    Right on! If there is some Penhaligon's left in the box when it comes back home, that would be super cool!

    a sharp knife should do the trick

    RyX DoH!

    Check with Family Dollar & Dollar General type stores, or maybe Hobby Lobby for small empty containers. I found these at Dollar Tree and got samples from the Soap Pass-around from a couple years ago.

    I would be interested in the soaps you named. Water here is high in dissolved inert silicates, but low in minerals and iron.

    If it's still there on my turn, remind me. I'll sample and send the tub on to you.

    I would like to try them. I would take a sample and leave the tub.

    Back to work Monday after a busy week last week and a busy weekend.
    This week is busy too but I wanted to give a quick update.

    I've done an inventory of the box and made a few tentative selections plus I've tried a couple of things.
    I'm organizing my additions and hope to get it in the mail mid to late week.

    Any recollection of the name of that aftershave you sent me? I'm using it tomorrow.

    RyX DoH!

    Looking froward to your choices. You have a good eye for interesting products. The kind of software I like!

    No. I sent out too many prizes to remember each one.
    I put a small piece of paper inside your box that listed the extra goodies I included with your prize.

    Well, here's where I'm at for the moment.

    Things I'm taking out:

    001.JPG

    There were lots of brushes so three boar brushes; VDH, Omega, and a very nice homemade
    Two pucks of new Williams - not because I want it but to make room for vintage Williams
    Vintage Wilkinson and Lucky Boy blades, new Treet and Gillette Super Thin blades
    Arko cream and vintage Williams cream
    First Canadian shave soap - very nice stuff
    Avon pipe with Wild Country - not because I want it but to make room in the box
    If one of you really wants the Avon, PM me your address and I'll send it to you separately.

    I wanted to take out the Weishi bronze colored TTO DE and the Bulldog clone DE but I couldn't make them work. Both are very aesthetically pleasing and both felt good in my hand but my face didn't like the Bulldog and the Weishi won't stay screwed shut. Every couple of strokes I had to retighten the handle. Maybe someone knows how to fix that.

    Okay, now for what I'd like to put in (if there's enough room)

    002.JPG

    An Old Spice mug
    Stirling Barbershop A/S balm
    vintage Williams
    GFT Eucris, Limes, and Rose soaps
    T&H Sandalwood soap
    Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet soap
    Pre de Provence soap
    Soap Commander Love soap sample, LASS Topanga Fougere soap sample, Gingers Garden Havana Cognac soap sample, Mondial Bergamotto Neroli cream sample, T&H Rose cream sample
    vintage Old Spice A/S sample, Brut Dominant A/S (discontinued) sample, Royall Lime A/S sample, D R Harris Marlborough A/S sample, Alpa Windsor A/S sample
    A GEM Junior, A Schick J model, and a mid 40's Gillette Aristocrat
    and a few various tucks of blades

    I'll see what I can stuff in the box and hopefully get it out Saturday at the latest. Things are kind of busy this week with Easter coming up, etc.

    @John Beeman lots of good stuff there for sure! I hope I can get a taste of the Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet soap if it is still there when the box comes back home!

    Not quite last, but I’m sure there will be still lots of great things in the box.
