    Default Christmas Present from Bob Allman

    Whenever I read a post about Bob at OCD Razors there is allways a comment about what a great guy he is...here is another one.
    Those of you who are regular readers of the Shave Of The Day forum would know that 2010 has been a rough year for my family and I.
    Some of the SOTD guys have generously sent my son Jack gifts and made donations to some fantastic charities. Bob saw an opportunity to do something kind for me, and sent this work of art to me here in Australia.
    Its a mirror polished 8/8 with a wallnut burl stand. Its a beautiful thing..
    Thank you Mr Allman
    Grant.

    Beautiful example of form and function. I expect a fellow could shave his head with that and get bbs.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    She's a beauty Grant. Bob's razors shave like a dream, and I know you'll enjoy her.

    Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you and your family.

    Bob, you're a true gentleman!

    Fantastic gift Grant! I wish nothing but the very best for you and your family.
    And, I can personally attest to Bob Allman's generosity, he has a huge heart and has my never ending respect. A rare breed of man now days.

    Thumbs up

    Grant,
    What a looker . Nice debut of it on SOTD too. I had seen this posted by Bob not too long ago (I think). So, you were the beneficiary .

    Bob,
    What a gentleman
