    It’s possible. Looking forward to seeing how it goes.

    I think so. For one thing, heavy loading the Soap Destroyer with my frankensoap yesterday made me realize that what I considered heavy loading in the past wasn't even close.

    True story from Saturday. Mom and daughter in law buying an inexpensive Twin XL with adjustable base for the Mom. The son walks in as we're ready to wrap up the sale. He checks out the base she is getting and asks if the adjustable base would fit inside his furniture. I tell him yes. He makes eye contact with his wife as his Mom takes a seat on a bed while he's looking. He mumbles something about giving their current mattress to one of the kids and upgrading theirs. He then asks what bed I'd recommend. I literally say "lay down on that one right there" - pointing to the most expensive bed in the store. It is actually incredibly comfortable too. He lays down. Tells his wife to lay down. Asks about the adjustable base and I upgrade him to the next higher one than his mom got based on "you need a little more power for this size bed". (Not a lie but not totally essential. My ethics remain unsullied). I quote the $7299 price for the whole thing and make it "out the door" so I'll include the tax in that price. He says - "can I have 7 years to pay for it"? My answer without even a blink - "0% for 6 years". He blinks (meaning I win). "So how about a 20% discount because we've bought beds here before"? I don't blink - "Ok". He blinks again and his mom laughs. He says "and what about delivery"? I still don't blink - "free and we'll haul off your old mattress for you as well". Long pause as he looks at his wife for help. She has nothing to offer. Him - "I like this pillow". Me - still not blinking - "pick out a pillow for each of you and it's included as well." Him, getting up out of the bed - "Hey honey find a pillow you like. Merry Christmas - we're getting a bed". Me, sauntering to my desk - "I'll just need two forms of ID to get the credit handled and we'll get you scheduled". Done. With his Mom's bed a total around $6500 and I never broke a sweat. And they raved about me in an online review.

    Now, why would you be nervous about visiting my store? :D

    If I had a stuck on an island razor this would be the one. Needs better scales, but a Doble Temple 14 is a great shaver.

    Quoting from your MAYhem post cited - "Called it good at two passes, and did no touch up. Neck and cheeks are BBS, chin is a low grade DFS. Did not expect that. Verdict: binder clip will work, but why would anyone in thier right mind do that?"

    I have no idea why anyone in their right mind would do it. Which makes me the perfect person to try it next.

    Sounds like everyone was happy with the deal. " Win, win."
    I grew up selling in my Grandfather's furniture store.

    Thanks, Andrew. Its just over an inch wide. Super hollow, and it sings when you use it. You can hear every whisker cut.

    Boy, with all of the remarks about avoiding mattress stores in St. Louis, I thought a little education might alleviate your fears. Besides, I just love using that Shenanigan's picture to announce Shenanigans.
