    Default Australia - not so remote!

    Hi all,

    I remember feeling hard done by in Perth. The lack of local shaving supplies, the distance and the (often) exorbitant postage. 4 months in the Cayman Islands now and I realise that it can always be worse. We're only a few hundred km's from Miami, but postage down here takes forever (I've done a 4 week wait so far), and many US sellers won't even ship here! Lucky we have friends/family that visit us every now and again!

    So remember... be thankful for what you have!

    James

    Maybe postage sucks , but living in the islands is supposed to be laid back!! If I could afford it I wouldn't even have a phone living there. Lol. Hope your enjoying otherwise. Tc

    Given the weather we've had in the midwest lately, think a few of us would gladly trade locations with you and we'd be willing to accept a bit of delayed postal gratification!

    Think the only time I wait 4 weeks in Perth is when buying from China with free postage.

    Was just wondering about you the other day James as had another local over for honing. Hope you and the family are well

    Yeah, got it. Surprised you made it to 5 posts...All the same. Tell me, are your Boker razors shave ready, and do you have any platypus hides for sale?
