I've been out of the loop for awhile, and just learned days ago of Neil's passing.
I think of Neil Miller as a true "Renessaince Man.." A wealth of knowledge on many subjects, who did not suffer fools gladly. None of us are ever irreplaceable, but Neil comes as close as any man could to the straight razor community.
I will remember Neil's kindnesses to me on many levels ... Opinionated? Maybe, but with the knowledge to back it up!
Godspeed, Neil Miller .. and my heartfelt sympathies to his family.
