Possibly Neverending Soap Passaround Box

Just so I understand, we post what we took out of the box in the thread.

Then we send you a PM of a pic of what we put in the box but don't post that in the thread.

And we never post a picture of the box's complete contents in the thread or as a PM to you?

Correct, I believe it's more fun to be surprised by the contents. Just check any of the other passarounds going on and you'll see how people are when they get the box.

It's also fun to see when people select something you contributed without knowing it was you who made the contribution.

I may also ask for a pic of the boxes contents periodically just to keep tabs on how it's looking and determine if any tweaks need to be made.

I agree. Just wanted to make sure I understood da rules.
 
So, are people buying soap to put in now? I mean, what happens if everyone bought basically the same thing and we end up with a box full of Stirling. Not saying that would be a bad thing :lol:, but wasn't sure if people were just getting some soap ahead of time to put in the box. 5 days doesn't leave you a lot of time to see what's in the box, decide what to get to put in, ordered and shipped to you in time to get it back out.

Just wondering what everyone is doing.

Haven't bought anything yet, and can't until after Christmas. I already have a good idea what to purchase, and since the box should be getting to me around Christmas, I'll be pulling the trigger ASAP.

I thought a little about this when I set this up which was part of the reason I started it with 13 different soaps. My thoughts were, by starting out with a moderately large pool, a duplicate soap would still leave room for some variety. Part of the reason for me asking for photos of what you are adding is so I can call an audible if needed. There may come a time where we have to institute a no (pick your soap) rule.

With so many great soaps and different scents out there, I'm fairly confident we won't have too much trouble with this. BTW, It won't hurt my feelings in the slightest if you fine gents bombard the box with MdC [SUB][/SUB]:thumbup:

As long as we're all putting in quality stuff we personally enjoy, I doubt anyone will get hurt feelings when the box arrives at their door.
 
Just a thought so please check with Jason to see if this is a possibility.

It sounds like Jason is going to take an active role in managing this thread so....

If Jason doesn't mind, and your turn is coming up....

Maybe if you have a concern about a specific soap you'd like to add you could probably just ask Jason as it sounds like he will know what is in the box at any given time. He can tell you to choose another if you are adding a duplicate without giving away the contents of the box and ruining the surprise for you.

Good call, if you are concerned with your choice don't hesitate to PM me.
 
I'm glad the box made it to you safely. Hopefully there are plenty of soaps you haven't tried yet in there. Enjoy!
 
Used the Synergy Cavendish this morning. The tin is simply huge. I wouldn't have been surprised to open it and find a movie reel. The size is perfect for loading a brush to face lather. Synergy is very easy to lather and held up really nice with my hard water. The slickness is great and my shave was very nice this morning. If I had one small complaint it would be that the scent is pretty light. I have read about this scent and I was expecting a slap you in the face pipe tobacco scent. It is nice smelling, but pretty faint. It would definitely not interfere with aftershaves or cologne. I will most definitely be coming back for more due to the ease of lather, stability, and slickness of the soap. Well done!
 
Nice review! The scent seemed like a good one for winter time. It will be interesting to see if anyone else adopts the larger tin size.

OKAllen has been added into the list today. I don't have a definitive limit right now for how many people can be in this passaround, but the list looks pretty manageable right now so I have no problem adding a few more guys. I'll probably have a better idea after I see how the box does over the next few weeks.
