Barbershop Shave Review Directory

[PaulG]

There are a large number of reviews scattered through the forums of barbershop shaves across the world. As it is not the easiest task to find these amongst all of the other posts on the forum, I thought it might be useful to create a directory of those reviews. The beginning of this is posted below, and will be expanded as I continue to search and find more reviews. If you find a review that I've missed, please PM me a link to it, or post it in the thread and I'll update the directory with it. I hope this helps others looking for good barbershop shaves!

In general the term good barbershop shave is an oxymoron. Sure there are a few but in general someone wanting a good shave should plan on doing it themselves.

This is an interesting idea, and thanks for gathering the links. But wouldn't a wiki page be easier to maintain?

An excellent point - I'll convert to that as soon as I get a spare moment

And in answer to Spendur's comment, I agree that there are many poor barbers out there (as I have experienced), but there is also something wonderful about getting a good shave by a practiced professional - it's not something I'd do every week, or even every month, but once in a while, it's an awesome thing to have done!
