1. Thanks to everyone for all your "likes" and I just hit the 10,000 mark! I appreciate all the support and discussion we have here. And I'm glad I apparently say a few things that are worthy.

    Now, as a special reward....I am going to PIF 10 Russian blades to the member who was my 10,000th like! It will be a choice of several, mix and match, whatever the lucky winner wants. So who, you ask, was that lucky 10,000th like? Congrats to @Jostalli !!! Who liked my post in SOS for 8/10/15.

    I'll PM the winner to make it official!

  3. Congrats Neal! :bounce017:

    I really enjoy reading your stuff! I've learned so much from you in a short period of time. :happy036:

    Anyway, that's a fine way to celebrate! Congrats!!
    :happy096:

    Cheers!
    RT

    (btw - what percentage of those 'likes' were attributed to posts where you described cutting yourself? just curious...i don't mean anything by it,...really)

    :eek: AAACK!
  4. Congrats Neal on 10,000 likes! :signs021: And congrats to @Jostalli on the surprise PIF! :bounce017:

    Though, after that comment about my fiancee and us getting married, I wish I could take a few of the likes away. :signs136:
  5. Nicely done!
    Looks as though you've just earned another like! :D

  7. Yeah the 10,000 posts are a bit longer road I fear. Besides, if I posted that much in the same amount of time everyone would probably have blocked me by now. LOL

  8. Well, fortunately unfortunately for me the cuts just keep on coming. I haven't posted yet for the shave today but it wasn't without a bit of blood. Mostly left over from the Feather slice.

  9. Thanks Kevin - and thanks for being one of the people who inspired me to step into the world of straights. I may be going slow with it but I have really learned a LOT from you. That Henkotsu will be slicing away in the near future thanks to you and some others here. I just hope it's only slicing beard and not skin.
  10. Поздравляем товарищ !

  15. and in honor of the 10,000 here's your Theme Music from 10,000 Maniacs (whom I'm sure you danced to in your college days Neal) as they urge a few 'more than' 10,000 likes/posts from you! (tip of the cap to Bryan Ferry)

    (btw-not intimating that all 10,000 of your likes are from maniacs, nope not at all.):rolleyes005:
