Okay...sorry guys...I was off to the bookstore to pick up a new cookbook.Hirlau..I guess most of the guys have the right ideas to the sell of the idea..as to the approach...well lemme put it this way.I had a resident at the condo where I work convert to DE.I tried to sell him on straights to no avail.But at least I got him off the cartridge.I use a DE alot myself because I stink at honing and stropping.That's a whole nuther rant though.Basically as we would converse(it helped he had a handle stache to begin with)I would bring up the joys of the ritual and how it relaxed me and all that.Then move on to the soothing discussion of soaps after shaves etc. and finally the costsaving. But I guess that's still considered the sell. I dunno.....I guess it's like food talk.Where I start by saying how I bought this Czech cookbook and how I've had Czech food and have a love for east european grub.I love dumplings with good hot beefy gravy over'em and chopped fresh parsley and dill.MMM have that with a side of browned Kielbasa or crispy shnitzel and some dill picles and a tall pilsner iced cold...damn yer in Prague baby !! That's how it works.....Hungry yet ??(wink) I don't know if that helps.....but I know I need to get in the kitchen pronto and make a snack ha ha ! Thanks for the friend request....you too White Lion.:chapeau
