    There's definitely a nice starter set or three in the box.

    Tony - ss there a larger flat rate box???

    The box left here in the largest flat rate box...

    If there is more that you want to take don't be shy!

    Or, if there are a bunch of starter sets, put together a starter set and slap it up for a TSD Newbie PIF...

    Feel free to send me all of your Tabac!

    The Valet looked pretty decent. I threw it in the box before I found out that the Feather blades were finally in stock, but now that I am on to straights i may never have gotten around to trying the Valet / Feather combo.

    Go Box Go!

    Yeah, the flat rate boxes only come in 3 sizes - small, medium and large and I think we're using the large. Of course you're free to use any size non-USPS box for Priority Mail and it'll be based on the weight and where it's going but I don't imagine it'd cost much more than the $14.95 large flat rate box does. If you use PayPal to print the postage label, I think it's $14.45 or $14.50 and includes free delivery confirmation but you can choose the plain Priority Mail option and key in the weight of the box and it'll tell you the cost.

    So you won't have to dig back through the thread to find PayPal's shipping page:

    Glad to see you took that wooden brush handle I put in. Looking forward to seeing your restore job with it!

    And I see no one has wanted any of the vintage shave stick containers I put in. :happy097

    Good job on the PIF lots. Those should make some newbies happy!

    I would've been all over it. I'm on a brush restore spree right now. It's alright though, i've got 6 waiting on me right now.

    I'll gladly grab me a tin :D

    Address sent to freebird!

    Dont tempt me, I almost grabbed one of the shave stick containers. Lol I just didn't want to be greedy.
    They would be great to keep matches in, and the one with holes ala a salt shaker would've come in handy for talc. Being on an insulin pump I wind up. With adhesives around the port. I usually sprinkle a little talc to alleviate that situation.

    I have no issues here with regard to what you are taking or donating. Looks like a few new shavers will be off to a good start.

    I think that Xezmer was wanting to nab on that Pink Weishi though...

    I actually noticed a little late that you had stuck that in the box for me. I would've advised otherwise had I seen it in time. I was hoping one of the other gents may have someone who would fancy it... me, it's useless to.

    All my ladies are stiff and my DE collection is firm (unless it's a feather or PILS).

    I took one of them Jody. I am actually using it to store my Arko stick.

    Right on. I've got a few in use myself because I've got too many different shave sticks open from use. While I do have a Palmolive Shave Stick in a vintage Palmolive Shave Stick tin, there's just something not sitting right with me about that Valobra Shave Stick I have in a vintage Colgate Shave Stick tin right now... :happy102

    Um, right, that would be a different forum Bro.

    I'm sorry. I think that came out wrong.

    What I meant was the ladies in my family are cartridge exclusive and think i'm nuts... so that would render me taking the pink Weishi useless..

    Hope I didn't offend any one. The ladies in my life get the utmost respect.
