I am a relatively new member i thank you for your words. This forum is sustaining me at a particular difficult time. It does go more than talk about shaving there is a deeper element to what happens here.
I too am a relative newbie to the forum but like many, lurked for a very long time before finally joining. I remeber reading your original post....when it was originally posted...and it brought me to tears then as it did again when I just re-read it. I am sincerely sorry for your loss.
The humanity of your post and the community's reaction and support reflect the main reason I joined B&B. That and wanting to see how to save money on shaving... ....I mean invest in shaving.
