Another cool thing about the Barbershop stuff is the boxes both have a copyright date of 1976. So the soap and the brush are a birthyear set for me. Now I have 2 birthyear soaps (Barbershop and Williams). I will only use them around the week of my birthday (which is the end of this month).
Close to mine - May birthday, also '76
I received mine today! The sender did an awesome job! I wonder how they knew about my love of cooking?

Nice Box man, I'm jealous you got some MANDOM. But seriously, did you need another watch?
Thin crispy wafers, stuffed with peanut buttery goodness, covered in thin delectable chocolate! Yum-my!

Yes.
My PIF box of awesomeness also came in today:
It contained:
-Dickenson's Witch Hazel (never tried it, have always used the generic)
-Two 10 packs of Wilkinson Sword Trac II blades (my sender obviously did some research on me, knowing that the Trac II has been my preferred razor of late).
-A sweet looking watch
-A pack of Derby Blades
-Some Alum (which I have also never tried)
-Some Anthony Logistics Samples.
-A puck of Non-Vintage Williams Mug Soap
-Two very very nice kitchen knives.
Oh wait, that puck of Williams isn't your run of the mill Williams Mug Soap, it's a "Michiganlover's Special Edition!!"
(this was a super cool, and very unique touch!! I love it!!
)

Woah! I was going to send this to my receiver too!
Looks like such a good book, and the blog is largely responsible for my being here at all!
(on B&B. Not, y'know...earth)
Got home from work today to a package waiting for me! Didn't get the one I was expecting, but got an even better one! Waiting for the camera battery to charge right now so I can post some pics. Great box! You really did some research!
Alright got it charged up enough for a couple pics!
In the box was some Mama Bear's Caribbean soap, Trumper's Extract of Limes AS, Ogallala Limes and Peppercorn shave stick, Pinuad Lime Sec, some SPF 30 sun block, a wooden lather bowl, and sand. Lots and lots of sand. All over my apartment now sand. LOVE IT! Obviously someone found my thread about my Caribbean vacation coming up! All stocked up for it now! Oh yeah, and the S.O.S note. Simply amazing and creative box! Thank you! Can't wait to get mine sent out.
EDIT: Can't wait to shave today to get a preview of what my vacation will be like!

This has been funner and better than I ever imagined. You guys don't know how cool this is for me and how exciting it is.
Thank you for sending my gift!! Not sure how you got my address, but I really appreciate it. Awesome. Though, you didn't have to do that, I really do like it a lot.

Yes, they make several lime colognes. I have Old Spice lime myself. Lime colognes are good stuff. You should try some.

What a fantastic experience! I love how we snooped around in each others posts to see what to get each other. The Simpsons brush is something Ive craved for some time now. Other things that were on my list were some Tabac, Arko, and an Old Spice mug and cream. Im not sure Ive ever talked about those so my sender must by psychic! Also, a winding watch?! Amazing! Theres no way that couldve been coincidence - it too was something Ive had my eye on.
It's an overwhelming amount of stuff! It's like having a Big Box without the putting/taking, lol. Thank you sender, this was truly great. Also thanks to Rick and B&B!
