    I never got the chance to meet or even have a conversation with Neil. I have saw examples of his fine work and was very impressed. It seems that he had quite a following in our community, and it saddens us all that such a person is no longer with us. My thoughts and prayers are with Neils family through these tough times.

    I didn't know him, but his work was wonderful and his comments were always very very informative and full with knowledge.
    RIP Neil and my prayers are with Neils family.

    I've been away from the forum(s) quite some time, heard earlier today about Neil's passing...

    My sincere condolences to his wife, family, friends; may his soul rest in peace. I did have a number of dealings with Neil since 2010, and am fortunate enough to own a few of his top end strops (including a lovely magnetic). He was a very special person and I wish I had the chance to meet him in person.

    Also away for a bit and just now saw news of Neil passing. Simply gutted. No words are adequate to express my empty sadness at the thought of SRP without Neil. The loss of his encyclopedic knowledge regarding our community, and certainly his incredible, wacky sense of humor make me think that SRP will be a bleaker place without Neil to school us, laugh with us, with a good heart make fun of us, guide and help us. Never met Neil in person, but consider him a dear friend. So many times belly laughing at Neil's prose...Sweet and nurturing thoughts to his loved ones. Your Neil (Our Neil) remains among us by virtue of his wonderful character.

    Dave- next time you're in IC, the first one is hoisted to Neil's memory.

    I only knew about him through references, his work and now here, from these heartfelt remembrances. Rest in Peace.

    Thanks, Man. Well-said.

    To Neils friends and family my deepest sympathy. The razor community has lost an exceptional man. A master craftsman, artisan, keeper of history, lore and knowledge. When we lose a man of his ilk too much is lost with them. Thankfully we has access to the wisdom he has left us.
    RIP Neil
