Getting the B&B Fragrance Train Rollin' Updated post # 378

[Scotto]

This is your conductor speaking....:tongue:

The purpose of this swapbox is to provide an opportunity for folks to try colognes and aftershaves that they might not normally get a chance to try, by relying on the largesse of the wetshaving community

Several of the mods will be adding samples to the box from their private stashes. I'll provide the empty vials and the box will make its initial rounds this way to get fully stocked. This is the priming phase.

Once the box is "primed", I will publish a list of what is in the box, and put out a call for who wants it next. I will conduct a lottery, and the winner will have the box shipped to them. They take samples out - three can be taken for "free", and any more have to be swapped for something from their stash. Of course, other additions out of kindness are appreciated as well. There will be empty vials in the box to facilitate this.

The person with the box then posts the new inventory and the process begins again. It runs until no one else wants it, and then it returns to me.

This way those who just want to try stuff but don't have samples to contrbute can grab some without obligation (except for the nominal fee), and since the inventory is published beforehand, there is no question about getting the box and beng disappointed in the contents.

We will also keep part of the inventory a "surprise" so there is some fun involved besides knowing all the contents beforehand.

Since I put up the funds to buy the materials, if you get the box I will ask for a donation of $1-$2 to help defray the costs. I think this is a very nominal fee to try out some cool fragrances.

I would also like to hear from anyone who has a lot of colognes/aftershaves who would like to participate in the "priming" phase. The more samples we can start out with, the more fun it is.

I will try and start filling samples this week, and get the box moving along. I will post progress on this thread as it progresses. Feel free to add commentary or suggestions to make this a valuable exercise.

[obsessis]

I have nothing to add but would like to receive the box to see what everything smells like.

i will obviously not take anything since i am not adding anything, except maybe atkinsons lavender water.

i have absolutely no problem giving you some cash for the cost of materials. what is the paypal address?

[Scotto]

Joseph - hold on there, pardner. We are still filling the box, and that will take some time. As for taking stuff - that is what it is for!

[Scotto]

Here is what the box contains so far:

Dammit, Scotto - you stole my thunder with lots of those scents! :mad3:

If you want to receive this box, subject to the rules listed at the beginning of this thread, please PM me by the end of the day on Tuesday. Once I get the list of names, I will choose someone at random. After that person removes some stuff, we will continue onward again until it is depleted. If you get the box, I will accept donations to help defray the costs of the sample vials.

This is a great opportunity to try out fragrances - please take advantage!

[Austin]

Scotto, I have quite a few samples that I will gladly donate to the cause. Tell me where to send them.

[Scotto]

Thanks - I think we are good for the moment. Let's hold off on more samples until needed. I'll bug you as time goes on and we need refills.

[Scotto]

Remember, tonight is the deadline to PM me for the first round.

[Scotto]

Ok, based on a random number generated by random.org, the box is going to head to.... SurfFisherman! Let us know when you get it!

The others who PMed me will get another chance after Chris pokes through the box and grabs a few things.

[SurfFisherman]

Scotto-

Woo-Hoo! :jump:

I am both excited and honored to be the first stop on the inaugural voyage of the B&B Fragrance Train and I will be sure to post and let everyone know as soon as I have received the package and I'm "on board".

I'm particularly looking forward to trying: C&E Sandalwood, D.R. Harris Arlington, L'Occitane Thé Vert, Taylor Mr. Taylor and Shaving Shop, and Woods of Windsor.

Thanks for setting this up, Scotto!

[SSLStudio]

Ahhh I just missed this train, stumbled onto the thread toooooo laaaaaate :mad:

A genious Idea I gotta hand it to Scotto ! s(h)aves me buying a lot of a/s this way you can directly hunt for what you like from the samples Box.

like it, can European people join the train aswell ? :thumbup1:

[SurfFisherman]

Hey Fellas-

Well, this evening I got the opportunity to cash in my winning lottery ticket and hop on board the B&B Fragrance Train.

Woo-Hoo!

First things first, Scotto, please take a bow. This was a brilliant idea and you did an outstanding job putting the box together.

When I opened the package I couldn't believe what I saw inside... Forty-two individually bagged vials of odoriferous splendor. Yes, I said forty-two different samples of some of the most intoxicating fragrances in the world! In addition, Scotto included everything needed to create additional samples: Empty vials, empty Ziploc bags, a marker for labeling the bags, an eyedropper and even latex gloves.

