughter's first shave. 1 Bag of Menthol Crystals Shave Stick Container 10 Bic Chrome Blades 30 Personna Blades 2 Blue Personna Blades 4 Vintage blades - My wife loves the wrappers. The Spoilers Myatt Ladies Razor - Too cool to pass up. King Gillette Book Here is the picture of the items I am taking Here is a list of the items I put in: Crabtree & Evelyn Nomad Soap Crabtree & Evelyn Sandalwood Soap Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna Soap 50 Rapira Blades - 5 packs of 10 blades 30 Orange Derby's - 3 packs of 10 blades Gillette New - couple of crooked teeth and a crack in the handle Gillette Single Ring - A couple of crooked teeth and a crack in the handle EJ Sea Buckthorn Soap - For the life of me, I can not make decent lather with it TOBS Alum Block - I used it 1 time and had a reaction to it, my face felt like it had needles in every pore for 2 days Sample of Anthony Pre-Shave Oil - My wife got it for me to try, but I had a reaction to Anthony products years ago and didn't want to take a chance. Here is a picture of what I am putting in I really was hoping there would be some of the Voskhod blades still in there. :sad023 I guess I will have to order some. I already have plans on meeting with Danny (dslazar9) on Monday afternoon to pass the box to him so there will be less delay in getting the box on the road again. This was such a cool thing to do, I can't wait to be a part of another "Grab Bag" Thanks Jeff (stingraysrock) for putting all this together.
Very nice... beat me to it. My 20 packs arrived today and when I read his message on my phone, I was going to come offer the same.
This is why I LOVE this forum, everyone is always jumping to help someone else out!!! BabyGirl - Thank you very much, I will be sending my address in a couple minutes. :thanks Jody - You're Awesome!!! ::git
And the box makes it to me. I greatly enjoyed meeting Tony-we shared a beer (or two). It's the third time I've met a Den member in person-always class acts, this place seems to attract that. On to the BOX- Box contents sloppily splayed out on the couch-like me after a long day: What I took: Wilkinson Sword Shave Stick Crabtree & Evelyn Sandalwood Soap Gillette Tech -in a very cool box Rapira badex20 Orange Derby bladex10 What I give: (these are truly some of my favorite things) Eveready 1912 SE Razor Ted Pella blade x 5 KAI bade x 3 Iridium Blade x 5 (purchased before there were fakes) Astra Keramik Bladex4 Shea Moisture Brush from Target TSD 2x Iced Peppermint Splash (only take if you love menthol) Osage Rub (again, menthol lovers only) Jack Black Beard Lube Master Shave Soap Caswell Massey Unscented Pre-shave oil This was a blast. Another thanks and kudos to Jeff for getting this started. It may take till Wed to get this to the post, but now it's on to Hank and Iowa-Go West Young Box! The only thing used is the Eveready Razor. I never could have repacked this box myself. My wife is a pro at this. I would have absolutely had to get a bigger box. Thanks Mara.
I love how most of us are putting more in the box than we are taking out! How are we STILL stuffing things into that damn box??!?! :happy102 Thanks guys and gals for making the Grab Bag such an awesome experience!
The good news Brother Doug is that the box is moving along at a very nice clip. At this rate it will be back in Florida before too long and ready to re-launch with you on the list. Thank You Everyone for keeping the box moving and for your generosity!
