Established Themed Events & New Idea Discussion

[HoosierTrooper]

How about something like No Theme November, or Just Say No To Themes November? The theme for November would be to just use whatever products you want without being constrained by themes. On second thought, if the theme is to not have a theme then I guess you have a theme after all…

You still have made a choice

Great idea!

A couple of others that come to mind:

• SV Saturday
• Speicktember

And a suggestion:

• Wedge Wednesday

Thank you @silverlifter for mentioning these. I'll add theses, including your suggestion. Nice idea!

What about Time Bandits Tuesday???

Hey @Arbor Man. Thanks for the idea. This one would be fun, but I'm not that egotistical.

A hard soap day or week would be cool. Everyone need encouragement to put a dent in their hard soap.

I think this is a great idea @Slock. I'll be thinking about this one and where it may best fit. Thank you.

Great post and idea.

The wiki page captures some existing daily and monthly themes as well.

Calendar of Shaves

This calendar lists important events in the shaving year. Note that some months and days may have more than one theme.Seminal thread: [URL="http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/138141-A-flavour-for-every-month!!-join-the-B-amp-B-theme-o...

Thank you @ShavingPanda. I was unaware of this wiki. I'll be taking a look at it today.

Great post! Lots of awesomeness already happening though!

Don’t forget :
Thread 'High Efficiency Razors Summer 2022'
High Efficiency Razors Summer 2022 - https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/high-efficiency-razors-summer-2022.625262/

I’ve been trying to think of a clever name for a large thread for all types of Titanium razors.

Thank you @PRobots. I will be sure to include this event in my next revised post.

I've also had the idea for an event dedicated to titanium. Looks like I forgot to include in the initial post. I'll add it as a proposal idea in the next post. We'll have to put some more thought into where it might fit best though.

@KMF79
October has also OCtober and SOCtober events running.

April had for the last two years

April Frugal Follies Cheapskate Challenge (AFFCC) - 2022 Edition

This is a shaving game/challenge which was initiated last year by @BubblesUK and which we want to replicate this year as well. The challenge is to show how cheaply a den can be begun (for less than the cost of common "starter" DE razors) and still provide satisfaction... Oh, and to have fun...

Various Blade weeks during summer Shark, Tiger, 7 o’clock

Thank you @Multum in parvo. I'll add these three events to my next revised post. The various blade weeks are already listed though.

Also RazoRocktober

Right on @BradWorld. I'll be adding this in the next update post.

There’s the fixed four for march madness

Ah yes. Can't forget this one. I'll add this to my next revised post. Thank you @GR5233.

And not to forget, Mistura May Madness

Very cool @Multum in parvo. I'll be sure to add this event as well.

Hey @HoosierTrooper, nice idea. I did include this as a suggestion for Sundays though. Let me know you think and if you have any other idea for fun events.

At this point I want to give a big thanks to everyone that has either provided an established themed event I missed or a suggestion for a new event. This is the kind of dialog I was hoping for.

I'm planning on posting an update probably about once a week. I'm thinking some time on Sundays. So expect an updated post from me tomorrow. Here's were I say I wish I had edit powers so I could simply keep the first post updated. You know, incase this became a stick and all.

 

[Time Bandit]

DecemBoar was quite popular last December

 

[Markdad2]

That's actually a really good idea. I'm thinking about where to work that in at.

Hard soap hump day?

 

[Time Bandit]

I like that name! It's pretty clever.

My thought was Hard Soap Sunday.

 

[Time Bandit]

DecemBoar was quite popular last December

Very nice. I'll add this one

 

[Phoenixkh]

That is what got

And not to forget, Mistura May Madness

That’s what got me going on my brush buying frenzy. I loved every minute of it.

I have 8, count ‘em, Eight boars as a result of reading the entire DecemBoar thread.

I did an extensive overhaul of the Calendar of Shaves wiki. Feel free to take a look and let me know what you think.

Looks good! In fact, I found one I should be a part of, Scentless Saturday!

Also, William's Wednesdays is big in some neighborhoods, but didn't see it on the Calendar.

Oh, that's awesome! I'm glad you found another event to participate in.

I didn't find a "William's Wednesday" when searching so I'll add it as a proposal to my next update here in this thread.

 

[Frinstance]

Torrey Tuesday and Frameback Friday can be in green as well. We may need a petition for an eighth day of the week.

8th day of the week, huh?

It would have to be inspired by The Beatles, if it were up to me.

How about something like No Theme November, or Just Say No To Themes November? The theme for November would be to just use whatever products you want without being constrained by themes. On second thought, if the theme is to not have a theme then I guess you have a theme after all…

How about a Synthetic Sunday, or Saturday if the irony rubs people the wrong way?

I dig it. Great idea! Synthetic brushes are totally worthy of a dedicated day.
