As is tradition, this is not a drill! We have collected 47 of the 48 payments over the weekend, communicated all the last minute address changes and recipient changes to Ulrik, and paid a ridiculous amount of money for group-themed shave implements. The last phase of Operation Moarteen is thus initiated.

Project Moarteen Organising Committee (PMOC/OCPM), take a breath. What are you talking about?

We're done, the razors are paid, Ulrik has our money, he'll ship the razors.

But PMOC, you said that only 47 of the 48 payments have been made‽

Yes, there is one straggler we can't reach, and we've been impatient. That person's razor will be held back by Ulrik until further notice. We hope that this will give the missing person enough time to figure out what they're about to miss and pay up. We think that giving two weeks, until Mon, Apr 21, 23:59:59 GMT, should be a fair amount of time. If we don't get payment until then, we'll offer the razor to the people on the wait list for purchase.

That's great, PMOC, so what happens now?

Ulrik thinks it'll take him about a working day to get all the customs documents squared away, so we should expect to get shipping info in our e-mail addresses sometime Wednesday or latest on Thursday (always Austrian time, or CEST).

PMOC?

Yes?

I can't believe we collected 98% of the money over the weekend!

Neither can we! This is amazing, thank you very much r/wetshaving for being the best group buy enablers and participants! ♥

Great news! Thanks so much to the organizers and to Ulrik!

Ulrik is the real legend. Getting these razors done during a very busy year was remarkable.

Hooray!

Great success.

I can't wait to cut myself with it.

[-] gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social 5 points 1 week ago

Very happy you were onboard with this.

[-] snooting@sub.wetshaving.social 4 points 1 week ago

I too can’t wait to cut myself with this.

Now I guess I should buy a strop…

[-] djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 4 points 1 week ago

Yes, that would be advisable 😅

Thanks! It was a team effort, @gcgallant and Koraat-Ulrik did a lot of the heavy lifting

So since I'm at this point obviously weeks if not month too late to join the party allow me the question: what did I just miss out on? A sub exclusive Koraat knife?

[-] snooting@sub.wetshaving.social 2 points 1 week ago

A sub-exclusive Koraat straight razor

[-] ItTakesTwo@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

Thanks! Guess I should keep a close eye on future sub exclusives from now on...
