The New Sampler Kits Are In!

**Hoos** · 03-04-2008, 06:34 PM

Dang guys! Give a guy a chance to whine and complain.

I get home from another day at the orrifice and there's some *#&$*@#& box blocking my door, keeping my poor weak body from some decent couch time, from some joint called Badger and Blade!

Man, if I knew you guys were that close, I would have driven over for it.

I haven't opened it yet. I'll get around to it. Oh who am I kidding. See ya'll later!

Thank you!

Also, we totally forgot to mention that almost every kit (we were a few short) will also receive several samples of Pacific Shave Company All natural Shaving Oil. Lastly, my sister, who was visiting from college (read: cheap labor), and who did much of the grunt work wants you all to know that these kits were "packaged with love".

Thanks, hopefully it will arrive on the east coast almost as rapidly as it did on the west.

With your permission, I'll avoid telling my girlfriend that all my new, good-smelling toys were packed with love by another (college age!) woman. That'll just be our little secret

Thank your sister!!

Everyday I get home from work and I slowly creep onto the door, hoping the package will be waiting there for me.. but nothing yet ( I live in TX)

Can't wait for it to arrive!!!

Not to rub it in for the guys who are still waiting. They did a really nice job with this. I'd completely forgotten about the Penhaligon's scent library! The samples and variety are really nice. This will probably take care of all of my ADs (well, except RAD) for a few months. If I mingle the samples in with my steady stuff. Must control fist of shave!!!

You'll be very happy. They did great by us!

Mine still hasn't arrived. Does Fedex ground offer tracking numbers?

Eric,

FedEx ground typically takes 5-7 business days, so your package could conceivably arrive by Tuesday, presuming your order was placed before last Sunday, if it was placed after, your package shipped today.

Holy Crap your sister is a packing prodigy.

Nice stuff and tell you sister thanks!

Just wanted to send people over to this thread: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=39800

Let us know where you started and how you liked the stuff.

**EricBNYC** · 03-08-2008, 08:24 PM

Well Boy Howdy! That's alot of great stuff. It's going to be real fun picking and choosing through this lot of great smelling stuff! I have one question, tho. What eactly is the stuff in the thing I've described below? I wanted to include pictures, but I can't figure out how to put them in a post.

It's a little black bottle about 1.5 inches (3.5 cm) or so tall. It has a black screw on top and a little hole for squeezing some out, looks kinda like the end of a watergun. It's a clear liquid, I can't really tell if its an oil or not. Came in a little ziplock of its own, no label or card, inside the bigger ziploc with the two Derby creme samplers, the 2 Booster after shaves, Ogalalla Bay rum soap, Pre de Provence Agrumes soap, and the JM Fraser shaving cream. Just wondering, you know?

Woo Hoo indeed!

Just a word of thanks.What a great sampler! So much variety that I'll be experimenting for at least a year. Very cool.
I've been lurking for a couple of months,but I'm glad my first post was a Thank you.

Nick,

This is great news. It is completely legal to ship alcohol-based products from the US to Canada via Fed-Ex Ground. (Prior to this, I thought we were stuck with illegal shipping via USPS, or nothing.)

Perhaps the cost might be a little bit more, but I (and perhaps others) are likely willing to pay it.

Please advise.
