Default Wax Iron

Dell

Remember the beauty of the service is that you don't have to purchase a new
iron, we grind, recalibrate, and prewax your existing iron! I know this
doesn't solve your back up iron issue but I'm sure someone else will gladly
take some of your money for that.

I do think in the next year or two we will be start our hand picked iron
program. Details on that are still a bit sketchy but what we will ask from
costumers is that they photocopy their hand, arm and describe their ironign
style. We will then determine which iron is best for you. How often do you
walk into a shop and are forced to buy the iron they have on the shelf, not
knowing that another iron could vastly improve your waxing experience. You
really don't know what you are missing until you hold an iron that is most
closely matched to you hand and ironing style. When going with a hand
selected iron we also offer the grind option. Often times irons sit in
boxes for a year or two and collect lots of dirt before they are used by a
consumer. Bases can also be damaged in transport.

The thought occurred to me - a broken iron would put me out of
business untill I could get a new one, which could take a couple days.
Maybe my iron would break the night a ski race. Or I might drop it at
a bad time, and maybe that kills it. Could be a bad thing!


Maybe I should get a second iron.


Do you guys have a backup iron ?


How long do irons last before they retire ?


They work pretty long hours.

Dell,

I did have a back up until I got a new one, classic impulse buy ( the
catalogs came). The 10 year old Toko works fine, I currently use it to
heat in base binder for classic wax. Nice new club suits by the way.
Others go towww.grnst.organd scroll down if you want to see what the
Grand Rapids (MI) team will be wearing this year.

I think this is the year that you chase down Darenzo and the
Frontrunner, although they are skiing at Rosies Run as we type.

Hey O'C!

To think I am just a new Mayo-Kiely Turbo Iron away from skiing with
Kalamzoo Nordic's finest ! I better order that thing.

Thanks for the kind words on the suit. The plan for the last version
was to go simple and we succeeded, so this time I'd been dreaming of
some flash for a long time. That Team Canada suit is probably my
favorite, and we were able to get it done nearly the same. Better be
fast in a suit that cool!
