    The box is moving along very nicely, that is great news. I hope everyone is having fun too.

    If you guys think that removing the some of the imposter frags, I would have no problem with that. As long as they were donated to the Vets home or ?

    What is everyone's thoughts? Sorry I had not respond to it earlier, been on the mend since for surgery.

    I think any place that would appreciate a donation of this kind could serve the box well. Its nice to think that the box don't just serve us shavers but other people that are in need as well.

    Did the box make it to the next guy? @Shotwell ? I think making a donation to help free up some space is a great idea.

    Just a short time ago I checked the tracking number and just today it was left at/on his front porch! I cannot believe that Priority took this long and the ETA was supposed to be Monday!

    Argh - figures. Didn't expect it to hit me this week. I am on vacation so will have my in-laws pick it up today. Won't go back out until next week.

    I will remove some of the off-brand/impostor fragrances and make a donation as suggested.

    Shotwell, agreed to remove some of the frags to open up some space. Hope the newer ones have had fun with the box.

    It arrived safely and was brought in off the porch by a family member who was watching the house in my absence!

    Because of the delay on my part, I am planning a quick turnaround for tomorrow.

    I removed (for donation to a senior center nearby):

    - All the "impostor" fragrances and the Pinaud Clubman.

    I took for myself (in whole or in part):
    [​IMG]

    - Palmolive stick
    - Lucky Tiger shave cream
    - wooden bowl
    - a Maggard (?) head
    - one handle for a GEM
    - a small sampling of blades
    - the little packet of menthol crystals

    I added:

    [​IMG]

    + Strop Shoppe Russian Tea soap
    + B&M Cheshire sample
    + Histoires de Parfum 1969 cologne
    + Krampert's Finest Acadian Bay Rum
    + RazoRock Boston Tea Party soap (now sold out!)
    + VDH boar brush
    + C. O. Bigelow Oil-free face gel
    + a sample of M&L Florida Water!
    + the second prototype batch of "Shotwell's Superior Beard Balm" - an all-natural creation of mine to help control that wild thatch of facial hair you may be growing. Would LOVE to get honest feedback on this!!

    May fit something else in the box yet... Hardware? Software? Not sure.

    It may go back in the box, then :)

    @Shotwell - Someone must have sent you a second box or something as some of the items you kept weren't in the box when I sent it to you like the two heads and the menthol crystals!

    LOL...I'm pretty sure there is only one box filled with over 15 lbs of shaving gear. I remember putting in those heads on my last turn.

    Yeah, and I put the menthol crystals on my last turn.

    Apparently this box originated and ended in Fort Smith so I do have some TSD members in my back yard. This explains why the antique store owners laugh like they have heard my requests before.

    Wow, one of you really liked Drakkar Noir!

    No, they liked something just like Drakkar Noir. ;)

    Pre-shipping update: I'm leaving the Stirling Scots Pine soap. I tried it tonight and it just didn't agree with me, scent-wise.

    Still TBD on what hardware I may add... Maybe I'll let it be a surprise.
