    That hairbrush on the right looks similar to a Kent brush. Is it? I have one just like it, from Kent.

    Unless Cliff has reached out to you, carry on to @mrchick ..... we can always slip him back in when he surfaces. It's summer time and people get busy. I myself just got back from north of Toronto Canada.

    If I may, I'd like to request a hold on the New Forest brush for myself.

    The box just arrived and it is very wet inside. At least two things leaked and everything is soaked.

    The tip to open cap on the TSD bottle tipped open and the plastic bag did not contain the contents. The Weekend bottle broke and bag leaked badly and there is white cream on everything. There is an empty blue Avon bottle in here that I’m not sure was empty or not when it left.
    Some of the cardboard boxes are destroyed, but the contents are OK. I’m gonna clean everything and re-bag it and make my choices. I probably won’t get to this until Saturday morning. I should be able to get this back in the mail on Monday after posting what I add to it.

    I'm very sorry, I thought I had everything set and stable. Was anything actually damaged?

    I'll be honest ...... I laugh when I read this. Not that I wish it on anyone, but it's happened to me on more than one occasion and what can I say, misery loves company. This said USPS is rough on packages and glass needs all the protection it can get. Obviously get a new box from the post office, try to re-use the liner boards. It's too bad I was curios about the Weekend aftershave soother. This is only from experience, but some of Avon's glassware is very thin.

    BTW I've had to use the dump method on a sheet on the dining room table to catch all glass from shaving bowls and the glass items ..... no fun, but it happens

    Take your time with the box and try to enjoy it.

    The Weekend bottle was quite thick, it would have knocked you out if you got hit in the head with it so somebody really roughed up the box. Still, my fault.

    Yes, it was thick and missing a bottom corner. It’s no big deal. I figured out what the blue bottle was when I found a broken cap shaped like a razor. Other than that, most will clean up ok. I’m not bothered at all guys. There is an awful lot that we are shoving in this box. I’ll try and take a couple larger things and add some good smaller stuff. It will all work out.

    Since @cliffb599 appears to be still MIA, I’ll be sending this along to @Frijolero

    @Frijolero please PM me your shipping address.

    I’ll post my takes and adds a little later.

    I finished cleaning things up on Saturday. We had a few fatalities. The Weekend bottle and the TSD leaked their contents and the razor shaped cap for the blue Avon bottle was broken.

    It’s good to know TSD products can be used as a solvent The label was washed off by whatever leaked out.

    I decided to keep the following:

    Believe it or not, I do not have a half blade razor, so I decided to try this one on the weekend and got a great shave. It’s a little aggressive, but I like aggressive.

    I found an empty Schick Injector box in the traveling box, which gave me an idea for a contribution.

    The following are my adds:

    The Injector and a new pack of blades, an Old Spice mug with a new synthetic brush, and a very nice Slim Adjustable.

    When I repacked the box on Saturday, it was a tight fight, so I held back the tube of Proraso.

    The box will ship as soon as I hear back from @Frijolero
