It looks pretty good. I'd probably try and find a way to make it just a little more concise although I don't know how that might be possible with it as it stands. I only say so because too much info is a killer for most people. Hook 'em with the intro and then present them with a delicious idea that they'll not be able to stop thinking about. The rest will come in time.

I've posted this at my local CL. We'll see what kind of response it garners, but you can see it for yourself here. If you want to post this in your local area, feel free to copy and paste it to yours. I just placed it in the general section of the community board.

Great ad! I like the title a lot. I think it'll really prompt lots of people to read it out of curiosity. Think of another couple of clever titles like that, re-post it a few more times and I'll bet you get a lot more hits on StraightRazorPlace over the next few weeks.

I just wanted to follow up with this and let people know that I cannot post this in multiple cities. The system comes back and tells me I already have a very similar ad posted in Portland. So it goes back to people having to post this in their local city themselves. If you run into the same problem I do, try and tweak the title and/or body text a little. If you have any issues posting, feel free to contact me.

Hey guys, I just started using a Feather SR that was recommended by Ray DuPont at ClassicShaving.com. The best way to describe how it feels to get a quality barbershop shave at home to someone who's never used a SR is this: it's the same feeling I get after a good haircut - the ego's a bit larger and the confidence level's a bit higher. It truly is an art. It's akin to a painter and his paintbrush who uses gentle but precise strokes. I implore all men to give SR shaving a chance. Trust me, you won't be disappinted.

Great website!
