    Thank-you, Gary. I have been so focussed on the difficulties with my hone and how to correct them these past few weeks that I have lost track of some of what you have written about. Thank-you for reminding me about some of what is really important here. Thank-you for your clear expression and detailed process. Thank-you for your careful thought. It is an inspiration to me in my time of hectic living. I know that in my next shave I will be thinking a little of you.

    wow Gary..that really made me sit back and think. I too think like that but you put it in to words perfectly.

    I guess the ritual of straight shaving brings out the best in all of us. That's also why there are such nice people on SRP, well all have many things in common and share a passion which is not that common.

    So now I'm thinking of you when you went to the shops to get a Proraso package for me, Lynn for his honing skills, Vlad for his restoration projects, Bill for his awesome stuff and what he has gone through moving house, and Tony for his strops etc..

    Then I think of Joe Chandler, your beer and it goes on and on.

    Thanks Gary, inspiring thougth. My shave tomorrow will be longer and more enjoyable because if your comments.

    Now enough of this drizzly sentimentality stuff, get back to work all of you..

    Gary
