I agree. I plan on getting the box one day and sending it out the next day. Are we gonna ship it USPS Priority Mail or UPS Ground? I we use UPS it would be to the next person in 1 day if they were close enough and it would be automatically insured up to $100. Priority Mail would be similar time frame, but most likely will be 2 days time and no insurance unless added.

sounds great! I've started the decant process and am ready to share!

Three days is more than plenty for me.

Just picked mine up in the mailbox so I'm going to get started. I completely spaced on the fact that I need to get labels for these things. Crap. What are we doing about shipping? I think Priority should be the way to go. Suggestions?

Priority sounds fine...

Just go to Walmart and get some address labels for labeling the atomizers.

I have a label-maker. If you want to tape a paper tag to each one I'll be glad to label the bottles.

Ok is anybody interested in wet shaving stuff? I can make samples of the following if there is interest:

Derby Extra blades
Treet blades
C.O. Bigelow shave cream (identical to Proraso)
e preshave oil
The Gentlemans Refinery Black Ice shave cream
D. R. Harris & Co. Pink after shave
Proraso liquid cream after shave
The Art of Shaving pre-shave oil
The Art of Shaving shaving cream
Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna shave cream
Floris Natural Benefits Soothing Skin Balm with Aniseed, Dill and Monoi de Tahiti
Musgo Real shave cream
The Body Shop Maca Root shave cream
Arko Shave Cream

^^ I have too much shaving gear to speak of (and I consider myself a minimalist, but enough of my delusions), but I've never tried Musgo. Is it good stuff, or just middle of the pack?

BTW: have you tried any soaps from TGQ? I have a few of her samples that I've still not gotten around to cracking open, and given the recent Tabac binge...it probably won't happen this year, either.

Well I'd say Musgo is just middle of the pack... serviceable, but nothing to write home about. I'll put some in the box so you can at least try it out and see what you think... Also, can we all comment on what we like/don't like? Or is that not necessary? I haven't tried any soaps from TGQ yet... if you don't think you'll get around to them, throw 'em in the box!

I just got rid of all my creams and soaps so I'm out of that game. I do have some Gentlemans Refinery pre-shave oil and aftershave if anyone wants to try it. I just went over my samples and there must be 50 packets of Kiehls and Jack Black in there to try. I'm going to hit up the mall today and see if I can stock up on any more goodies.

Thomas, I'll paper tape my large atomizers and if you could make a label for them that would be great. You wanted all three of the L'Artisans right? I'm putting them in there anyways but I'll fill them to the brim if you need to decant a good sample.

No offense, but I have zero interest in shaving products. I'm a orange-cap Edge gel and Gillette Fusion Power guy.

 

[MCsommerreid]

I'll throw in a vote for wet shaving stuff. Perhaps we can convert some of the heathens *cough* joel *cough*

Same here, never really desired anything more than Gillette.