As I started pouring through the mountain of Ziplocs and reading the names of the fragrances contained within, I began to get more and more excited the deeper I went. I can't think of too many places (New York City or elsewhere) where someone could have the opportunity to audition so many different high quality fragrances from so many different houses all at once. It is truly an amazing collection!

Okay, I'm not going to review all forty-two scents (Sorry!), but I will comment on the five I selected.

- Taylor's St. James: A really nice blend of citrus, herbs and woods. I believe this is what is known as a "fougere". Overall, a very clean scent. A little different, but very easy for anyone to wear.

- Taylor's Mr. Taylor: Another splendid blend of citrus, herbs and wood, however much warmer and spicier than St. James. My girlfriend really liked this one. I think it's a classic scent.

- D.R. Harris' Arlington: A subtle blend of citrus and fern. Very light, but delicious! I immediately placed Arlington on my fragrance wish list. Being citrus-based, I think it might be a bit short-lived.

- L'Occitane's Vetyver: I happen to like the scent of Vetiver, while I know some others do not. This a stong mix of woods and herbs. Very masculine and sophisticated. Not for everyone.

- Art of Shaving's Sandalwood: Another powerful fragrance. This is what I think pure Sandalwood smells like. (But, I could be wrong!) Again, this is unmistakably masculine, although a bit warmer than the Vetyver.

Truth be told, I would have liked to have taken another ten samples, but I don't have that many fragrances in my collection to substitute! For my part, I will include: Floris' No. 89, Penhaligon's English Fern, Trumper's West Indian Extract of Limes and Acqua di Parma's Blu Mediterraneo Mandorlo di Sicilia. (The last an absolute MUST for all you almond lovers!)

This is by far my longest post ever, so I will end it now, but not before advising that anyone who doesn't sign up for a seat on the B&B Fragrance Train is making a mistake. It is an experience! Get on board!

:badger:

[htownmmm]

Scotto,


I was wondering if I could jump aboard on the next stop or could u fill me in on what happened to the train and if u will b sending another around?




Marty

[Scotto]

Marty, I added your name to the list. The box is going to keep making the rounds until no one else wants it. I am going to pick another name from the hat tonite, so stay tuned.

Surf - glad you liked it!

[Scotto]

OK, folks. Here are people's names I have who wanted in:

vontech
KUJO
luvgravy
htownmmm

Please check the new inventory list below and make sure you still want to be included in the drawing. I will draw another name from the hat tonite.

We seem to have underestimated the amount of fragrances we would have, so we are low on the empty vials. From here on in, it may be a "remove only" box.

Deep dark depression, excessive misery for me- but congrats to KUJO!

I'll be drawing a name tomorrow evening.

[woodbane]

Scotto, I've PM'd you to get in on this if I still can.

The gentleman on this forum never cease to amaze me, what will you guys think of next!!!???:001_smile

[Scotto]

This morning's random lottery generated Rasiermesserfan's name as the next recipient! Please PM me your address and we'll have Kujo get it out to you.

[Scotto]

Well, no sign of Rasiermesserfan, so I can only assume that he doesn't want the box.

Another random drawing produced Woodbane's name. I'll ask Kujo to send the box out to the lucky winner. Andy, drop me a PM indicating if you want it shipped to the same address I have already.

[woodbane]

(Done in my best Austin Powers/Mike Myers voice)

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH BABY!! GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVY! Now I get to smell like a 'ho's handbag.:lol:

Sweeeeeeet, I can't believe I was lucky enough to get drawn as the lucky guy. PM sent to you Scotto.

[rasiermesserfan]

Well, no sign of Rasiermesserfan, so I can only assume that he doesn't want the box.

Well, yes, I did want the box. Unfortunately I was away on a business trip. I've PM'd my address to you.

[Scotto]

Sorry about that. Tell you what - after Andy is done with it, it is yours assuming you still want to receive it.

[woodbane]

If the box hasn't already departed we could always switch order and rasiermesserfan could receive the box first.

[KUJO]

Tell me within the next hour please

[rasiermesserfan]

Don't worry about it woodbane, you can have it first. You were so excited to get it, I'd hate for you to miss out. Just send it to me after you're done with it. Thanks for offering to switch.

[woodbane]

...Thanks for offering to switch.

The art of being a gentleman isn't dead yet......:cool:

[SSLStudio]

Woodbane,,, your avatar is just HILARIOUS....wanted to tell you that..it cracks me up every time I see that face :biggrin:

Im having a HILARIOUS week..cause I can and want to... :lol:

Dude, that's scary. :eek:

Don't do that again.

