Time to start a list of those interested in trying Joshs' Brass General. I'm copying and pasting Gus' pass around with tweaks to fit this one as he was thorough and successful in several of these. (Thanks Gus) and Especially thanks to Josh to share these for people to try !!!
The razor will arrive clean and sanitized. I'm requesting when your time is done with the razor, to clean, sanitize and repackage carefully as you received it and ship it to the next participant. Makes it easier and more enjoyable for all.
I anticipate in starting this pass-around within a week or so, so to those who have never tried and would be interested in taking the Brass General Razor for a test shave run, please read on..
General Requirements for Participation
Active TSC members in "good standing" are welcome to send me a PM regarding participating in the tour pass-around. I would suggest active and good standing infers you have been around B&B for at least a few months (3 months and at least 50-75 posts) and are participating in the community. If you are active on other shaving forums and are new to TSC, I will take that into consideration. And if you do not qualify today but have interest, you may become eligible as the tour unfolds..... so please feel free to send me a PM and I can add you to the "reserve" list.
Following are the rules which are simply intended to keep the tour fair, fun, and safe.
[list type=decimal][*] Please limit your time with the gear to 3-5 days. This should be enough time for some quality shaves and impressions. There will be exceptions, and if you know ahead of time your schedule will be limited (e.g., vacation, job constraints, travel) please let me know so we can adjust the order and keep the momentum going.[/list type=decimal]
[list type=decimal][*] The package will contain a Colonial Brass General razor and Josh included some Pro Guard blades to get it started. You're more than welcome to use your own of course. I'm not sure how many blades are in the holder but should allow a few to try the razor. Most here have the AC style blades for there own use and by using those it will leave these for those that may not have any on hand because they don't use AC blades. If we run out the person using the last 1 can pm me and I will send some to the next participant.[/list type=decimal]
[list type=decimal][*] I am shipping the razor clean and sterilized. Please do the same before handing it off to the next member. Simple Green, soapy hot water, Barbecide and Scrubby Bubbles are fine. No harsh chemicals that contain ammonia or bleach.[/list type=decimal]
[list type=decimal][*] Carefully wrap and ship the package as your means allow (e.g., USPS, UPS, FedEx). It will be shipping in a small Priority Mail flat rate box. If Priority Mail is a hardship, please switch to a clean, generic box and pack securely. Josh has requested that insurance be added to the shipping so that it has a total of $150. Total costs for Priority Mail & insurance should be considered as the "cost of admission" for the tour.[/list type=decimal]
[list type=decimal][*] Communicate. Please post in this thread when you receive the razor and when it ships. Upon receipt, please contact the next person on the list in order to have their shipping information on-hand when your time with the razor is over. Please PM me as needed or if you have any questions. It is never fun to track you down if you are in possession of the razor and have gone off the grid.[/list type=decimal]
[list type=decimal][*]Post Reviews! Please share your impressions, good or bad, with your fellow TSC members. I am in no way affiliated with the vendor and am simply sharing so that members can try the razor and share their experience.[/list type=decimal]
[list type=decimal][*]Last person with razor mails it back to Josh which is an overseas APO. If that is a hardship financially I can help you if you let me know. [*]Have FUN[/list type=decimal]
