[Queen of Blades]

Jim knows exactly what he got you....lol.. so far, I think you are the only one who Doesn't know..... :biggrin: :biggrin:

Really? :lol: I don't think so.

He is telling me to open it, and you are telling me not to torture him. How am I torturing him if he already knows?

You should tell him what he got me Sue. :wink:

He told me to send you something nice.. I am pretty sure I packed coal tho...:001_tt2: I just can't remember anymore...
I am going to ask Jim what he bought you again, I ship out so many orders I can't really remember anymore..... :scared:

[Baloosh]

I was just getting ready to create a thread reminding all the Secret Santas that the time is drawing near!

My gift(s) will go out tomorrow. I forgot how much fun e-stalking can be! :eek:

[PalmettoB]

Sending mine out today. It has a ways to go, so I want to make sure it gets there on time! Off to the Post Office!

[Edcculus]

Sending mine soon too. Hasnt gotten here yet, but I'll definately get it out by the shipping deadline.

[surfanimal]

My update: waiting for packages to arrive here, so I can make them arrive somewhere far away from me!

[Queen of Blades]

Thanks Jim!

[Mama Bear]

I sent mine out on Monday, but haven't heard anything from the recipient yet!! :w00t:

[castlecraver]

I dumped mine at the PO drop box late Wednesday night. I'm a little concerned that it hasn't arrived yet, as its not going too awfully far, and it was sent priority mail. :bored:

prob. chalk that up to the weather

[Mottern Man]

I sent mine out yesterday.

But its not really a secret i joined late so I'm doing it with Justso

[TraderJoe]

Ok, Pat (castlecraver) is officially THE MAN

This is quite possible the coolest thing I have ever received as a gift. Pat, thanks again buddy (YGPM)! :thumbup1:

[Jim]

nice!

[Queen of Blades]

Cool! :thumbup:

[Mama Bear]

Excellent! :001_tt1: :thumbup1: Wow!

[Edcculus]

Hey, thats really cool!

Sent mine out priority today. Hopefully it will be there by the end of the week.

[Mama Bear]

I sent mine out over a week ago and am starting to get worried.... :eek:

[Tinzien]

My Secret Santa nominee was MasonM but he has apparently moved on from the site and thus will probably not (to my deep sigh) post his score.

As he is always out on the road, I got MasonM the ** Edit **.

My thanks to Lee of Lee's Razors and Mama Bear (original idea) for assisting me with my gift order.

Seth

** Edit: Maybe I am jumping the gun and posting his swag without giving him a fair shot to. All I know is that his package was delivered but he could still be out on the road and not been able to open the gift. He might jump on to post or he might not. If he does not I'll relist the swag otherwise for now I'll keep with the Christmas spirit. :) **

[Mama Bear]

For my gift I want Mason to come back.... :sleep:

[peacefrog]

Hmm...there seems to be a consensus building to open these presents when they arrive. I have neither received nor sent mine, but I was planning on waiting before opening it. Maybe I should reconsider.

[castlecraver]

Ok, Pat (castlecraver) is officially THE MAN

I'm SO happy I was able to pull off something a little different. I looked for awhile at some of Joe's old posts, but when I began seeing references to his ownership of obscure shaving products that only come hand-packed into hollowed-out coconuts by the natives of Borneo, I knew I had absolutely no chance of picking something out that he didn't already have.

Also VERY glad it got there in once piece... the trip to the PO was a bit of an ordeal. :bored:

[Jim]

A very thoughtful gift from Kyle Stoner!:thumbup1:

Thanks Kyle!

:lol: thats hilarious. Pat, these vintage razor Ad's are....perfect! I sincerely appreciate all the thought you put into my gift, and I am still in awe of it. :thumbup1:

[Kyle Stoner]

I'm glad everything arrived well...I did days of research finding out what 'the man that has everything' doesn't have for under $25! Brought to you in part by a very generous member of B&B, Tye was the only person on the planet I think that has TwInjector cartridges! Thanks Tye!

Edit: BTW I was thinking of writing 'Do not open until X-Mas...unless you really have to!' on the box ;) But I forgot. I think maybe Jim would have ignored it anyways...:biggrin:

[peacefrog]

Trader Joe went way overboard on my gift. Thanks Joe!

[Twilliger]

Hmm...there seems to be a consensus building to open these presents when they arrive. I have neither received nor sent mine, but I was planning on waiting before opening it. Maybe I should reconsider.

Nope, I am with you - mine arrived today - requesting that I open on the 25th and I am gonna do just that. My out, goes out tomorrow, just under the wire, and cutting down on advanced openings.

That said, it is kind of fun seeing you guys opening online - virtual Christmas or something.

Well, note that I opened mine anyway. Actually, it was an accident. Really.

[Scorpio]

I got mine today from dszpiro, thank you Danny. I'll wait 'til x-mas to open it.

btw, my package went out today so it will be arriving soon.

Raf

[Baloosh]

Awesome! My SS gift arrived last night.

