The Great Canadian Pass Around Box 6 (Signup + the round) CTB6

[Luc]

I’d love to get in on this but I rarely have time to experiment with shaving stuff these days. As it is I really only shave once a week. Maybe another time...

All right, so I will not include you.

This is the sign-up closure. No more sign-ups from this point.

EDIT2 - Wow, 1 province over and I get 7 days for delivery. You live far Marc!

It currently shows as unavailable for now, I'm guessing they need to punch it somewhere in their system. The parcel is going your way @maxman

For those interested.
Box: 4.306kg
Total with taxes was 29.91$

Looking at the Canada Post website, this is a medium-sized Flat rate box labeled at 24.99$. On my bill, I have 23.07$ for the box and 5.42$ for a fuel surcharge. I don't know if the 24.99$ box also has a surprise 5.42$ on top (before taxes). If my calculations are correct(24.99+5% tx), a new box would cost 26.23$ with taxes. It's not that much, but buying a new box to mail it after might be cheaper.

I will update post 1 in a few seconds. We won't go linear this time.

Box has arrived!!! I will be opening it after dinner and chores are done. I’m excited to see what’s in it.

 

[Luc]

Nice! I hope you enjoy it!

 

[maxman]

This box is wild! It's full to the brim with all sorts of goodies. Things I've wanted to try for a while.
Luc, is that a Legion Moo-Roo? It sure looks like one. I nicked mine up so badly it became unusable.

I'll post more as I go along. I have no idea how I'm going to repack this box. Tomorrow, the fun begins.

Yes, that's a Moo-Roo strop! Enjoy!

Gents, I totally forgot about the picture. I'll post that tonight. Stay tuned.

Howdy gentlemen. Because of undo circumstances I am going to have to ask to have my name removed from the list. I won't have time because work and life are crazy right now. I will have to wait until next round.

 

[Luc]

No worries but the next round is very likely (if it happens) to be in 2025.

 

[maxman]

The box. Unpacked for all to see. It really covers all the bases. So much awesome stuff in here.

The small bag of fragrances

Nice! Nothing leaked?

Nothing!

Today's shave was the black DE razor. Not sure what brand that is, I'm going to guess Razorock? Derby Premium blade, Musgo Real cream, Floid original aftershave.
A very smooth shave with this combo but very mild at the same time.
I've wanted to try the Derby Premium and Floid for a while.

So far, so good.

 

[Luc]

Correct, that DE razor is the RazoRock Baby smooth.

I've been wanting to try a Yaqui brush for a while. Got my chance today. I really like it but not enough backbone for me. just a little too floppy. Stirling soap and Aftershave with the Parker Injector. The Stirling soap was OK. lathered up fine, nothing to really write home about there. Not as cushioning as most other soaps but slick so it did the job. The Mountain Man aftershave smelled like straight up alcohol when smelling the bottle but when applying it, you really got the scent. Stirling scents are wonderful. Very rich and do really like them but not enough to want to purchase them. Glad I got to try them in this box.
The Parker Injector razor is not too shabby. Not like other injectors I've owned. It's not my favourite but everyone needs to try an injector at least once or twice. I'll probably stick with it for a few shaves just to put it through its paces.

 

[Luc]

Which setting did you use on the injector?

 

[linty1]

Great pic, its kinda cool to see one of my items still there. Lots of neat stuff.

 

[maxman]

Which setting did you use on the injector?

3 when I started. Today was 4.

 

[maxman]

Ok, was out of town Friday and Saturday. Today I used the Injector again, this time bumped it up a notch to 4. Still a nice shave. I think this has run it's course for me. I do like injectors but they just don't wow me enough. Chiseled Face soap. I like this one. It lathered up nice and gave a nice cushioned shave. Skipped the aftershave today but did use the Grand Soir fragrance. I really liked the scent of this fragrance. More importantly, my wife liked it. So I guess a bottle of that is in my future.

I'm on a better shift at work tomorrow so I can play a bit with things and not be strapped for time.

Ahhh my old friend Tabac. I ran out 10 years ago and just never replaced it. Time to take it for a spin again. Nice, slick lather. Easy to get lather too. Don't have to work very hard with Tabac. Lord blade in that long-handled silver DE razor.
The razor and blade combo tugged a little bit and you could hear it cutting from a mile down the street. Sounded like someone pulling apart Velcro. Not going to use this razor again. I'll put the Lord blade in another DE and try again some other day.

On a side note, have a VERY careful look how this box is packed when you unpack it. It is full to the brim, and I struggled to put stuff away. It's like a clown car.
