Eloquent as usual, Obie!
Unfortunate as it may seem the "holy grail" may just be that - that which will be much sought after, but will it ever be found? It will when you realize it is within you ;)
Perhaps it is indeed not the destination but the journey, the little moments that should be cherished but are often over looked during the quest for the ultimate shave. It is this place, my friend, that I believe we can both appreciate.
Plus, on a lighter note, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who takes 45 minutes from shower to walking out :)
Best regards,
Ryan
