I was once like many of you. Dismissive of /u/PrideTwo and /u/tsrblke and their crusade for TSF. Reveled at the idea of seeing them crushed under the heel of Medium-ish Soap.

And then I realized, since when do I stand up for the medium guy against the small guy? Since when do I revel in seeing a new-ish artisan thrown to the heap like so much rubbish to be disposed of?

No more, I say. It is time for us to rally together. To revel in the little guy. To embrace what can be—the hopers, the dreamers—against the establishment.

Join me. Delete your posts. Shave again. Use TSF. For together we usher in a new era for wet shaving together!
