    Default Has anyone seen Utopian around?

    Has anyone heard from Ron @utopian lately? I sent him a razor to evaluate over two weeks ago and haven't heard back from him despite a couple of PM's and a bunch of tagging on social media (and a PM on his facebook page) I hope that he is OK not dealing with anything serious?

    Seems like he is at a meet. Not to worry. Ron will get back.

    He may or may not be part of a secret consortium that Trump has commissioned to investigate the tape vs. no-tape issue because both the House and the Senate have reached a stalemate.

    Expect a resolution within the week and Ron will be back in pocket.

    Ron has been a bit busy honing crap blades on an old Swaty and then using the blade to shave using lye soap as a lather. He declined Lilac Vegetal for after shave.

    I saw a black helicopter land. Two men in black with Gillette logos on their lapels disembarked and took him away for questioning.
    Don't drink and shave!

    Declining the Veg may be the issue........

    I hope he doesn't have a rash or something.

    I just received an encrypted text on the secure line. They are also about to rule on the (in)effectiveness of jointing blades.

    OK it's been a MONTH since I sent Ron @utopian a razor and I have not heard back from him despite many attempts at communication.

    If anyone knows him personally will you PLEASE ask him to contact me? All I want is just an acknowledgement that he has the razor and will at some time do an edge evaluation for me.

    Ron is a Mentor here and I'm just looking for help that's all. I really hope there is not a serious situation going on for him if there is that is completely understandable. Short of a situation like that it just looks like he is ignoring me, and I have been pretty patient this far...Ron of you don't want to or can't do the evaluation just please send the razor back.

    No haven't seen or talked to him in a bit, sonething may have come up, you sure don't have to worry about Rons integrity. I do know when he's not got any time he doesn't check the forum much so he wouldn't see your PM. So I know you may be nervous, but I know he would never do anything wrong to you, I'd stand behind it myself. Tc

    I had gotten some help from Ron in the past and he sure seems like a very stable upstanding kind of guy. As TC said, something must have come up. All should be fine soon. Hopefully.
    It's just Sharpening, right?
