There are good people in the World.

Evening Strumpets.

Recently My father, King Kenny, purchased, from God only knows where(and he ain`t talking), a small container of Shaving Cream which he swore blind was the best thing he had ever bought. Dad is highly allergic to perfume, and as a result most shaving creams were likely to result in him doing a pretty good impression of Michael Gambon in "The Singing Detective". Problem was he could not remember where he had purchased it from. "Go on the computer Son, and find out where I can buy it" was his request.

The cream was by a Company called Men-U, who only sell the stuff over the Internet. When we looked into it, the existing cream, which Dad had "got" was no longer available, but had been replaced by a new cream with Tea Tree oil in it. Louise sent an Email to the company enquiring if they had any of the old stock spare which we could purchase. She got the following reply:

"Unfortunately for your father, all shave crème 100ml stock now comes with tea tree oil. However, we are currently developing a new formulation, in addition to the existing, that is designed for sensitive skin i.e. removal of potential irritants such as tea tree oil. It will be more like the original formulation but better – if that is possible!

This product should be launched in early 2010 but we do actually have some samples, which are perfectly safe to use and have been used by many including in our office as they are in the final phase of development. If you would like, I would be more than happy to supply your father with the product to involve him in the process as we would value his opinion/feedback - we'd even try to mock it up so it's close to how it should appear in store!

In the meantime, I apologise to your father for the situation and any inconvenience he may have experienced. I appreciate you letting us know about his predicament. You’re a thoughtful daughter in law – have a good week!

We asked for the stuff to be sent, and not only was Kenny true to his word (he likes my Dad`s name) He sent a package which I can only begin to imagine would have cost what we like to call "HOW MUCH" in our house, and also sent a product which is in the very early stages of production and asked if we could feedback on this. This guy, and this company really impressed me. It is such a pleasure to know that even in the world of Cut Throat business (Pardon the pun), there is kindness out there.

Dad loves the stuff, and still swears by it.

Incidentally, I have been approached by several companies to plug their stuff on this Blogspot for money. The proviso of doing this (as anyone who has been approached can vouch for) is that you do not mention that you have been approached. At no point did Kenny (Men-U, not my Dad)know I have this Blogspot! At no point did he request I writ this post! I am writing this because if any of you good Strumpets out there fancy backing a Company which provides this sort of service, and incidentally is a damn fine product, go out and make someones Christmas.
