Newbie Pass Around

The boxes are expected this week, the recipient has received tracking details for one of them and the custodian of the other deemed it a disappointment and received the details of the next recipient last Monday, but has been too busy to post it on.
There is no mention of any items, "gone missing",...as yet.
OK. I misunderstood the issue. Let me know if you need to email anyone.
 
Just got a pm from Mbarn saying package was delivered safe and sound. The one I had was the original along with a second that was put together before the first one turned up. 6.3kg lol

Anyone know what the wee gillette de In there is? Looks like a tech but I'm. Not certain.
 
It warms my heart to see our Passaround boxes back on track and apparently, thriving, and appreciated, most of the time. These passarounds illustrate the generosity of members of the site and their willingness to remember when we all started out and the plethora of products that we had heard of, but had no idea what they were like to use.
Just as an aside, if you have anything surplus to requirements, while passing it forward to one person is laudable, but after sampling it, they may not like it and it may remain in a cupboard, or again filling RM's coffers to pass it on again, please consider posting it to the next custodian of the box in order that many more can benefit from your generosity. (I can always supply an address for the custodian).
On a sourer note, I do hope that the ungracious people who rushed to another site to take pleasure in the boxes' disappearance,..nay,.."literally half-inched",..will be just as speedy to report their successful resurgence on there.
You know who you are.
 
I have just received from @Mbarn notification of the contents of our box as received from @Reavers , and |I have to say, I'm farking impressed.
It contains:
5 pre shave items
19!!..soaps and creams
3 brushes
5 DErazors Futur clone,Slim twist, Gillette Pocket, Muhle, Gillette Guard
3 straights
6 post shaves inc BBA Award winning PS and f'ace Moisturiser
BBA hair products inc pomade, clay and gel
Various blades and soap samples, strop,BBA samples
6 Nanny's soap samples
Mbarn reports that the Barbicide had leaked in transit and soaked the contents, but all was saved apart from some samples........at least everything is now nicely disinfected...ARF!!!
Thanks to all who have contributed to this superb passaround box.

I am very impressed with the contents.

There are certain items which would have taken me a few years to get to try, and some I may never have tried, so I am thankful for all involved in setting up the box!

I'll keep for my 2 weeks and post on.

Nice one, Mike,...2 weeks is very fair considering the amount in there to sample:)
 
U said 3 straights? I put in a modified gold dollar with strop along with the barbicide. Davie (nixon1845) put in a shavette, can't remember there being any others...

I shave 7 days a week, so I'll do my best to try most items.

I wish there was another thread to chat and share feedback on the contents, but it would probably spoil it for anyone else who receives the box.

Are we running a sweep on how long it takes to get it all nicked again?
Neither box has been nicked.
We don't all have perfect lives like some obviously do and sometimes life gets in the way of our best-laid plans.
Although concerns were raised about them, there were good reasons given and no blame laid at anyone's door.
We now have two excellent boxes ready to continue their rounds and long may the generosity of our members allow them to do so.

I think it's fine to discuss it on here Mike, it will give future recipients something to look forward to and encourage other newbies to put their names forward.
By the looks of the list, I'll be putting my name down again!

Some of my stuff was in one that went missing. I have had a box, took nothing out and added some in as is the custom my stuff went missing along with others. That will happen again if no steps are taken it'll get pinched again, although I hope not. I have read of one box totally going astray and another having all the decent stuff pilfered. Is this the case or not? I dont have a perfect life but I do have an honest one.
 
No,...it is not the case. Where did you get that from?
Neither box has gone missing. There is no reason to even assume that anything has been pilfered.
One box was delayed due to a family bereavement another box was started by a member who received the original box and combined them and due to personal circumstances, which need not be made public, he had difficulty accessing where the box was being kept.
This box has now been received by the next in line.
A box was put together in the meantime by myself and it is now in the possession of a member who will equal the two boxes out and post them on to alternate members on the waiting list. This hopefully will reduce the waiting time, as we will have two excellent boxes on the go.
Hope that helps.
