Thread: Yet another thank you to John Crowley

I have been sick in bed with a really bad virus and hadn’t shaved in over a week. I used my 8/8 Henckels Friodur that I got from John and in a single silky smooth pass I was clean shaven and smooth as a baby's butt. John, you are my new razor dealer of choice. Even though I have only purchased one razor from you to date, and while I won't be buying as many razors as I had been because I am saving for a house, you are my razor savior. Thanks again for selling such a quality product; I have fallen in love with these razors, and will be buying quite a few more of your 8/8 razors.

JLStorm:
Glad you're feeling better. I agree w/you on John's Friodur 8/8. Mine is my 'special treat' razor in the rotation.

JL,

Was it the blue-scaled one you bought for your wedding day? Get well soon.

Yes it was! I love it...I am hoping to buy another one soon with wooden scales.

JL, just buy a cheaper plastic handled one and I'll make you a set of wooden scales as a wedding present if you like or not..whatever takes your fancy.

Cheers

Gary

Gary that has to be the nicest thing anyone has ever offered to do for me! I would love to accept your offer, but I just couldnt get something for nothing. Please let me know what I could do for you in return!!! I am just floored at the offer, really...what a wonderfully nice thought, thank you so much, let me know what I can do for you.

JL, enough of the sentimental stuff OK Us Kiwi's are just friendly.

Just let me know what razor you eventually get and I'll make up a set to suit. The only three things I ask in return are:-

1. Be good to your new wife. I've been married for 22yrs and I'm still good.

2. Enjoy the razor.

3. Pay it forward.

Can you pin the scales btw ?. I'll include the rod and washers etc...

Best regards

Gary

I havent actually done it, but I read a bit on pinning scales, I think I could...if not I could probably have someone else do it thats state side.

this is the razor I was thinking of getting this 8/8:



My wife said right now anything under 100.00 is ok, but like I said I want wooden scales, however the house fund is eating up all our spare cash! Gary if you are really willing to make them for me, I could either ship you the razor once I get it or if you can make the scales without seeing the razor, perhaps Joe Chandler would pin them on for me if I couldnt figure it out. I know he has a little side business going doing that sort of stuff.

I thought so. After hearing how nice it shaves, I couldn't take it any longer and just ordered one from John. I love those blue mosaic scales.