[ouch]

I believe that is an example of the art form known as girning.

[rtaylor61]

I believe that is an example of the art form known as girning.

No, GUMMING!:lol:

Randy

[ouch]

:jump: :jump:

[woodbane]

You're both close, it's actually called 'Gurning'.

GURNING is the art of pulling of grotesque faces. The word gurn means to snarl like a dog, look savage, distort the countenance.

The word gurning seems to have been originally Scottish, in the form girn, which, appears to have been a contorted form of grin. It has had several meanings, of which the oldest - from medieval times - is still current in Scots and Irish dialect.

The origin of gurning is obscure but it is thought to have come from one of two things.

One was making a mockery of the village idiot. Townsfolk would throw a horse collar over the fool and make him pull funny faces in exchange for a few pints.

The other involves a drunken farmer who arrived home to find a discontented wife. He shouted: "Stop gurning woman!" and thrust a collar over her head!
Gurning has been 'named and shamed' as one of the 10 worst tourist trap events in Britain.

Oh, what a veritable fountain of knowledge I am!!:cool:

(oh and Google is my friend.............................) :biggrin:

[ouch]

I thought I used the accepted spelling.

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=girning

:001_07:

[woodbane]

I believe "Girning" was the original Scottish spelling and it has been changed by the Brits to "Gurning". Probably either one is acceptable.:smile:

[woodbane]

Alright gentlemen, the Fragrance Train has arrived at my household!:biggrin:

I spent an extremely enjoyable 45 minutes with the wife last night opening zip lock baggies and sniffing the contents, it kind of reminded me of skanky young teens sniffing glue!!!:eek: :lol:

Anyhoooooooo, wifey never ceases to amaze me and put forth what I thought was actually a pretty bloody good idea.

We're all aware of how different the scents can be from 'in bottle' to 'on skin' due to dry-down right? She suggested putting those tester strips you get in the department store into the pack so you could actually put a tiny drop on the strip and then smell it a little while later to see if you still like it as the scent changes.

Now I know that effectively means you are removing a tiny drop of the sample but given the number of samples and the fact that people are pretty unlikely to test all of them, I don't think it would cause samples to disappear due to people using a small drop of the ones they were most intersted in smelling. Plus, we all have different tastes and so would be unlikely to hit the same samples over and over.

What do you guys think, I thought it sounded like a fairly good concept??

[Scotto]

Good idea. Go for it. :laugh: :wink1:

[woodbane]

Do I detect a hint of facetiousness there??:rolleyes:

[KUJO]

Congrats Andy, glad the box made it there OK.

Enjoy!

[woodbane]

Ed, got it, replied...Wednesday it is then.............."All Aboard!" :biggrin:

[rasiermesserfan]

The B & B fragrance train arrived today. So over the weekend, I'll be sampling some of the wonderful fragrances in the box. I've got a few to add myself.

I'll be ready to ship it out to the next person on Monday, so Scotto, who's the next lucky recipient?

Ed

[letterk]

So...what's the status of the train? Is it out of coal?

[Scotto]

It is on its way to Vontech. If you want in on the action after seeing the most recent contents, just PM me.

[rasiermesserfan]

It'll be leaving Los Angeles today on it's way to Vontech. I'll post the latest contents list this evening.

[woodbane]

I have a question.

Can whoever included the sample of 4711 (which I removed....thanks) tell me which one it is as I am seriously giving consideration to buying some of this. There do, however, seem to be a few varieties:

Some help here please? I can also see 4711 Ice & 4711 Ice Green listed on basenotes. When you do a general web search on 4711 you get the blue bottle pictured. Is the gold and green bottle obsolete?

I'd have it ready on Monday, but it's a holiday. So Tuesday is the scheduled departure. Scotto, who get's it next?

[rtaylor61]

I have a question.

Andy,

I can't help you with which is which, but I do know that some guys have found 4711 at Big Lots!. I have the gold and green bottle, which I received in trade, and it came from Big Lots. Have you tried Google?

Randy

[Scotto]

You can send it back to me for now. I'll PM you my address.

If anyone else wants in, PM me. I think it has visited everyone on the list I have so far.

[woodbane]

:biggrin: Andy,

I can't help you with which is which, but I do know that some guys have found 4711 at Big Lots!. I have the gold and green bottle, which I received in trade, and it came from Big Lots. Have you tried Google?

