One good thing about being King is I can choose things myself at times. So along those lines I name Alan as the first member to be given the Toady! If you take time to check the member list you will see that Alan was the first Member to join TOST. I know for a fact he has shared knowledge and equipment with many members over the last 5+ years. You hear many tales of people who received gifts from Him. I am one myself!! So raise a glass to a original TOSTer and all around good guy...Alan.

TRIBUTE TO ALAN SHAVE !!!! Man this was hard...Alan piffed me several of my favorite razors...and years ago when I first met Alan here or across the street, I can't remember...but he posted that a Longs Drugs had put all their Personna rebranded injector razor blades on a clearence sale. I asked if he could tell me which Longs Drugs it was, because I was in Istanbul and would like to contact the store and maybe buy some over the phone and have them mail them to me, if they had any left.... Well to make a long story short he wanted to send me some....he insisted in fact....Well there was someone else, at the Den that heard all this and was getting ready to bring their wife to Istanbul for a vacation. They asked us if they could carry the blades with them to save shipping and if they could get me some EMS blades to trade for DE blades that sell in Turkey at the Barber Depots...So thats how it went down... Well I can't tell you how surprised I was when I saw the bag he sent....That was almost 6 or 7 years ago...I use them all the time and here is some of the Alan Stash I have left: That was how I met Alan...since then he has piffed me some grails that I had commented about including...well I don't want to embarrass the cat...Alan likes to keep a low- profile...so I'll stop this line of thought and move on to the shave... As I said, it was hard to pick which razor, so I decided to pick from that first pif...Soooo Alan Tribute Shave: Classic Long's Drugs/personna platinum plus blades (thank you Alan) Schick New and Improved Injector C.O.Bigelow tubed Menthol Shave Cream new formula Vie-long Horse Hair Brush (Thank you Fuzz-man) Thayers W-H Skin Bracer BIG SPLASH...and a dab of Afta Original AS rubbed in real good! Followed by a splash of English Leather....

He also sent me some of the Longs branded ASR blades. I used one in a Schick adjustable that came from Alan. The Hart mug, Semogue 1460 and Musgo Real also came from his cave. This was an outstanding shave with Williams too.
