Greetings from new Steward, Mendel!

[Mendel]

Hello Everyone,

Mendel here. I am honored to have earned the opportunity in serving as a new Steward in this fine forum, General Shaving Discussion.

When I'm not online here in B&B, I am busy fulfilling my own acquisition disorders of shaving stuff, fountain pens, and acoustic guitars.

I'm also an Adjunct Professor at both Drexel University and Eastern University here in the Philadelphia area. I've taught a variety of business courses over the past 12 years.

Perhaps many of you know my B&B avatar and name was inspired by my late, long-haired Dachshund, Mendel. My little guy passed away in September at the age of 17. I learned a lot about being a "good guy" from my beloved Mendel. As a result, I have always strived in being a true gentleman here on B&B.

I look forward to be serving you in this forum.

Regards,

Mendel

nice to meet you, Mendel. I'm very sorry for your loss. I can fully relate having lost my furry friend of 16 years a couple of Novembers ago.

Sorry for your loss Mendel, I know how that feels...

Salutations Mendel! I look forward to your steward services here. I had a minature wire-haired Dachshund when I was a boy and I couldn't agree more that they pack a lot of personality in a little package. I'm sorry for your loss and happy you had the experience.

Greetings Mendel. My name is Rob. Nice to meet you. I too am a lover of fine fountain pens and fine canines. I am also a better man because of my dog. I am sorry for your loss of your friend and companion. I'm certain that you were both lucky to have one another. I look forward to seeing you around the board.

Congratulations Mendel!

Anyone with a dog as their avatar is A-OK in my book.

Congratulations on your new Stewardship, Mendel!

I like how you chose to honor your old friend here.

Although the void can never truly be filled, I hope that you can
stay happily occupied with pens, guitars and razors.

Congratulations. I too, think Daschunds are great dogs. My family had a toy one when I was young. Lively little friend.
