I guess that settles it. What most of us do here is "traditional wet shaving" but wet shaving technically is any shaving that you use water.
But the truly tough (gentle)men dry shave with a SR!
That’s not true....CONSENSUS!!
Very rare here on B&B!!
That’s not true....
I
always assumed wet shaving meant you used water
Anything but electric and tweezers.I always assumed wet shaving meant you used water and something that lathers. However, it seems a lot of people define wet shaving by the type of razor someone uses. Mostly, I see DE, SE, and SR tools are referred to as wet shaving but cartridges aren’t
The only dry shaving tool I’m aware of is electric razors (but even some of those can be used with a wet lather). I did try dry shaving with a cartridge when I was a teenager—I learned to never do that again.
How do you all define wet shaving?
In other words, using a SR, DE or Cart, would not be “wet shaving” if canned foam were used?As far as our hobby goes, I would call it "traditional wet shaving". But it still should include cartridges as long as you use a shaving brush.

I did not say that. For it to be "traditional wet shaving" you should use a brush to make lather.
Exactly and using aerosol putty is hardly wet ;-)
I started shaving in 1964 and foam was absolutely traditional by that time. Barbasol preceded me by many many years. I’m 71 years old and personally fall into the “vintage” category.I did not say that. For it to be "traditional wet shaving" you should use a brush to make lather.

I too started about 1964, I am 72. I'm just saying when you take into consideration our hobby and all that it involves as traditional wet shaving, a brush should be included.
