If you recall my post on the pif from the good folks of B&B:

I have an update.
Leonard called me last night. He was very excited, on the verge of being giddy. He wanted to thank everyone again for the fabulous gift. Talked extensively about how good the brush felt on his face and what a great shave he had with the razor and blades.
Not understanding why everyone isn't still using DE shavers and brush and soap and why everyone uses the disposables, I retorted:
"Leonard it's marketing! Marketing is defined as the ability to convince someone that you can't live without something you don't really need."
"What?"
"Don't worry about it Leonard, I'll explain it later when we have more time."
I then told him that another friend by the name of Mike is sending him more blades. (Thank you ateace)
Leonard responded, "I've never had people treat me so nice before! ...and they don't even know me. I don't know how I'll ever thank them enough."
"Leonard, when you talk to the "Big Guy" upstairs, you might want to put in a good word for them. That would be nice. And, besides, someday you might be put in a position where you are able to help someone else. You'll know what to do."
He made me promise to tell everyone how appreciative he is and what a wonderful time he is having shaving. Every time he shaves he is reminded of his dad. I think the members of B&B have given a little pride to a man who really needed it.
Thanks everyone.
