BEST Vendors List

[Xezmer]

If there is a thread already containing this info, please tell me. I searched and could not find one.

My purpose here today is to compile a list of the best vendors of shaving supplies. I have searched far and wide (as a computer will take me) for the best vendors and want some feedback from this wide forum. Please help me if you have any valuable information to benefit us all. So this is how I want to break it down:

BEST Shaving Brush Vendor(s):
CANIDATES:

BEST Colognes Vendor(s):
CANIDATES:

BEST Shaving Soaps Vendor(s):
CANIDATES:

BEST Shaving Creams Vendors(s):
CANIDATES:

BEST Aftershaves Vendors(s):
CANIDATES:

BEST Safety Razor Vendors(s):
CANIDATES:

BEST Straight Edge Vendors(s):
CANIDATES:

BEST Blade Vendors(s):
CANIDATES:

BEST Straight edge supploes Vendors(s):
CANIDATES:

If there is a way to improve this idea, please let me know. I'm entirely open to suggestions and hope this takes off. I myself would like a go-to vendor list.

In order to give you our personal examples of "best", we need to know what your criteria are: Least expensive price? Most samples given? Greatest selection? Other?

 

[Xezmer]

Well, great prices, customer service, wide selection. For example, Sam or "ntguys" on ebay who is also known as Wish4Star (i think), sells a wide selection of blades for great prices, and is known for being a great business man to his customers. Just vendors that are a pleasure to deal with.

Just don't do a WORST list, or you'll get punked!

This seems dangerous... dunno why....

Not if we play it safe.

The best vendor is Chuck Norris.

Just make sure you....

1.) CLEARLY distinguish this is not an official B&B list, it's merely a tally you took amongst a subset of users (whoever participates).
2.) CLEARLY detail each individual that voted for each vendor, so folks can get an idea of the sample size, and who voted accordingly.
3.) CLEARLY disclose the last time the list was completely updated so someone who happens to stumble on this thread 6 years from now isn't making decisions based on 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 year old data.

Have Fun!

Threads like these are pretty pointless. Vendors change. What's "good" is so subjective. A "good" vendor today may not be tomorrow.

Exactly. It's happened here with some vendors.

Awesome! Why start over when 99% of the work is already done!

That thread has probably cost me more money than any other page on the interwebs.

Just too subjective, that's all.

I think if the vendor is on the B&B vendor list already you probably can't go wrong.

Besides unless the other vendors have a gal as good looking as Vintage Blades does picking out shaving brushes they're going to lose
