Boy, Kevin, you really laid an egg with that one. But, at least it wasn't a total cluck up. (oops, wrong thread. )
Recent change out to this avatar. Someone PM'd me and asked who the man with the pipe was. He's actually from an old 'Lifebuoy' shaving cream ad; updated with color, violet shades and a soul patch. My sons say the man has a resemblance to me—with the exception of the pipe and heavily-applied Wildroot.
Ben Hur, actually. I have seen a number of Apollo and Ben Hur razor blade wrappers that differ only in the name. Both brands must have been owned by the same company at some point (or maybe always?).
I came upon this sign at an old school pharmacy in Highlands, NC. I like the subject matter but was really drawn to it since Wilson is our son's first name. So I shot a picture of it and have used it for over a year now.
I started using this avatar a couple years back when I was strictly using boar brushes and now I just find him charming (like me). Besides that I a visual type of guy; meaning I remember a face, but a name escapes me. When people change their avatar I go "who's that new guy".
Sorry for the confusion. I've changed my avatar a number of times. My current one is my youngest grandson lathering up for a play shave.
