The post office can take 1-2 weeks to deliver any supplies you order from them. Keep that in mind if your local post office doesn't carry padded envelopes.

“Also, as requested by Rod (ezlovan), please put the razors and cases in the provided box and ship the razors off to the next person in a priority mail flat rate padded envelope ONLY!!”
Come on guys, there is literally no excuse not to follow Rod’s shipping instructions. Even if your local post office doesn’t have the padded envelopes in stock, they will ship them to you completely free....

Following Rod’s simple and straightforward wishes is the (very cheap) price of admission for this pass around.
My wife did the post office run and I gave her verbal instructions on the padded envelope. The post office did not have padded envelopes so she made a judgement call. I hope everyone can forgive us. If anything was damaged we'll take care of it.

Most post offices don't keep padded envelopes in stock. (At least that's been my experience.). If you're on the passaround list, I'd suggest ordering some now so you have them in hand when it's your turn.

Mine hands me a stack of like 15 at a time. I'll try to remember to put a few extra in there. Just keep them going down the line and replenish if you can for others. Just don't count on them always being in there. If you are further down the line.................order/get some now in preparation

the best way to avoid the priority mail padded envelope issue is to throw an extra one in the package if you have a few when you ship it off to the next person in line. I've never seen a local USPS here that has stocked those...and I ship a lot of stuff so I'm in the USPS frequently.

I may be able to get 3 in there but others will have to come thru too

Razor: ezlovan Stirling 316 SS Standard Head
Blade: Wizamet (2)
Brush: Rubberset 400 Clouds Ferrule/Cashmere
Soap: Dragonsbeard Ethos Succes
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Ethos Succes Skin Food Splash
Talc: Vintage Mennen
Fragrance: Ethos Succes EdP
So I had another shave with the ST (Standard) Head and got a close comfortable shave. The fit, finish and tolerances on the razor are great. They are going to be a hit for The Stirling family for sure. After today's shave I have come to the conclusion that while I can get a comfortable and close shave, they are just more aggressive than I desire or need for my daily shaving routine and so probably not a fit for me. I thank Rod for making this pass possible and will get these mailed today so as to expedite it to others waiting for the chance to try them out. Back to Knoxville as Bill is getting moved to a regular room as they get him to a point he is mobile enough to go home. Have a great day DFS !!!

Razors have been cleaned and alcohol bathed and packaged up. I could only fit 2 extra envelops in without over stretching the package. Shipping this morning to Les gvw755