Randy

Thanks Randy, I have googled it and found it at numerous places. It's always the blue label version and isn't horribly expensive either. I have a Big Lots near me, I'll have to check it out.

Cheers Randy.

[ouch]

You can send it back to me for now. I'll PM you my address.

If anyone else wants in, PM me. I think it has visited everyone on the list I have so far.

It hasn't visited me! I've been a good boy- just ask Santa.

[letterk]

I haven't mailed it yet. Scotto, should I send it to ouch?

[Scotto]

Yessir.

[ouch]

Terrific. I know John has the address.

[letterk]

Yes, I do. It will go out on Tuesday. That worked out nicely.

[ouch]

Yes, I do. It will go out on Tuesday. That worked out nicely.

Indeed it does. All I have to do is remember to keep my blades!:tongue_sm

[ouch]

I'm on the road this weekend, and the missus just told me that I received, and I quote, "another box".:biggrin:

I'm assuming it's the fragrance train, but I guess it could be the Milord I'm expecting, or the new Aristocrat, or the strop I'm donating to a worthy cause, and I do have another str8 on the way, or I suppose it could be that order from CS. Oh, for God's sake, at this point it could be anything.:blushing:

Let you know on Monday.

[letterk]

Did the Train ever show up?

[soulshine]

PM sent. i hope it's not too late to get on board.

thanks all!

s~s

[Scotto]

Got the magic box back today. Wow - I forgot how much stuff is in there! Looks like you guys put some goodies in there as well; I'll re-stock it over the next few days and then get it out to soulshine. After that, I think we need to get it to some of our Canadian friends.

This thing has been on the road since March - let's keep it going!! If people have interest in entering scent-addled mayhem, drop me a PM.

[Xert]

After that, I think we need to get it to some of our Canadian friends.


Whoopie!!

[luvgravy]

After that, I think we need to get it to some of our Canadian friends.

That's great news indeed. I'd love to see this over the border.

[soulshine]

thanking everyone! let me know if you would like me to send it on up north.

s~s

[ouch]

It's a really great project, and a wonderful oppurtunity to sniff so many fragrances at once. Just keep in mind that although all the colors of the spectrum combine to make white, all of these wonderful scents combine to smell like a rest room on the IRT subway. Keep 'em seperate, boys.:lol:

Seriously, it was refreshing to discover how I enjoyed scents I never thought I would, and very helpfull fo realize that some very well known products (which I might have otherwise purchased on a whim) really weren't for me. A fantastic resource.

[woodbane]

After that, I think we need to get it to some of our Canadian friends.

Are you sure, I mean, it is Canada after all!:tongue: JUST KIDDING!!

[luvgravy]

Mental note....

Reroute Toronto garbage from Michigan to Vermont. :ihih:

[mrob]

Great idea!

[woodbane]

:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

[guenron]

Are you sure, I mean, it is Canada after all!:tongue: JUST KIDDING!!
Is that where all the Canadians live? After listening to the start of the Stanley Cup game, I thought they lived in "O" just like us.

[Scotto]

I have sorted through the contents, and I will be adding about 15 more fragrances to the box before sending it on its way, bring the total well over 50 colognes. This thing is just packed with scented goodness.

[soulshine]

i certainly appreciate all your hard work with this & the opportunity to be included!

[soulshine]

the box arrived this afternoon. i will go through it the next day or two, add a few things & send it off.

thanks!

s~s

[letterk]

I suggest sniffing in shifts. My poor nose couldn't take smelling all at the same sitting.

[soulshine]

after i opened the box i figured the same! no friggin' way i'd make it through it in one sitting.

my wife - on the other hand - is having no problem opening each one and making notes.

good morning all,

[Scotto]

Any more Canadians before it heads back south?

(Doing our part for NAFTA...) :cool:

[JAG]

Hi Scott:

I'd like to be on the list.

I'll be at the address you have for the shave cream samples until the end of this month. If I can be worked into the sequence before then - wonderful.

I'll send you a PM with it again

I'll send off another M.O. when I "raid the cookie jar":smile:

Thanks
Bob

[Joedy]

Hey Scotto,

I'd like to be next on the list.

I have some colognes that are not on the list that I can contribute.

I am new that this, so I am not quite sure what the protocol is.

-joedy

[Scotto]

Joedy, it is up in Canada right now. If you PM me your address I'll put you in the queue for when it works its way back to the US.

