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?
Heard back directly from my message to Jeff this morning. I'll be sending the 'Da Box' possibly tomorrow or definitely Tuesday to @kjbarth (he has PM'd his address). If no one has any problems with this....here are my & my daughter's takes: Kent synthetic brush ER100 synthetic brush Gillette OT White handled (not marked) w/Synbad knot (daughter) Godrej Lime SC (daughter) Lady Gillette (daughter) Schick Eversharp (daughter) Adds (hopefully make it all fit): OneBlade Core Razor & Blades OneBlade Synthetic Brush Central Texas Soaps - Barbershop SS & AS The Blades Grimm - SS, PS, AS (never used) Stirling Blood on Steel - SC & AS (2019 30dc edition) Various trial sizes of AS & ASBs (Fine, ToBS, Chatillon Lux, etc.) 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!
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.
