Kent ROCKS!!!!!!!

[Michael]

As we all did, I read Will's saga of his broken BK8 and how G.B. Kent wasn't going to make good on it. That just didn't seem right to me so I decided to write to Vanessa Peters, Kent's Import/Export Service Manager. Went on and on about how I thought it was a mistake for them to handle it this way, bad for image (and future sales) etc. Guess I struck a chord since a couple of days later, Will and I received an email from dear Vanessa saying that she would, in fact, replace his brush.

The next day, I got a note from her asking for my address...MY address, not Will's. I was kind of in a rush so I sent it to her, but asked her if she didn't mean Will's? Didn't think to ask why she wanted mine.

A couple of you posted comments as to how you'd been swayed by the fact that they had changed their tune so I let her know about that turn of events. Also asked why she wanted my address. She thanked me for my comments, but didn't answer my question. I wrote again and said - "You aren't going to tell me WHY, are you?" Her reply? "No!" No signature, no embellishment, just "No!"

Okay, her sense of humour matches mine! ;) I figured it was going to be a surprise - for being a nice guy, she was going to send me a tube of cream or a toothbrush or something. Nice gesture.

Well, today, Vanessa's "nice gesture" arrived from the UK. No cream, no toothbrush. The box was larger! No note from Vanessa either. Just a box.

That's okay though... :D

Not a chance, I call dibs.

Michael, we want more info, and we want it NOW :D Please :o

[qhsdoitall]

I knew there was a reason I put a BK4 back into my wish list along with a BK8. What is that dark mistress of brushes?

The sticker on the bottom of the handle says it's a BLK4. A search of their website turned up nothing so I assume it's a new offering that they just aren't ready to go live with yet. Or maybe I have the only one!!! :D

Awesome, ain't it?!

Sick Doc on 'em.....bust his thumbs and take the brush. He won't be able to use it after his thumbs are busted anyway :cool:

You mean, Doc, the one who has a new BK8 because of me? That Doc?

[Bronco]

Michael that is absolutely fabulous looking! I love my BK4 but I'd love one more in black. Let's see.....Vanessa sent you that knowing you would share with us to tempt us and we would all want one resulting in Kent selling a billion brushes..right?

[TraderJoe]

You mean, Doc, the one who has a new BK8 because of me? That Doc?

Yes, that Doc. He'll do it for the BLK4.

Its a dog eat dog world ;)

[qhsdoitall]

Ya think?

So, do you want one? :cool: When I write to thank her (and to PROPOSE!) I could tell her how many she's gonna need!

Umm, is it considered in bad taste to propose via email?

[Bronco]

Umm, is it considered in bad taste to propose via email?

As Dr. Phil would say - only if it is true love and not just brush lust.:D

That's a +1 for me.:D

[Leisureguy]

Man, that's a beautiful brush. FWIW I have a Kent BK4 that I really love. I lather on my beard, and it works great with both soap and cream.

It does work well, doesn't it, Michael? I may have to sell a few brushes now though. Lately, I've been using my BK4 3 or 4 days a week. Now that I have this one too...when am I going to use the others?!

[Queen of Blades]

OK, we know he lives in CT. Can we track him down? :D

Yep. I have his address. :D

Ya think?

So, do you want one? :cool:

Can I get mine in pink? Would that be a PNK4? :D

[qhsdoitall]

Yep. I have his address. :D



Can I get mine in pink? Would that be a PNK4? :D

Only if I can have one in Jade.

[Queen of Blades]

Only if I can have one in Jade.

Hey, Brian! I didn't need any more either - this one followed me home! I don't know what the deal is with the BLK. It's not on their website. When Vanessa writes back, I'll let everyone know. Assuming she's still speaking to me after I proposed! ;)

Patience, boys and girls...
Hi Michael,

Thanks for the offer! (re my proposal - hey, she didn't say NO!)

The brush you have is a brand new range. They are the same as BK12, 8, 4,and 2 but as you can see with black sockets.

They will be up for sale on the web site soon.
I am pleased that you are pleased.
Kindest regards
Vanessa
She also says that these will be priced the same as the ivory handles, er, sockets. And no, they don't have jade or pink. Jeez...

BTW, confidence is high! She usually closes with KIND Regards.... :rofl