[Jim]

Get in line for the fragrance train (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=1712). Lots of stuff to try.

Thanks Scotto
Please save me a "seat"
Jim

[Scotto]

Please PM me or I will never remember.

The Train is on its way back to the station for some restocking and maintenance. After a brief stop, it will be on its way again, this time to Scorpio.

[Ken from Denver]

If there is any steam left in the boiler, the train could make a stop at my place.

[Padron]

If there is any steam left in the boiler, the train could make a stop at my place.

Hey Ken,

I'm in Denver too, maybe we can kill two birds when it rolls into this neck of the woods..:smile:

[Ken from Denver]

Sounds good to me, we could just hand it off to one another someplace. I just made my request/post in this forum. I'm not sure I'm on the list yet, haven't heard back from Scotto yet. Maybe I have to PM him? Not exactly sure of the protocol yet........:wink2:

[Scotto]

A PM would have done it, but I saw your threads and added your names to the list. There are a least a dozen gents in line ahead of you, so it may be a while. Stay tuned.

[italianotigre]

Hey, think maybe I could join you guys? Its cool to see other guys on here from the same place as me. :cool:

[Ken from Denver]

Looks like there are 3 of us in Denver..........Scotto, maybe we could coordinate the trains arrival in Denver, and then the 3 of us would take it from there. It's a thought, and would save each of us some postage. Let us know
Ken

[Scorpio]

The train has departed The Great State of Texas on its way to.....Maryland.

Enjoy!!

[majkeli]

Sorry for the delay, I've been sick and my sniffer wasn't working so good. The train is on it's way to NY

I took:
Creed Santal Imperial
Creed Acier Aluminum

I put in:
Penhaligon Blenheim Bouquet
Guerlain Vetiver
Thierry Mugler A*Men
$2

[Queen of Blades]

The train arrived here this morning.

Of course I'm dealing with a bit of pain at the moment, but we will try to get the train rolling along as fast as possible.

[ouch]

I wonder how many miles the train has logged so far. Certainly it's gone around the globe. :lol: :thumbup1:

[Tinzien]

I'd like to take part in the train. Please put my name onto the list! Thanks!

The train is on its way to msandoval858.

[msandoval858]

Tain landed in Austin! We're frozen in here (by us Texan's standards) but it was worth the trip to the mail box.

I gots lots of sniffin' to do here :biggrin:

dude you got mail!!! I have not seen the mailman in two days...I thought they were close today and probably tomorrow???

just make sure you dont put that Gold Slant Collectors piece, which is priceless, in the fragrance box. :001_tongu

Raf

[etagloh]

We can now announce the arrival of the train in the mountains of North Carolina. It's all rather overwhelming right now.

[Crag]

CHOO CHOOO...Come on RIDE THAT TRAIN!!!!

:thumbup:

[aspherical]

Woo!

At this rate, the train will get to me. . . July of next year! :eek:

[etagloh]

We are pleased to announce the train's departure to tjkirch.

It needed a few running repairs, and may need a little maintenance soon -- perhaps one of the next few destinations could use some of the repair fund to buy new vials?

(And remember, it's still faster than Amtrak.)

[tjkirch]

No response from BGog after a few days. If you see this, please respond to my PM!

I'm going to PM Rsirus in case I don't hear.

[edit] Sorry, rusirius :)

[vcowman]

sweet, the train is about to pull into my station!

[Crag]

Can we get an updated waiting list?

Thanks!

[rusirius]

Fragrance train ready to pull out again... :biggrin: PM'd next on the list jbasl and waiting for reply...

[Padron]

Seems like the train has been making extended stops, too bad it's not one of those high speed trains :smile:

[Jim]

I am totally flummoxed that this is still rolling!

[ouch]

I received it over a year ago!

[daniel]

Does it make stops in Oklahoma?

[Buzz]

This was the last reported train sighting.

Anybody know the scoop?

I was thinking it should be comin' my way pretty soon.

You could try PM'ing the last couple recipients....

[Buzz]

Did that before posting to the thread. Haven't gotten a response yet.

[letterk]

It would be sad if the train was lost forever. It stopped with me sometime last summer and was a real pleasure.

[Padron]

Agreed, hopefully it will resurface soon. Was the last stop of the train discovered?

[farace]

The cool things like the train and the decant club all seem to have happened and ended just before I joined up. It's a conspiracy, right? :tongue:

[Buzz]

Agreed, hopefully it will resurface soon. Was the last stop of the train discovered?

