So big the postage was over a tenner when I had itWe did actually have a newbie box that got so big it became 2 separate passarounds as people were generous and added more stuff. However I have no idea what became of either of these.
It's a tricky one if people start lending forum passarounds beyond the forum. I guess the member will be liable but the whole thing is based on trust and trying to ask for a deposit would probably kill it in its tracks.
Shame in a way, because I definitely benefitted from borrowing Martin's Fatboy, I bought my Slim because I liked the FB, which I probably wouldn't have if I had not had that chance.
Yeah that would be crap if someone made off with the newbie boxes. They were impressive looking and a great idea.So big the postage was over a tenner when I had itIf someone's buggered off with the newbie boxes that's a shame. If I recall some members went to a lot of effort to restock and upgrade them a while ago
So, You're the one that Buggered Off with itI could be wrong but I think the boxes are still going - just waiting on some new folk to request them? @Tony'schin might know
All part of the Emporium’s wares now…
What do you think?Hi all.
I was thinking of starting a passaround with a few types of different shaving software and hardware.
I think it would be a good idea to have an inventory of what is in the box and this gets confirmed by the next person receiving the box.Thanks everyone.
It would be good to know if the passaround mentioned by Tony'schin is still active; I may even get myself on the list if so.
I'll take @dodgy up on his offer of the blades. Thanks! It may take a few weeks for the blades to arrive from the States so how about I include a few blades from your recent parcel to me in the passaround and then whatever you send on I will keep for myself?
Since my shaving inventory is compiled and up-to-date with my latest additions I will have a look through to see what I can bear to part with. To manage people's expectations it's likely to be a low value razor, one or two soap samples and a selection of unusual modern and vintage blades. I'm not sure it's really worth including easy to get blades like Astras, 7 o'clock or Feathers. I'll include a couple of the Neepsend blades for sure, and maybe a few English Wilkies if you're lucky
I don't think a deposit scheme would be practicable. Let's keep it friendly and above all easy to manage. I will ask people from the UK to get their names on a list and draw one at random in a few days.
Once I've sent it on to the first person it's up to them how, when and to whom they send it on to, but try to contribute at least one thing before moving it on and don't take the piss!
We could upload a photo every time to package is sent on, so people can see how the contents are evolving over time and to drum up interest, but ultimately that's up to each recipient.
More details to follow soon, and welcoming input in the meantime.
Yes, I think a list or a photo would be a good idea.I think it would be a good idea to have an inventory of what is in the box and this gets confirmed by the next person receiving the box.
I donated soaps, blades and a Schick injector razor to go into the box and at some point the razor and injector blades went missing!, If an inventory had been in place then maybe the razor would not have gone missing! Just an idea.
