The box has made it's full rotation and is back in my living room. It's going to take a short vacation and it there is any interest we'll start another round maybe before the end of May.
The last one was fun and I might be interested, but we've got May-July scheduled up the (creek), so rather problematic. I'll wait to see how this develops.
I pulled everything from the box and tossed the cardboard. The wood, since it was saturated with AS and etc, I'm painting them white to block the scent. I pulled the Star razor head due that it got damaged in transit (threaded shaft snapped off). I also pulled two leaky bottles of AS (off brand SB) and Ginger Garden Fougere Fern (may try to get a better cap for it). My takes so far ...... Can of Barbasol ..... I ran out the day the box arrived Leather and brass key chain for my second set of work keys Chatillon Lux Champs de Lavande AS Lucky Witch Hazel Assorted tucks of blades BurmaShave mug Vintage puck of Williams Shaving soap Skin Bracer AS I'll list my donations to the box for the next round.
Glad you got a puck of vintage Williams. I put two in when I had the box but wasn't sure if either would make it to the end of the line.
I seriously thought of taking 1 of them as I have never tried the vintage but decided to leave them... Is it much different from the modern ?
The older formula has tallow. Hard water at my house so the old stuff lathers like a champ for me. I’ve tried the new stuff but there’s no comparison.
I figured out a way to seal the Ginger Garden Fougere Fern by removing the cap and laying a sandwich bag over the opening and replacing the cap. It makes a nice little seal; it wanted to keep leaking through the flip spout. If it was a scent I enjoyed I would have kept it, but it’s not for me.
You can put me at the top of the Roster. Lol Leave plenty of room in the Box. As I have a Ton of Goodie’s already Picked Out. "Why is it I always get my best ideas while shaving?" ~ Albert Einstein
I'll be posting the sign up for new traveling box for 2022 in the next few days, so keep an eye out for it. It'll have few minor changes in the rules / expectations of the participants ......... mostly courtesy and etiquette. Aiming for it to start at the tail end of the month May. In case you miss it I'll post a link to it here.
By the way I noticed I literally have multiple boxes and containers of brushes to be restored. If you have a request for a non-restored or restored (probably synthetic), let me know. Sorry no aluminum Rubbersets, but feel free to PM me with size color or style you're interested in.
