Gone is a man that was saving our backsides before most of us were born, in a country most of us had never heard of. And after that lot he kept us safe from the scum in prisons. Darn it.. Then he goes and shares his knowledge to all of us about straight razor restoration etc..

Well this news has ruined my year and it's only a few days old. We need to cherish these characters and learn from their wisdom. RESPECT

Yes I can only agree,I sent him a pm to wish him and his family a happy new year and didn`t receive a reply ,I just assumed he was on holidays, this news has put a dampener on things. I cant speak for any one else ,but he will be sadly missed by yours truly, May be we should start a sticky come back Bill thread,even if you dont agree with his views he is certainly needed,I for one would not be making the progress that I am with out his help,but not withstanding that I like the old bugger and I would like to see him back
Kind regards peter

There is little point in doing that if he is not on the forum to read it.

In that case he'd get PMs as well.
And I haven't seen him in the active users list for a while.

This is really a shame - in my brief time here, I've learned much from both of these guys.

I think there's a lesson to be learned about starting overtly political threads on sites like this.

Its almost never the shaving-related threads that end this way, but the ones people start to spice things up. I have no idea what went on as I deliberately avoid political threads for this very reason. I've got no problem with debate or other's views, but its so easy for these sorts of things to go off the rails.

I've been on other fora relating to specific interests and have seen the same thing happen before.

I hope that Bill and Joe decide to participate on the forum again, but respect their decisions - regardless of whether we hear from them again.
