Grab bag

Just wanted to let you know that I have sent the packages w/ delivery confirmation.

 

Mine arrived Saturday. I'm planning on getting together with Freebird next weekend so we can go through it together and send it out at once. If it doesn't work out, I'll mail it the Monday following. Pictures to follow later this week!

Hi. Any chance I could get in on the Great Grab Bag experiment?

Thanks

Lee & I finally got together this afternoon and went through the box.
Below is what I took, unfortunately I neglected to photograph what I put in, but can give a list of my contribution. I put in:2 straight razors, 2 boxes of persona double edge blades, 1 box of hair shaper blades, 2 styptic pencils, 1 tsd coffee scented shave soap,and several samples of Ogallala Bay Rum a/s. I tried to keep what I put in as close to what I took out as possible. I had hoped to make it into Tulsa to pick up an alum block to include, but things just didn't work out as I had planned.

What I took is pictured below:

1 straight razor, 1 double edge safety razor, 2 samples of shaving cream (one was from Don which he marked as being his favorite), a couple of tubes of shaving cream a tin of soap, and a brush by the Body Works, and a puck of MWF- a gift from Lee.

 

Sure. Sending you a PM now.

One from Dom? Which one was it? I do hope you enjoy it. That PdP is good stuff, too!

 

ToBS, Rose s/c. I've been dying to try some of the new stuff out, but Sunday morning,( Lee & I got together on Saturday) , our hot water heater went out, and my shave den is in shambles atm.:sad029

 

Any updates on the boxes?

 

Thanks!

 

I mailed mine out to djwurm on the 30th. There's a tracking number, but I tossed it out. I thought it would also appear on the insurance receipt, which I kept

 

ToBS Rose is fantastic. Definitely one of my favorite creams. I do hope you enjoy it.

Has it showed up yet, djwurm?

 

Arrived yesterday. Will look at it tonight when I get home from work. Will mail it out Monday...

I think I need the address of the next person on the list.

 

Just sent you a PM, I believe I'm next.

 

I did not get your PM.. maybe something is wrong with the PM system...

Not to complain but:....

1. Box seems to have a lot of stuff that is unlabeled.. I have no idea what it is then how do I know if it is shave cream or a balm or what? Plus how do I know what scent it is? What if im allergic to certain scents? Plus if I do like something then I cant buy more! I think anything in this box has to be labeled, just my 2 cents..

2. Box seems to have a lot of items that were in it last time. Nothing really new that I am interested in.

I only took out a straight razor that needs some work and putt in a new Truefitt and Hill Ultimate Shave soap puck. So I will just send it on its way when I do get an address.

Please take me off the list for the next round.

Thanks
Chris

 

I've been having weird computer problems.

I sent the message again.

 

Hey everyone, I got the box from Joanna. I was out of town this weekend and had a nice suprise as I pulled up to the house. the Superbowl was on, so I have not opened it yet. I was suprised at how heavy the box was - love flat rate shipping.

 

Out of curiosity, have there been any updates to the lists?

I am/was the last on the list for one of the boxes (will be shooting my shipping info to otherstar). Should I send the box to the first person on the list I was on, or send it to the first person on the other list (I kind of like that idea - but it could mean two boxes end up backed up at one location in the future)?

On one hand - the boxes stay separated, but with only 5 or so members on a box, the contents won't refresh much and we already lost a person from one list due to that.
On the other hand - with two boxes making their way through the list (even though they are starting out separated, they could end up stuck in the same spot) you could get two boxes almost at once.

 

We've had a lot of people dropping out of this lately.

I'm thinking it might be a good idea to turn it all into one box again. What are peoples' thoughts on this?