Suzuki, you're the Man.

Pics to follow tonight, but I got:

A honkin' huge tub of shaving cream (complete with the barber's striped pole on the label)
Derby blades
Knize Ten decant :biggrin:
Aquarius (I think) A/S splash... NICE scent
A note from Santa!!

I'm at work right now, and can't quite remember the exact names of the cream and A/S, but like I said once I get back home tonight I'll post some pics for all.

Thanks again Suzuki!!!! :cool:

[rikrdo]

Got mine yesterday and opened it immediately !!

Thanks to PalmettoB for some awesome goodies.
Pix later today.
==============
NO pix yet...Sorry.
Heres the list:

[B]Bottle of Corn Huskers Lotion
1oog tin of MacBaren Golden Extra pipe tobacco
BEE-utiful Slim Adjustable razor in Pristine condition.

[SSLStudio]

I sent mine out yesterday to Jeff (crackstar) I forgot to take a photo :eek:
The box is over 2kg The woman at the counter said its over 2kg just by 1 gram so actually you should pay fees for a 5 Kg but she was nice and said id say its perhaps an error margin of the scale. that was odd ! how can a package grow in weight it was 1996 grams when I measured it on my digital scale all taped up .

it is so huge I got stuck getting out the back gate we have in the garden the box in the bike bag was too wide.

This time I told the post girl we have to label it a CN22 just to make sure customs dont open it I dont want them to do their Xmas shopping in my gift package.

too bad Jeff doesnt have a camera yet he is getting one though as soon as Mr S. gets him one. so I guess text will do.

I'll join Sue, I want Mason back for Xmas everything else dont matter.

[PalmettoB]

I got my package from Peacefrog (Bob) yesterday. I had brief thoughts about waiting until Christmas, but curiosity got the better of me. Here's the loot:
http://badgerandblade.com/gallery/displayimage.php?imageid=5017

I have been wanting to try Tuscan Memories since Mama Bear first started talking about it! And having never tried Honeybee Sue's soaps, they were next on my list. Bob, you couldn't have nailed it any better! :thumbup: Thanks so much!!

[crackstar]

yeah, it would sure be nice to have Mason back, because he's a prince of a man. Another prince of a man, is my dear, dear friend Rene in Holland. Anyone who can send me such a gigantic package deserves one in return, and what I'll sending him comes from my heart!
Rene, a little shoutout to you--You are the greatest, bro!!!!!

Jeff

[Baloosh]

As promised, here's a pic of my SS score.

Sorry for the image resize... a resized .jpg looks like crap for reading text.

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n144/Balooshy/BandB-SS-Score.jpg

For those who cannot decipher the artifacts that were once words:

1. JM Frasier's shaving cream (giant tub)
2. Decant of Booster Aquarius A/S splash (scent similar to Clubman)
3. Knize Ten decant
4. Derby Extras

Thanks Suzuki!!!!

[dszpiro]

I got mine today from dszpiro, thank you Danny. I'll wait 'til x-mas to open it.

That is a cool gift. Nice job, Pat. :thumbup: I have a similar advertisement hanging in my bathroom. I guess they have a whole series of them. They're tres cool.

[peacefrog]

I'm really impressed with the gifts people have sent. Seems like everyone put a lot of thought into them.

[kennethw]

I have received mine, but I'm (uncharacteristically) waiting until Christmas. Am I the only one? :biggrin:

Thanks rikrdo! :thumbup1:

GGGGgggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... :eek: :biggrin:

[Tinzien]

I'm still waiting for my package to arrive so you can't growl at me yet Mama Bear for holding out on the goodie list. *grin*

[crackstar]

I never expected a package this big in my whole life!!!!! My man Rene is unbeatable at putting stuff together, and he covers the entire globe! There's stuff in it from just about every continent! All I can say is my wife had to ask the postman to carry it into the kitchen and put it on the table. When I got home, I nearly went through the ceiling, and it took me close to an hour to get everything sorted out and placed. All I can say is WOO-HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Life is beautiful when you're a wetshaver!!!!!

Jeff

[Mama Bear]

I'm still waiting for my package to arrive so you can't growl at me yet Mama Bear for holding out on the goodie list. *grin*

[kennethw]

Yikes. So whose hasn't arrived yet?

I'll take photos of my score asap. My wife and I are having our holiday party tomorrow and things are upside down. Thanks again, rikrdo!!

The mail is running really slow right now.. don't ask me how I know.... :blush:

[PalmettoB]

So Mama Bear, does this mean I would be better off ordering soaps AFTER Christmas now? :biggrin: (BTW, Peacefrog (Bob) included some of Giovanni's Tuscan Memories in my Secret Santa score....LOVE IT! Bellisima!!)

[Edcculus]

I recieved mine from Michael (mlebarron) a while ago, but havent had time to post about it.

The box had Sue's return address sticker on it, so I just HAD to open it.

I got three Mama Bear soaps:
Fleur De Soul
Bay Rum
Sleigh Ride

Couldnt have hit the nail on the head any better!

