Bob is a great guy, I agree. We live in the same general neighborhood.
I noticed from his ebay listings that we live in the same town, so two or three years ago I shot him a response through a listing. He invited me over and we had a great time! Also, we share other interests than just straight razors. Last time I was there we would discuss something and he'd say, "you gotta see this", or "you would be interested in this". Just a fun guy.
