    Deeply sad and shocking news.

    I purchased a couple of small items from him in the past, and indeed he honed my first ever straight razor. I subsequently learned to hone myself, and restored my own razors. A little less than two years ago I sold a James Tilford 5/8 square point that I got off ebay along with a couple of other razors - it had only really needed rescaling and honing. The address I was posting to looked familiar due to my purchases from Neil, and I messaged the buyer asking if I was indeed selling to Neil Miller - albeit Neil Miller using an eBay pseudonym!

    His reply? "I am that soldier!" Subsequent conversation was mainly me worrying that my honing skills were certainly going to be well judged! He was kind enough to come back to me upon receipt of the razor, praising the job I had done honing it. Of course... he could have been humoring me!

    Rest easy Neil. The immense knowledge of your craft, will live on in these pages.

    Regards,

    Alastair.

    Rest in Peace, Neil.

    I had the pleasure of just getting to know him via messages we sent back and forth.
    A great man and was straight forward in his information. I will truly miss him and so will others.

    Breaks my heart knowing he is gone.....BUT he will never be forgotten!
    Is it over there or over yonder?

    I read this tonight.. My condolences to his family. Like many here he helped me out by doing hours of research on the provenance of a razor I purchased. It was very kind of him and I will all ways remember that- I stored his PM to my hard drive because it was so thoughtful of him, and important to me- I am saddened. "Well liked and respected" is a great tribute. Rest in peace Neil.

    Not a day has gone by when I haven't thought of Neil. Neil was smarter than me and I never cared.

    Indeed, He was smarter than me and I enjoyed it!
