    Default PIF: The (somehow) amazing NOT CONUS shaving related mysterious travelling box

    I'm a proud not Conus B&B... and I thinks it's time for my kind to take advantage of the bittersweet experience of the mail waiting.
    I'm gonna put together a mystery box; but I want to keep it Not Conus only. I know that the postage can be a pain some times, that's why I need to make a list of all the gents that want to play.
    The big picture is that I send the box to the guy that is geographically nearest to me (maybe some fellow in Argentina), he will send it to the nearest guy and so on.
    I'm putting together a 800 grs - 1kg box of shaving related stuff, you are free to take what ever you like; but you have to trow something in to keep the box on that weight range.
    Let's see if is there any Not Conus that likes this idea.
    Great shaves and cheers!

    Hey Landri! Where have you been lately? Sounds like a great idea, but since I'm CONUS, I can't get in! Have fun with it guys.

    Quick question- Do we have to be careful about after-shaves/colognes because of the high alcohol content? Not sure it applies everywhere, but post 9-11, isn't shipment of alcohol goods prohibited?

    Hi Landri,

    Probably not the closest to you here in London but count me in.
    It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

    Good point sir!!
    I think we should keep the items with high alcohol content out of the box... just in case..

    So the list:
    Me - Chile
    Vivasanti - New Zeland
    Vulpes - London

    If we get at least 10 candidates I think we can put the PIF on the road.

    Here comes the stupid question.

    Do we consider Canada CONUS?

    hahaha... that's the idea... I usually had a 20 to 30 waiting days till I received my goodies... and I must said that the waiting period is part of the excitement.

    tricky question... but.. NO, I don't want to think Canada as CONUS (but Canada and Chile are part of America as a continent).
    I can count you in if you want to

    Count me in, Landri! Great idea!
    I'm located in the Netherlands.

    I think it's a good idea to keep high alcohol content out of the mystery box. Could possibly give problems at customs in some countries.
