Possibly Neverending Soap Passaround Box

[Corsair66]

Ah. I swore off restraint years ago and have been much happier since! Everything in moderation, including moderation!

So, I made my selection this morning but I wasn't able to leave work to make it to the post office before they closed, so I'll have it shipped tomorrow morning priority mail.

I've been wanting to try Razorock Bee's Knees out of curiosity of the bee's wax in it. The vintage Williams Tonsorial just sounds cool. And I've been wanting to try Mike's for a while but they were out of commission for a while and then I got so many other soaps that I haven't tried to order any since his shop came back online, so when I saw Mike's peppermint and it smells like a candy cane, well, 'tis the season.

A reminder, there's 5 free samples of Stirling Clubman (Pinaud Clubman scent) given to me by Rod for the passaround box. They don't count towards your swap, so if you'd like to keep a sample, feel free. Big thanks to Rod for his contribution.

Nice Haul! I knew the Williams wouldn't last long. Let us know how the soaps perform. I'm curious about the Bee's Knees myself.
Gents, If you take one of the Clubman samples, please give a little review on it. Rod was nice enough to give these to us for free so I think it's the least we can do.

The box looks to be moving along quite nicely, and the contributions have been top notch. So thank you for that!

SilentTuba, let me know if you need to move back another position on the list. cpacamper, are you prepared to get moved up a slot on the list if need be?

[SilentTuba]

You forgot Corsair on your list!

 

[Corsair66]

Thanks! I wouldn't want to be skipped by accident...

[SilentTuba]

I would be ok with moving down another spot, but I believe cpacamper is in the GRUC, also.

 

[Demaskee]

Didn't mean to erase you there Corsair66

 

[Corsair66]

No problemo - I didn't even notice; I think it was the middle of the night here. I close my eyes for a few hours and look what happens...

The box is on its way to Kotton, tracking #13103060000039898818. The receipt says it's scheduled to arrive Monday.

FYI, $200 worth of insurance only costs $3.05, so I did that.

Kotton, I used the old box as stuffing, so don't be alarmed when you open it and it looks like shredded USPS boxes.

 

[SilentTuba]

Actually, I think I should still be ok....let's leave it for now.

 

[coryforsenate]

I should also mention that the box I used was a medium priority mail box, which allowed a little breathing room that I filled with stuffing.

After adding my contributions plus the 5 Stirling Clubman samples, it would not longer fit in the medium regional rate box that arrived at my door (i.e. priority box is bigger than regional box), so a little heads up when future folks pack the soaps and ship 'em.

 

[cpacamper]

I am in GRUC, but I am probably ok following SilentTuba.

I am in GRUC, but I am probably ok following SilentTuba.

Copy that, I'll watch closely and make adjustments as necessary. I know there are some guys behind you two that already have their soaps chosen so it shouldn't be an issue.

 

[Corsair66]

Boy, the GRUC guys really take the whole restraint thing seriously. Can't see it, myself, but different strokes, right?

Ken

 

[Demaskee]

Since you guys are doing a great job at keeping the box moving, archimedes5044 has agreed to move up two positions to keep SilentTuba and cpacamper from breaking the GRUC. The new list reflects this change.

That is a nice haul. I have yet to try my RazoRock Fresco but, I did try my Mikes Rose and Cederwood which is amazing.

USPS says it was delivered this morning.

Enjoy the box!

 

[Demaskee]

Don't be alarmed if you don't hear from Kotton right away. He's taking his finals this week and had the box mailed to his parent's house. He'll be making his pick on Friday and should have the box in the mail on Saturday.

 

[coryforsenate]

I can't wait to hear from Kotton.
