That is a nice idea, with the post card thing. Perhaps it will catch on. I figure if we get a Canadian run together, we might figure a way to split some costs for the inbound and outbound trip. I have not heard from any interested parties as of yet.
All Packed Up! Happy Saturday From Florida! The box is all packed up and ready to go. It is in a medium flat rate box. I tried a large, but it was too much box. Depending on how much is taken out versus how much is put in, we will need to switch to a large box at some point. The cut off for getting on the list is tomorrow at noon. Here is what we are starting with: (all items harvested from the Stingraysrock and BabyGirl Den): Soaps Susies Bubbles Root Beer Susies Bubbles Aramis Life M type Lightfoot's Pine Honey Bee Spa Brut Type Nana June's Spearmint & Eucalyptus Colgate Cup Soap Monsavon Bol A' Rasor Bea Shave Stick Creams TSD Polynesian Red JM Frasier Mosswood Sample Phyto Expert Dalan D'Men Lea Menthol Cedar W/Tube Key Brushes Shea Moisture Shave AKA the Dridecker No-Name Rainbow Wood Boar Blades 45 Super-Max Platinum 45 Voskhod 12 Gillette Super Thin 5 Gillette Rubie 10 Dorco ST-300 10 Dorco ST-301 ??? Wally Wilkinson Sword 10? Ted Pella Injector Razors The Rattler Straight W/Box Gem Featherweight SE Clix 3-Piece W/Box Valet Auto Strop W/Box & Blades Pink Weishi W/Box Aftershaves M&L Kanaga Water Nivea Cooling ASB BOD Black Spray Ogallallah bay Rum Sample Booster Polar Ice Sample Booster Oriental Spice Sample Booster Aquarius Sample Alcolado Glacial Sample (All Liquids Have Taped Caps And Are Bagged) MISC 2 Sally's Tube Keys
Dumb Question Actually two dumb questions. 1. How does this work? Do we take something out and put something in? Or just sample what we want to, add something and pass it on? (I get the add something part) 2. Where did all of this come from? Sweet stuff! Jeff, thanks again for organizing this, I look forward to getting my grubby hands on it, whatever I'm supposed to do with it.
As I understand it, you take what you want out and put what you want in. And since he's starting the box, I think everything in it right now comes from Jeff's den. Looks good Jeff! And again, thanks for spearheading this!
Yeppers, all of this stuff is out of the den here. When you get the box, take what you want out of it, and put something in it. Make sure you post a photo of the box when you get it and list what you take out and what you put in. Photos of what you are putting in would be cool. Also, if you feel like it, put a local post card in the box.
Thanks, I get it. Jeff, that's very generous of you to donate a chunk of your den for this. :whacky084
This looks great! Hopefully at least one of the Voshkod containers makes it this far. I'd love to try a blade. Thanks so much for your work in setting this up!
I will drop you a few in the mail on Tuesday when I drop the box of seeing how the PO is closed tomorrow for Prez Day. I meant to send you some with your razor the other day, but now it appears I forgot to do that.
Okay here is the final list for the first round: dashmaverick. (MD) Ocharlas. (NY) Kiltedshaver. (TN) Iamthejody. (MS) JoeMal. (IL) AnB_Daddy. (IL) Dslazar9. (IL) Hank. (IA) Freebird. (OK) Xezmer. (TX) Billr. (WA) excalibur5. (AK) The box ships Tuesday!
Folks, Thank you all for your patience with me in the last couple of months. My apologies for not being around much and for being unable to take care of my responsibilities on TSD. Unfortunately, life has thrown a few new things into my path that have distracted me and kept my attention away from the Grab Bag. I am glad to see that Jeff has started it up again. I will be contacting him to figure out how I can get the old box back into circulation once again. My sincerest apologies for the troubles.
Seems somebody's been nipping at the vinegar bottle today! Good, I like to see that. :sihns011 Hope things get sorted out for you Dom.
UPDATE Okay Ya'll - Dom is back! He is sending me the original Grab Bag to combine with GB-2011. This means that the combined bag will be in a large flat rate box, with MUCH more stuff to choose from than what I have already listed. So, I am going hold off on sending GB-2011 until the original gets here, and also extending the enrollment period to Friday, March 4th. I anticipate shipping the box on Saturday, March 5th. More pictures and contents list to follow.
