Am I the only one?
Well I picked up a big Thater recently and I can absolutely
tell the difference.

However soap, water, method, experience and expectations differ
so each of us will see this differently.

Some years ago when I lived near Taho the local Ford dealer
gave away ski lift tickets if you took a test drive in a new
PickEmUp truck. I would drive my old truck in take a
test drive and golly want a new truck. To be fair to myself
I would then also critically test drive my OLD truck and find
it was a durn fine truck too and I did not need the new shiny
one.

I catch myself doing the same thing with shave kit.
New razor, new soap, new brush I always want to dance
with the new one in town -- bottom lines it is GOSH
hard to evaluate quality products and not bias the evaluation.

But there are differences....
And if they matter to you it is worth the effort
it takes to find the right one no mater which is
right for you -- $150 Thater or $7.95 VDH or whatever
what ever floats you boat....

BTW I very much enjoy both my $150 Thater and my $7.95 VDH,
for what they are both are bargains.
