Glad you found something you like! Keep the cream in the box and you can have your pick of my Musgos the next time we meet.
And yes, I have another Spiced Citrus still in the cello-wrap!

That's right!Agreed. I won’t even touch the colognes as an example. I have wayyyy too many as it is.
As people are asking about the adding and removing rules… there are no real rules. Honour system. Just don’t take a bunch of good stuff and add a couple of crappy items.I can’t see that happening with this crowd in any case.
See @Luc post above and Luc correct me if I am off base, but a recipient may fall in love with a vintage Gillette razor and a Palmolive or Tabac stick and some blades that haven’t tried as an example, so keep them but add some cool items that others may like to try.
In my case, I tried Musgo Real for the first time and loved it, so that cream is staying with me. I replaced it with a hard to find Palmolive stick (I paid $3 for them years ago) as it is very desirable and I won’t miss it as I have a few. I also took a few tucks of blades (added some new ones), a Razorock razor stand and maybe a couple other little items. I will add much more than I took as I have way too much stuff but everyone is different.
Good shave today with the Gem MicroMatic. I tried to figure out the AutoStrop and gave up! No idea how to use that thing.
The Gada soap from Lebanon is very nice as well. There are two different scented tubes that were not in the last pic I posted and they will be in the box. Also a Lea cream.

Sounds good!

The feather blades that I put in with the valet will fit. You need to slide the blade on the part that moves. Then, swing the blade down (watch your fingers) and press the little level behind the head to fix the blade in the comb. You are good to go after that.
Not the same model (I think) but the instructions should give you a very fair idea: Autostrop Instructions - https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/autostrop-instructions.605459/#post-11195596

Looking forward to playing with this with whatever this box contains when it gets to the West Coast. I'm a daily shaver so should be able to experiment with a lot of it.
I'm looking forward to trying a few items in the box as well. Perhaps I may even try the straight. Depends on if if it's still there by the time it get's to me and, to a greater extent, if I chicken out or not

Can confirm.Correct. We are meeting up on Friday to do the handoff.
@linty1 and I met up today. The box is on the move!
Thanks @linty1 for the coffee and it was great to meet up.
I mentioned to Linty1 that we are hoping to meet for a drink or coffee in the spring/fall with @rockviper and @Balin and anyone else in the GTA that is interested. Maybe do a few swaps as we all have way too much stuff that isn’t likely used a lot. More to come on that…

Package received! And boy its -hefty-... this might already be over the weight limit on the flat boxes... or getting close (I think the limit is 5kg?)
Glad to finally meet you @SharpieB after last times drop off. I have my hands full for today but I'll dive in when I get the chance to.

@linty1, I believe the smaller Canada Post boxes are 5kg. But, the one above will allow you to send a heavier box. That being said, it's only if you use the prepaid boxes. It might be cheaper to repackage a box and go to the counter. I think that you can enter the measurements and weight in the Canada Post app to give you an idea.
You need to keep some of the heavier items then!
