First, I want to thank Andrea for all her hard work of late. She is doing more than her part to keep up witht he question. I myself have been quite booked up with clients of late, so I’m not getting to things quite as much as I’d like. It seems like the format changes have stopped some of our professionals from posting. I hope they come back! Andrea is awesome, but she cannt provide the skilled knowledge that our professionals can.
The second part of this post, if to bring some sad news.I just this morning recieved a phone call fom an Alabama electrologist who has posted here in the past. He had some questions for me on the protec probes I use. He also unfortunately informed me of Mike Roy’s passing from stage 4 cancer, and that Laurier Probes has ceased selling/manufacturing the probes.They are no longer available.
As I know that a great many of the professionals here use and swear by Laurier probes, this contribution to electrology will surely be missed.
I would like to send my condolences to Mike Roys family. Mike and I didnt exactly get along.Actually, I’d long ago sworn never to allow a Laurier probe into my office ( to my detriment, as they are reported to have been excellent) . Despite my disagreements with Mike, I would like to send my sincerest condolences to his family.
He did however make what is known to be amoung the best electrolysis instruments made. He will be missed by many. The question of whether someone else will begin making the probe, is moot, as I’ve just found out the owner of ballet also passed suddenly away 2 weeks ago leaving behind 2 late teen sons.As well the signature IBP probe design will have been patented, so it wouldnt be lawful for someone else to start making them.
All of which leaves a giant hole in the North American market for electrolysis probes and a real opportunity for someone with good manufacturing skills as their is an unfulfilled hole in the market.
