This July will always bring bad memories to me. As some members already know, I lost all my shaving related stuff and all my belongings in a fire accident recently.
Yesterday, I went to the post office to collect my mail. Much to my surprise, there were a couple of unexpected packages waiting for me. I was very unprepared for their contents!
The first package contained gift certificates for a local super store sent by the Moderators Team at B&B for a significant (to my standards anyways) amount of money. The attached greeting card wаrned me to "keep my eyes open for another package". Indeed, the second package I opened included a beautiful Persian Jar style brush made by Rudy Vey, and a B&B shaving bowl. I'm not sure and have to ask Rudy, but my first impression when I saw and touched the knot was that it's a 21 mm Shavemac D01 2-band. The bottom of the brush had an elegant engraving "From your friends at B&B" and the forum logo... I know a photo will be more appropriate than describing the brush; I'll take one tomorrow with my cell phone camera!
Words can't express my gratitude to those who contributed and were involved in sending me the gifts. I appreciate highly these gifts not only for their monetary value but for bringing back the positive excitement in my life and for uplifting my spirits exactly at this moment when I need it the most. What can be a happier event than a happy shave every day! I hope I will be able soon to give back to the members of this great community.
So, besides the bad memories associated with this July, it will remind me about the generosity of the great people at B&B!
