    The box arrived today and the contents were all fine. Man, there's a LOT of stuff in there. I will make my selections and get it back in the mail on Wednesday. I'm going to have to get a new box because there was a hole in the side of this one, hence the delay.

    I've made my selections, but I won't get the box in the mail until Wednesday because I have to replace the box.

    Here is what I'm leaving:
    Leaving 6-18-2012.JPG
    Pacific All Natural Shave Cream
    TSD Cool Water Type Shave Soap
    Gillette Gold Ball End Tech 3-piece razor

    Here is what I'm taking:

    Goodrej Menthol Mist Shaving Cream
    Unknow Sample of Shave Cream (I think it's either an almond or a sandalwood)
    5/8 Union Cultery Wedge

    I'll post the confirmation number once I get the box in the mail.

    I hope you enjoy the Goodrej! I liked it, but after my trials and tribulations, I come to the realization I'm a soap man.

    I haven't tried it yet. I prefer soaps, but I have some creams...and I love menthol so I'm looking forward to trying it out!

    Now in Houston. Heck, I could just take a short 10-hour drive down there and pick it up. :transport016:

    Only 10 hours? I think the quickest I've ever made the trip is 11.5 hours (accounting for Houston traffic). LOL

    I've made my selections and additions and will post pics later. I have to work all afternoon, so won't have a chance to ship today. So, Monday it is!

    Sorry for the delay. It was a crazy work weekend here!

    Here are three shots of the box & its contents when it arrived:

    Opening this was almost like opening one of those snake-in-a-can jokes! And here are my selections:

    DSC_0113.JPG DSC_0114.JPG

    A bottle of Wild Country, a really neat gold travel injector with the name, "E. Allen Creavey" engraved on it and a Fossil pouch (I think it's meant for watches, but looks to be perfect for razors!). I felt a little guilty taking two nicer items, so I raided my classic stash of blades, etc... and am including the following:

    DSC_0115.JPG
    Two packs of Gillette Super Platinums, one pack of Gillette Bleue Extras, one pack of Iridium Supers, one sample size of TSD Almond Aftershave Milk (whoever takes this, be careful, it's double-mentholated!!!), a travel packet of Wilkinson shave cream and Palmolive Shave Stick.

    Yeah, it's for taking watches with you when you travel. Which I think is a stupid idea, but the (real) leather case holds a razor on one side and a pack of blades on the other, plus it has room for a small brush, and two 1 oz travel jars of shave cream . If you check my post/pictures when I loaded the box I tried to demonstrate how it works. I had four of those cases. One I kept, 2 I gave to friends and 1 went in the travel box. Don't freak out over the price tag, that's not what I paid for it. Enjoy!:D If I ever design a case for taking a small shave kit with me, this would be it.

    Not to jinx it or anything, but this is the fastest the box has ever traveled.
