Quick update....waiting on an address for @jgreenepa

Sent him a PM requesting address on 3/19 about noon CST (easily verifiable via the mods, or I can screenshot and attach). Hadn't heard back, and looks like he hasn't checked in on TSD since possibly an hour before I sent that message.

My (and my daughter) takes will be much in line with what I outlined. I think she's eyeing a synthetic brush also. Additions still pending.....definitely some software (soaps, aftershaves & colognes, samples, etc.), possibly a brush or two.

No need to verify @b1hart ..... you haven't had the box long at all and with thing that are going on in life, there's no rush. Enjoy you time with your family and the box and stay healthy.

God bless!

With everything happening in the world I am sure @jgreenepa is somewhat distracted. I think we should ping him a couple more times and give him a couple days to respond, and if he doesn't respond move him further down the list. @Enrico is correct, there is no rush.

My point in posting was to start/echo the two points above, just to let everyone know I've reached out. Since I'm the current caretaker of 'Da Box', I'll let everyone else make the decision. I'll move it along when given direction.

Ack! I step away from TSD for a bit and come back to find I've been conscripted... But I'm back and if the duty falls to me, I will step up. The Box has it's ups and downs but after catching up on current events I see the spirit is still there. Lots of great gear moving in and out, folks sharing their takes with family and friends, and those freshly replated pieces? Gorgeous!

No hurries, no worries. Sometimes Real Life takes precedent over hobbies. While you have The Box, try everything that interests you. If the next person (@jgreenepa) doesn't respond when it's convent for you to ship the you can work the shipping data for the Participant (@kjbarth) after him. We'll just shuffle the list of names to reflect the changes.

Just so long as he doesn't say in the video "I don't like this chicken" like the kid doing the Williams video and saying halfway through the shave " I really don't like this soap".

@jgreenepa did respond to me via direct message. He said skip him as 2 weeks from now should be better. Is it okay to swap Jeff with the next name on the list?

You are Da Man Evan, thanks for making contact.

It is okay to skip, we will redirect as necessary.

Feel better @jgreenepa

Just a note....happy to participate in another round of the Traveling Box down the line. If my daughter or I discontinue using any of our takes, we'll gladly add them back to the box!

Sounds good to me

Nothing wrong with catch and release its part of the way of the box.

I'll get to sanitize an area in my basement to accept the BOX

17 pounds of shaving goodness boxed & on it's way to @kjbarth

I had to also remove 2 more items....Geo F. Trumper Eucris SC tube, red fingernail polish.

Will send tracking info via PM.

I thoroughly rewrapped all items, and then triple taped the box ENTIRELY. It'll probably need to be replaced very soon.

I want to see a photo of you with red fingernails

Or toenails ....... ......................