The train appears to have been derailed in the handoff from rusirius to jbasl.

Last sighting was on 4/26/07:

Fragrance train ready to pull out again... PM'd next on the list jbasl and waiting for reply...

Looking at rusirius' profile, 4/26/07 was also the last date that he visited the B&B forum. rusirius hasn't responded to PM and has email contact disabled.

jbasl hasn't responded to my PM yet and also has email contact disabled. However... he has been on forum as recently as 4 days ago. Hopefully he will check in again in a few days. After all, this is vacation season, etc.

I did get a confirmation that the train did not get passed on from jbasl to the next gentleman.

If a moderator is able to contact these two folks by email, it could be helpful in the recovery effort.

Thanks for the info. We'll look into it.

[rusirius]

Hi Guys,
First let me appologize for holding the train up. I had contacted jbasl about getting it sent off, but he told me he was no longer interested, so I moved on to the next, Creskin. He got back to me and told me to send it on, but didn't include an address. I asked for the address and never got a response back. Then in waiting for a response I had two fairly overwhelming family emergencies / life issues that I had to deal with in succession. In the mean time the fragrance train got shoved to the side and completely forgotten about. Since then things are doing a bit better, and I checked my email this morning and saw the queries about the train.

Again I appoligize deeply for holding it up as long as I have. If Creskin can get back to me with an address I'll get it sent out ASAP.

Thanks for understanding.

It has been quite a while. I wonder how many people on the current list are still:

1. Active on the boards
2. Interested in participating

[copperhead]

Hi Scotto,

Can i get on board the train? How do i do it?

Thanks
Ram

[Tinzien]

I'm still on board waiting for the train to pull into station.

[farace]

Me, too? (realizing this could be a very long wait . . .).

[Xert]

Investigating those points before proceeding seems prudent.

[Baloosh]

Investigating those points before proceeding seems prudent.

Here's the list as of the last time it was mentioned in this thread:

I think I have everyone who has asked on the list. Here is the next list as it stands:

ace(NE)
msandoval858
etagloh
tjkirch
BGog
Rsirus
jbasl
Creslin
Buzz
vcowman
josh434
Daveshaves
Padron
Ken from Denver
italianogre
mtwo
Baloosh
Chef8489
Tinzien
aspherical
johnniegold
Ltltony
Crag
mraquarium

The bolded name is where the package currently resides. And we know that the next person on the list (jbasl) is no longer interested. Creslin is still interested, but no shipping address yet to the current owner.

Moving down the list:

Buzz is current, in fact he's online right now (as of this posting)
vcowman is current (last activity yesterday)
josh434 is current (last activity 6-19-07)
Daveshaves is current (last activity 6-22-07)
Padron is current (last activity today)
Ken from Denver is current (last activity 6-7-07)
italianotigre doesn't look to be current (last activity 2-3-07)
mtwo might be current (last activity 5-7-07)
me (of course!)
Chef8489 doesn't look to be current (last activity 3-13-07)
Tinzien has already responded in here
aspherical is current (last activity 6-24-07)
johnniegold is current (last activity today)
ltltony doesn't look to be current (last activity 2-20-07)
Crag is current (last activity 6-2-07)
mraquarium doesnt' look to be current (last activity 2-24-07)

So it looks like there's about 4 or so that might no longer be active. The mods/admins will have to make the final call as to how best to handle this train moving forward (pun intended) to help minimize the chances of it getting sidetracked again.

[rodneyk915]

Just getting started in DE shaving and would love to be able to get in on this to find out about these products :biggrin:

[tm3]

i sent a PM last fall and was told that i was on the list, but it looks like i'm not.

i'd still like to be on it.

thanks

[johnniegold]

Perhaps to give this frag train a little more organization, I think we should take the current people on the list and just alphabetize the remaining members by their screen names. Now jbasl is no longer interested so who would be next alphabetically?

[aspherical]

I think that's a wonderful idea! :biggrin: :tongue:

[johnniegold]

I think that's a wonderful idea! :biggrin: :tongue: :eek:

[aspherical]

:innocent: :shuriken:

[vcowman]

Hey, I am almost up! I am looking forward to it dont want to get ninja'd! :biggrin:

[rtaylor61]

I would think that with shipping costs involved, geographical would make more sense.

Randy

[Baloosh]

I would think that with shipping costs involved, geographical would make more sense.

Randy

Agreed, but we'd need to get whomever has the package currently a list of all addresses and then basically start over from there.

