"21"^^ . "When was the last time you saw a \"creme brulee\" torch being used on your shoes?\n\nWell I was walking casually through CLT, with a two hour layover before my next flight. It's actually a 3/4 of a mile hike from 33A for 33E and I was heading in the direction of the US Air Club. \n\nJust outside, I notice Executive Shoe Shine and three hard working, no that should be hustling employees, using the aforementioned blow torch on some shoes. One traveler had a shopping bag full of shoes and offered me his seat after finishing; I guess he was on his second of at least five pair and needed a rest. LOL \n\nWow, I couldn't get over Cassy (see photo) putting the heat to his shoes. They were giving off a blue flame. Incredible! Fifteen minutes later my friend was back and I offered back his seat.\n\nThe suggest price for their shine is $6.00 for shoes and $8.00 for boots. Ridiculous! That's a starting point for their tips. Take a look at the reflection off my shoes (photo). They didn't come out of the box looking this good and they are a nice pair of Allen-Edmunds.\n\nSo Five Stars, hands down the best shine you'll ever have anywhere."^^ . . "13"^^ .
