[Sign-ups] Avast's Early Summer/Late Spring Lesser Known Box Pass!
Post Body

Welcome to the first annual AESLSLKBP! Yep, sticking to that.

So, after running it by the mods to make sure I can curate and operate a /r/Wet_Shavers only box pass, I'm going to move forward with sign-ups, rules, regulations, and other cool items of note!

I'm going to be completely honest with everyone, I'd like to jump start the summer with some lesser known artisans/brands/whatever and shake off the Winter comforters. It's all pretty self-explanatory, but in summary:

  • I'm going to curate the box, and fill it with around $75-100 (so not a huge box) worth of (mostly) soaps, possibly some aftershaves. It will have (mostly) less-talked about products in it. Whether they're just harder to get, not well known, or whatever. Lesser talked about does not mean worse quality, and I will not put in anything that I wouldn't personally vouch for.
  • I will be taking sign-ups for the pass in this post. DO NOT PM ME, YOU MUST POST IN THIS THREAD.
  • This will be a tight, efficient pass to make it back before the end of the summer. That means that:
  • I will ONLY accept up to 10 people, and
  • I will ONLY consider you if you are an active W_S contributor, and a panel of judges (that I haven't picked yet) agrees that you are trustworthy.
  • If you are in Canada and would like to participate, you will be required to make up the difference in shipping with the person sending you the box. Unless of course the sender is fine with eating the additional cost.
  • I will establish a shipping schedule/route as soon as all sign-ups are confirmed.
  • I am debating doing a "good-faith" up front deposit of $10 or so, to be returned once the box reaches its next destination. I know some people may not like that, but I think it might keep people honest and limit sign-ups to those that are serious.

The rules!

  • The only direct cost will be shipping.
  • Each passee will have 1 week with the box max. Please have at least a few items ready to throw in before it gets to you. In the case of sudden emergencies, you will be required to PM me, and I will post an update. If it's going to be greater than a 2 week lag time, if possible PLEASE post ahead, and I will re-arrange the pass schedule to either try and get to you at a later date, or have you replaced. If not possible...well...something will be figured out.
  • Each passee is REQUIRED to post a picture, in this sub, of all of the items in the box at the time of receiving
  • To keep it exciting, I require that you do NOT post what you pulled out of the box.
  • You MUST place at least 1 new thing in the box. Even if you do not pull something.
  • You MUST maintain or increase value with your pulls and placements.

What I need!

I need you to sign up! I'd like to see around 4-5 seasoned wet shavers who can really throw in some great stuff, and 5-6 "newer" people who maybe haven't been able to try said stuff.

Please post if you want to participate. This isn't an interest check (so please no "I'd be interested if...") I will be sending some PMs to some of you throughout the day to help me narrow it down to just 10. If you are not picked, please do not be offended. Keep posting/discussing etc, and I plan on doing this a couple times a year at least, so you can get in on the next one.

Finally, if you are a long-time sub member/wet shaver, please do not relinquish the spot for the sake of other people. I need you guys to help make this box great!
