Alright. Box is in! I spent 2 hours shuffling through this bad boy. I have a lab write up, health test, math assignment, and a computer science AP test this tuesday and I should've waiting, but this was too exciting. Here's the box after the shuffle, before the goodies were added: Here's the stuff I took (half used/vintage items: -Tabac -30% Erasmic soap -TSD Cherry Cheesecake SS -50% TBS Shave cream -SRP Tobacco ASC/B -RSC Shave cream -Skin Bracer Cooling Blue -Vintage Williams -NB Shave cream sample -Masters Challenge AS sample -Grandma's lye soap factory bar soap -TGQ Black Cavendish -TOBS Alum -1x gillette blade box -Assortment of new and vintage blades (those are Rapiras and Derbys over to the right in the picture) Here's the stuff I put in (mostly new, some used, some vintage): -2 Leather generic eBay strop -Nivea CoQ10 ASB -TOBS Sandalwood SS in wooden bowl -DR Harris Marlborough SS -SCS Coconut Oil SC -Turkish shower soap -Shave secret shave oil -6x Arko Shave stick -2x Gillette green Super Stainless blades (10 total) -6x Vidyut super stainless blades (30 total) -20x Derby Extra blades (100 total) -4x Perma sharp blades (20 total) -Sheffield disposable DE -Pacific natural shave cream -HBS green tea, yuzu, springs -4x vintage brush handles -Caswell massey green briar SS -Stone cottage soapworks inc, Moroccan musk -Yardley english lavender, oatmeal & almond bar soap -Old Spice Toilet water, female perfume (can be used for men) -12k Chinese Waterstone, for finishing, with slurry stone -Khiehl's shaving cream, brushless My brother wanted to join in. He was the one who dropped the Khiehl's and SCS coconut oil SC above. He took this gillette disposable razor in place. He opened it before I got a chance to throw it in the picture... here's the closest picture I can find (he took the black 7o'clock one):
Sweet! Let me know what you think about the Nancy Boy SC. I put that in there. It's one of my favs but people tend to shy away from it because of the name. If only they knew what they were missing...
Definitely will Jody. I actually got a tub in a trade that I sold off before I tried it... then the master barber I met at T&H in vegas told me it was definitely something to try.. I felt silly, so I grabbed yours. That thing was a menace to pack.. i've never had my thinking cap on so tightly. I'll have a shipping label printed tomorrow and i'll drop it off Monday so it can get to bill. Edit: I just realized, while packing, I forgot to put in my Palmolive-cella mix (as pictured in the bottom right of my "put in" picture). It's too big to even bother trying to fit in so i'll forget it. If someone wants it, they can PM me with a few bucks for shipping and I can have it their way. It's not much to drool over, but it's an interesting tallow mix.
Schweet! This round of the Grab Bag is really running great! Thanks Everyone! Go Box Go Box Go Go Go!
I was in on the last several rotations of the old box and chose to sit out of it for this rotation. Big mistake. I certainly miss the anticipation of waiting on the box to arrive. So I guess I will watch vicariously through the rest of you and maybe see if I can get back on the rotation next go around. Enjoy the thrill of the box!
It has been fun watching the box go around. The box is moving at a pretty good clip too. As soon as it gets back to Florida we will kick off another round for sure. Go box go!
Well - according to the tracking information the box is out for delivery - but I did not get it. Our post office is known for fibbing on things like this. Probably get it tomorrow.