[Kyle Stoner]

[Jim]

[Mama Bear]

Thank you Jim!!! I got it!

I have a collection of very nice looking homemade soaps, definately a quality product. I have a gardeners soap, patchouli & cinnamon and a kitchen scrub bar... also a handmade lip balm and a rosewater in an aluminum spray bottle (which I have already used... and is very nice :thumbup1: :thumbup1: )

Thank you Secret Santa.... please let me know who you are...! :smile:

[Tinzien]

According to the image from the security camera outside of the establishment where the soaps were acquired, it had to be Goosemeplease .... or someone in a clever costume!

Oh My... is THAT what Jim looks like..... lol :lol: But, no.. goosemeplease had the queen of blades.... and this package came from Quebec..

Jim, honey.. I would have thought you knew about the security cameras..... :laugh: :blink:

[Tinzien]

Then we have a clever master of disguise amongst us! :scared:

[Jim]

Thats my brother Ducky, While he is somewhat fowl he's a nice fellow nonetheless:glare:

[Mama Bear]

He is a dashing dresser too, love that wig!

But, I have it on very good word that it was Twilliger who sent the package..... Woohooo Thank You Twilliger!! You sure know how to make a lady happy! :001_wub:

[Edcculus]

I was about to say it looks like it came from Twilliger. He sent me a sample of olive oil shaving soap his wife makes that had the same label.

Merry Christmas Ed!

Thanks for the Bakelite-handled Schick Injector, injector blades, St. Charles soap, and two A/S sample tubes! I have never shaved with an injector so I am indeed looking forward to my first go with this great looking razor!

I hope you're having a great holiday. Best,

[GoTeeGuy]

A big thanks goes out to dojohnso (Doug) for his wonderful gift -- Castle Forbes Lime Oil Shaving Cream. :001_tt1: :001_tt1: :001_tt1: WOW!!!! I gotta tell ya -- I've been a shave soap user for over a decade and have never had any luck with creams. But now -- I'M A CHANGED MAN!!!!!!!! I love this stuff and don't think I can ever go back to soaps. Kudos to you my friend for your very fine choice in gift!

[Sue]

Sending a big THANK YOU !!! to Kenneth W for a wonderful box of assorted chocolates from Cocoa Bella. Truly some of the best and most unusual chocolates I've ever eaten. Thank you Kenneth!
Sue

[Kyle Stoner]

I opened my Secred Santa gift with my family on Christmas eve...from Aaron (ada8356). I will post pics later but it is a HUGE tub of JM Fraser Shaving cream and Barber Shops Classic Polar Ice aftershave! Totally classic items, both have a barber pole right on the label! Awesome combination, and I can't wait to try it out!

Thanks Aaron!

[Tinzien]

I got six white barbershop towels from Mason.

So glad you like them. My wife ended up giving me a few as a stocking stuffer. Love that Cocoa Bella. :biggrin:

[Sue]

Kenneth,
All were wonderful confections. I was particularly impressed with one of the chocolates that had a 'bite' to it. If someone had gave me a chocolate and told me it has a hot spice bite, I probably would have passed on it. Darn -- it was very very good!

:yesnod: I've had a few chocolates with spice in them....the spice purportedly enhances the flavor of the chocolate. I agree.

Thank you :biggrin:

[castlecraver]

Wow!!! There was a can of Pre de Province shave soap and a cool little vintage blade safe awaiting my return from holidays!!

Only problem is, I've got no clue who sent it to me!! Some generous soul out in San Fransisco... I'd love to thank him personally for such a cool, much desired gift, if he'd show himself!

Pat, I have to tell you this... you really need to open up that soap... I have just heard something horrible about it!! Absolutely aweful! Please do this as soon as possible....:biggrin:

[castlecraver]

Pat, I have to tell you this... you really need to open up that soap... I have just heard something horrible about it!! Absolutely aweful! Please do this as soon as possible....:biggrin:

Oh for crying out loud... uuugh. I did open it as soon as I got it out of the box.... too damn stupid to look inside the lid though. THANK YOU PELLICLE (SETH)!!! In addition to generous, you're way more clever than I. :tongue:

[Jim]

Pat
You are in for a treat with that soap! enjoy it.

[pellicle]

Oh for crying out loud... uuugh.

:001_tt2:

You're welcome, Pat! Sorry that the Post Office took its sweet time with the package.

Although the soap is fantastic by itself (which I think you already know :001_rolle), adding a little Taylor's Avocado or C&E Sweet Almond cream will kick it up another notch or two...

[pellicle]

And while I'm at it, a very belated public thank-you to JoAnna (now known as Queen of Blades) for her fantastic present:

http://badgerandblade.com/gallery/displayimage.php?imageid=5387

I've used both the cream and the cologne since the package showed up in mid-December, and they're both terrific!!! :biggrin1:

[soapbuddy]

I got my goodies today! Thank you Fred Santa!
As soon as I can get some pics, I'll post them.
