    Great filter on the pic. Somehow it goes with the mahogany.

    Thanks very much. Not to far (couple of miles). I have to be careful of deer hunters at this time of the year Steve. They don't care for me as I shoot back. :)

    Could be the concentration of Almond essential oil that caused the reaction.

    I think that's a very generous offer you've made. I'm going to take a pass though, and just buy my own. Bill Gates sent me an e-mail the other day. He's sending me 5 million! Heckuva guy he is!

    Once that comes though I'll invite everyone in the 30DC down to my private island for a shave retreat. That way, everyone can bring the brushes you gave out can be put to use in a tropical setting. I think I'll even stock the crib with soaps, aftershaves and blades - on the house for everyone, of course.

    You guys are suckers. Those fat cats will never share their wealth. They are lying to you. I, on the other hand am helpng the a member of the royal family of Namibia escape from a revolution in his country and will be reaping some pretty hefty rewards, if I may say so myself. Keep it on the down low as I’m sure all the revolutionaries in his country would want to prevent my kind act from happening, but all I gotta do is set up an account with 10,000 bucks in it and give them the routing and account numbers so they can transfer in $100 Million into the US. Then we split it. Like I said this morning before my shave “What’s the worst that can happen?” Or was it “Hold my beer, I got this!” Either way this is gonna be awesome!

    Wow, who would ever have dreamed that a humble little shaving forum could become such a centre of concentrated wealth and refinement? Good luck to both of you gentlemen with your ventures -- I know I don't need any luck at all with mine as I am assured it is 100% guaranteed...

    BTW, Randy, even though you obviously won't need me to buy a brush for you with that $50M in your account, the offer still stands, so would you like a standard Ivory or a distinctive Black or Imitation Horn handle on your BK12 brush when my briefcase of money arrives? :)
