So today Derek shut down and posted a note his house burned down. He said all family and pets are safe. I think it would be nice and lift his spirits a bit if we could send him a message on etsy to let him know we support him. I'm not asking or suggesting donations. Just sending a message to show support for a member of the shave community during this horrible time for him and his family. Mods please let this stay. I am not even suggesting donating or fundraising. Just a message to let him know we support him through this. He may not be a member here but he is a well respected member of the shaving community.
That's horrible. Liked your post, but cause not liked at all. I'm not to far away from him. Sent him a message. I'm sure he is busy working through the near term difficulties. But when this settles down it will be good for him to have support.
Not going to link it directly cause I really don't want to break any rules nor take the time to read through them to see if I am... But it looks like Ben from Mammoth Soaps has been in contact with Derek, and has set up a thing to support Wild West Brushworks. To find it go to Mammoth Soaps Facebook page, there is a direct link there.