[Padron]

I don't like that idea too much, as it pushes me futher down the list :eek: and there is 3 of us in my area on the list.

[rusirius]

Just checked in since my last post... To update your current list, jbsl was no longer interested (as already posted) and Creslin was and got back to me with his address, the box is currently with UPS Ground on it's way towards Texas.

FWIW I removed the Kenneth Cole Black and one other (can't remember off the top of my head), and added a little to the repair fund.

[Mr Green]

Shoot, if this thing ever comes around again I'd be interested in it. Maybe a Train redux or something.

[echophonic]

So. is the train still going? Scotto, are you still the conductor?

Who takes tickets? I'd like to hop a ride.

[Jenesee]

Im not sure whats going on with the train but I feel I aught to ask. I know some of you have been waiting for over a year for it and still holding out hope that it may at some point arrive. I believe it would be a good idea to make sure its ok with the majority on the list to begin suddenly alphabetizing or sending to people by area. I know it makes sense and saves money but as I said some people have been waiting for almost 2 years! I dont speak for those I know here or Tinzien but if it were me and I was on the list ( which im not :) ) Id be quite put out to find myself reordered and be waiting even longer. Just trying to avoid a trainwreck.

Creslin was the last known recipient. Can anyone try to contact him and verify he at least received the package?

[Xavier]

Highly interested, on a ticket for this train. Let me know if it is possible.
Is there plan for another train?

[Buzz]

Creslin was the last known recipient. Can anyone try to contact him and verify he at least received the package?

I'm next on the list and have PM'ed him and emailed him directly. I will post an update when I received the FT.

I am not in favor of reordering the list. It might move around a little faster if the list were ordered by region, but trying to fairly order the train would be a big headache.

Folks... the very existence of the train is due to generosity of Scotto and the care taken by subsequent B&B members. Having the train stop by your place is a privilege and not an entitlement. The idea is so wonderful that people haved signed up much a lot faster than the train can possibly travel.

I've been on the list since last October and still eagerly anticipate the arrival.

[Sabledog]

Any word on the train? Is it considered derailed? or just delayed departure?

[wholesnocone]

I, too, am interested in hopping aboard. I don't have much to add, 'cept some Tommy cologne, but would be willing to part with a few ducats to be added to the list.

-benjy

[bjrn]

Perhaps it would be better to have a few smaller trains going in parallell? That way if one gets stuck somewhere it's not as big a deal. And more people could get reached in shorter time as well...


And I'd love to be on the train, if it re-appears and takes euro-people on board.

[Jim]

Great Idea! why not start one yourself?

[bjrn]

Because I'm horribly low on anything to start it with. But in a week or two, once I have my vacation over with and all I might give it a try. What kind of containers were used for the original train?

[rusirius]

:cursing:

Well, much as is the story of my life, nothing ever seems to go as planned... As stated, back on July 1st, I mailed this box off to Creslin using the name and address he provided.

Somewhere around the 16th of July, I got a note from UPS saying they had billed me an additional $5 or something like that, for "adjusting" my address.

Apparently somehow their system stripped off the Apartment number and they charged me to "add" it back on. :cursing:

In the mean time, on July 25th my wife went in to the hospital to give birth to our first child who was born on the 26th at 9:41pm. :biggrin:

On the 29th I returned home to find the fragrance train box sitting on my door step. :eek:

Unfortunately with everything going on with becoming a new father, I couldn't even think about dealing with it then, and set it off to the side to be taken care of later...

Last week, I received yet another note from UPS, again charging me another $8 for the curtesy of returning my package to me.

After investigating the tracking information,

(tracking number: 1ZE6T8150399489244)

it looks like on the 9th they "fixed" the address (the original apartment number was supplied, but doesn't show up in their system apparently.)

Apparently on the Monday the 9th, the business was "closed". The 10th and 11th, I have no idea what that crap is all about... It says a correct "company or receiver name" is required, again, I know for a fact the correct name was supplied, or at least the name given to me, and that does show up in the online system.

The 12th and the 13th attempts were made again, and apparently the receiver was unable to sign.

For some reason, then on the 13th again, it says the business was closed... Maybe they tried again later in the evening?

On the 16th, another attempt was made, and apparently receiver was unable to sign again...

At this point, it looks like Creslin must have notified them that they would pick the package up at the UPS facility within 5 days...

By the 23rd, apparently the package had still not be picked up.

At this point, UPS sent the package back to me, and I'm once again back where I started. Just around $30 lighter... :cursing:

Whoever is next on the list, please PM me with your name and address so I can be rid of this cursed thing once and for all!

[Buzz]

I'm next.

I've tried to get in touch with Creslin via PM and email. I've been unsuccesful. He hasn't been on B&B since 6-27-07.

rusirius -- Will PM you my address.

[rusirius]

At the request of Padron just wanted to let everyone know the train was shipped out and was delivered to Buzz on the 24th of August... May it bring better luck to him than it did to me... :biggrin:

[rtheen]

I would love to be on the list and have many colognes availible.

[Jim]

Does the train still have "artwork" on it?

[rusirius]

Does the train still have "artwork" on it?

LOL, yup, your drawing(s) is still there.. same box, just peeled the label and taped on a new... However it WAS starting to show some wear... I think it actually consists more of tape right now than cardboard... LOL... Might need to be replaced before too long... :biggrin:

[Jim]

That box has logged a lot of miles!

The train is at least 14-16 months old now.. amazing.

[MatthewAlbasi]

Is there any way i can get onto this fragrance train?

[Buzz]

At the request of Padron just wanted to let everyone know the train was shipped out and was delivered to Buzz on the 24th of August... May it bring better luck to him than it did to me... :biggrin:

Confirmed. I have it.

Sadly, the train has arrived at the peak of my annual allergy season. I will get it moving again as quickly as I can.

(BTW-- nice artwork.)

[Buzz]

Recovered from the edge of the abyss...

I'm happy to report that the Fragrance Train is back on track.

Today it is pulling out of the Tennessee station and is once again chugging toward the Left Coast.

The old train is looking a bit worse for wear, but there are still a lot of nice things in there.

I found a few nice ones -- Pecksniff's Aromatic Chype, Harris Arlington, and Truefitt & Hill Clubman.

I also contributed 8 or 9 new samples. Some Penhaligons & Creed, plus a few others.

Here is the list of upcoming stops as I know it:

vcowman
josh434
Daveshaves
Padron
Ken from Denver
italianogre (No longer active)
mtwo (No longer active)
Baloosh
Chef8489 (No longer active)
Tinzien

johnniegold
Ltltony

I'd guess that will be at least the rest of the year before this list is covered.

I'd guess that will be at least the rest of the year before this list is covered.

Every name that it stops by, is one name closer to it arriving in Ohio!

WORD. :thumbup:

[ouch]

Make sure that Mathew's name gets added to the list. :thumbup1:

Package received. I can't call it a box because it is made mostly of tape....

There is a ton of stuff in here. I don't really know where to start.

I'm going to try to send it out again on monday, so I'm PM who ever is next on the list.

Has the train derailed? What's going on with the frag train? Where is it?

I think it went to Ken,

I passed and said I was not interested as I have most of what I was interested in a year ago.

[johnniegold]

Looks like Jason's next in line. Thanks for the update Neale.

!! Woohoo!! Can't wait! PM'ing Ken from Denver now!

[Baloosh]

Just got a PM from Ken from Denver, and he's not received the package yet. ??:confused:

daveshaves, to whom did the package ship? Any updates?

[Luxlover]

Can I be added?

[Ltltony]

Woohoo, I'm within 10 people.

This is a really great idea. I am rather new to the whole wet shaving, another one of those "shaving is getting expensive, what other options do I have" people. I have been reading around this forum for a couple weeks, but just recently joined in on the fun. I can not get over how friendly and helpful people seem to be around here. I appreciate it! One thing I am finding though is that in my quest to find a cheaper way to shave, I found a better way to shave, but now I am spending even more money on my gear! :) Thanks B&B!

Any news from "Ken from Denver"?

Ken PM'd me a while back and said he never got the package, so the last status was at daveshaves' location, a few months back.

Anyone have any way of contacting him?

[Padron]

Dang,

Did the train get lost, derailed somewhere...I opted to not participate....but still a shame to see the train derailed like this...:frown:

[johnniegold]

Did the fragrance train finally meet its end. That was one helluva ride.

[Jim]

I dropped a note via e-mail to Dave to see whats up!

[Jim]

I have located the train! who's next? PM me your address

[johnniegold]

C'mon who is next in line for the Frag Train?

I believe my spot is coming up. I too have tried most of the frags since I originally signed up, so I will forego my seat.

The Train Kept a Rollin'...

[doleeo]

Is there anyway I could get in on this?
