Newbie Pass Around

It's actually very hard to find an accurate non-accusatory phrase, but there has been neither sight nor sound of it for long enough

As for the new box, I believe that helping newcomers to wetshaving is more important than hoarding unwanted shaving stuff in my "den".

I actually share these honourable intentions having run 4 PIFs and contributed towards 2 Newbie Boxes over the last 2 years and applaud anybody else who does the same.



This I'm afraid is not how passarounds work. The clue is in the name. People generously do the same with rare and / or expensive razors. Are these up for grabs too?

A passaround is a loan, a PIF is a gift. Muddying the waters is not in anybody's interest.
 

I've sent you a package. It will be with you tomorrow.
 
I'm afraid that it's how my passaround works, and I believe in giving folks the benefit of the doubt, until proven otherwise.
The apparent actions of the Scottish brothers doesn't diminish my faith in the integrity of the rest of the membership on here.
 

You should consider starting one then using your own unique rules and call it something entirely different so it's very clear to both potential donor and recipient that passing on the items for the benefit of others is really 'optional'

The integrity issue is totally separate. Standard passarounds rely upon it as do a lot of other things here. I too believe that 99+% of the membership here play with a straight bat, but making a concept which works and has clear boundaries, vague and ambiguous, just invites problems
 
I think I may well PIF or pass it forward ( wouldn't want to be seen as a child who could not be bothered to type the whole string of words in to the post) things that could have gone into a pass-around box, it's a shame that one or two people have taken advantage of the generous folk on here who have donated all sorts of shaving goods to what should have been a very good cause. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me!

Sean,..this discussion isn't going to end well, so I suggest it ends here.
On second thoughts,..I am determined that it ends here.
