This is sad news. I didn't know Neil personally, and even though I'm not very active on the forum anymore, I already miss him. Helpful, informative, entertaining, opinionated, argumentative, often all at the same time, he had a unique flair I'll never forget. RIP

I was thinking about Neil today. This morning I used one of the razors he restored for me (Jos.Allen 7/8 square point) and it always makes me smile. I sent it to him and told him it that I know it's not the best razor but it's my favourite one, I've used it frequently for years and really want it to look good. So I asked him to replace the scales with bone, make sure new pins are tight, clean the blade and put a satin finish on the razor. So it comes back in the same scales, although nice and shiny, with loose pins and only the blade and not the tang has a satin finish. :)
It was always an adventure dealing with him. And it's still my best shaver.Last edited by Frankenstein; 10-03-2015 at 12:50 PM.
I love the smell of shaving cream in the morning!

I really miss Neil.
Hoglahoo is very correct. Neil's posts never failed to yield info and humor.
Our PMs were a different story. We used each other as outlets for our problems which were not shave related.
Neil may not have been in a class by himself, but it sure did not take long to call attendance.If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.

I always think of Neil. It is interesting to see how many here he befriended and shared with in PM's and off-forum. Indeed, we were not his only spot to frequent!
He would type a long page to me and I always was grateful for the revelations, adventures he would share.
What an enlightened man he truly was."Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

I'm still 'Like' -ing his posts. A slender thread which I don't intend to let go of....

I've thought about him from time to time & there has been a significant impact on the site ever since he's been gone. Every time I search for something, I see he was most likely a part of it. I find myself still leaving him likes & thanks on things I haven't yet. Sure, we've all moved on like life normally goes but I've noticed a difference on the forum................an absence of a wealth of certain knowledge, intelligence, wisdom, talent, wit & much more. It hasn't been the same without him. At least you aren't suffering my friend. ~RIP Neil~
