I've not been on the shaving forums for a while but I'm deeply saddened and, although I knew he'd been very ill, somewhat shocked to learn of his passing.

He was very generous with his advice to me sometimes by public reply other times privately and he was also sometimes quite scathing of people who purported to know a lot but in truth didn't. His candour was IMO very welcome, and he will be greatly missed.

Kim, my sincere condolences to you and your family he was one of the good guys.
