I've got some samples and bits I'm keen to pass on gents so when the box hopefully reappears would someone Send me a pm with the current holder of the box?
Cheers gents

Thank you, Brad.
For everyone else, Brad has sent 9 samples of Nanny Silly Soap - ice & a slice smells amazing.
He has also sent a Gillette Guard cartridge razor, and 6 blades.

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.
Ah, I seem to remember hearing the original box had gone missing in action around the time @Reevers got involved. Emma from BBA added some items and a second box started doing the rounds. I wasn't aware the first box had re surfaced. Please accept my apologies it seems I got my wires crossed and jumped in with both feet before being in charge of the full facts. I apologise for my comments unreservedly.

Hi Wayne, no problem, but the record needed putting straight.
As, I presume,does your tagging of @Reevers, who has just become embroiled in the saga.
I assume you meant @Reaver

Gents - I'm informed you're next to receive the boxes, so please PM me your postal address.

One box will be ready to be shipped by DPD on Monday, the other the following Monday, subject to getting addresses in time.

I'd like to thank all who donated to create the boxes. It has been a fantastic experience, and helped cement my love for shaving.

My only comments on the boxes for other newbies is if you get the one with the badger brush, it is an absolute bugger to build quality lather, so I recommend you try that brush last, or you'll get the wrong impression of the quality of the soaps. The boar/synth brushes are completely the opposite, and lather with ease. It could be my technique or could be the brush.

I have added some Proraso Pre-shave, a new bottle of Witch Hazel, almost full Proraso sensitive balm, and a few packs of Gillette Platinum and a few packs of Gillette Silver Blue.

As an FYI, I've kept the 25% full Barbicide added by Reaver. The reason is because the cap doesn't seal properly, and because of this, the other 75% leaked in the box during transit to me. You'd be as well cleaning any razors with a toothbrush and antibacterial hand soap.

Thanks again guys!

Thanks Mike,...
Members of the forum NB,....Please don't take for granted Mike's contribution to the whole point of Newbie Passaround.
He has volunteered to receive both boxes, clean up, collate and organise both boxes, make a hefty contribution to the boxes and to post them on at his own expense.
Thanks Mike:)
While we're on the subject of members contributing to the forum,....
This is the type of thing that we sometimes take for granted here on TSR and it just highlights the camaraderie engendered by the enjoyment of a shared hobby.
Every day you see members gifting stuff on to other members for them to try, members trusting others with, sometimes, very expensive razors, and all they expect in return is that, given the opportunity, they will return the favour.
I will probably embarrass someone now, but I have been helped enormously by a guy on here called Paul, almost always first with advice on nearly every question asked on the site. Hardly a day goes by without someone tagging him for sending them a few blades/soap sample/razor loan.
He epitomises the spirit of the forum and is a great guy as well.
If ever there is an award for "Poster of the Year", the winner has to be......
(....wait for 25 seconds)....Take a bow @Blademonkey
