My all time favorite by far... It seems no matter how much time I spend reading peoples methods, it's always good to refer to a sticky with so much valuable information. It is also the first page I saw that encouraged me to register and be an active member. Coolest feature if the review section and the fact that the forum layout is so neat and clean compared to other shave forums.

It may be kinda lame but my favorite by far is:

When I first found this forum and was introduced to the world of wet shaving this thread was a giant help to me as I learned how to shave properly and it is still a help to me. Though any of the numerous reviews, helpful sticky threads, or guides are definitely close seconds and thirds and fourths

An invaluable reference to the new wetshaver and a quick go-to for those times when you wobble off the path a little...

This is my favorite thread on B&B: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=1778

Because it's the one that started me down the path of DE wetshaving, and put me in the know about my favorite razor and the one I learned DE shaving on, the Merkur HD

For bonus points, it's located in the section, which has a wealth of knowledge to be picked through by any interested party. It always pays to do your research!

The 3-word story is a nonstop chain of laughter. Some really great responses in there.

One of the coolest functions on this site is the Members locator (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/vbgooglemapme.php)

For a noob like me, it was great to learn about the 4 pass shave. It helped me get a closer shave and avoid razor burn for the most part!

B&B Tea Pass from the Cafe

I got to try a bunch of tasty new teas!

I think the feature that I most love is the ability to export my PMs into CSV, TXT, and XML. This means I never have to permanently lose old stuff from my inbox or sent folder. Hooray!

Lots of good info here.

I found myself checking back at the WIKI for the B&B Abbreviations / Acronyms to figure out what people were saying in the early days. I can get most of them now, but still a great reference point.

Sorry if I stole this one from somebody else, but I thought this one was just hilarious.

I know it may not be exciting to most people, but learning how to mill soap into a container meshed my OCD tendencies with wetshaving perfectly.

EDIT: And the "post your shave dens!" thread!!!: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=81088

EDIT#2: My bookmarked page to the B&B is: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/search.php?do=getnew It allows me to see all the new posts on my first click (it is just the "new posts" link in the top right, but I find it easier to click it from the bookmarks bar)

My favorite thread was the sticky posted by Joel on the how-to for straight shaving. It was the single best resource that I kept going back to over and over again when I first tried out straight shaving. It's best straight razor tutorial out there.

Favorite thread is easily the "Post Your Shave Dens"... There isn't a better way to check out people's gear and the little things that do not get talked about as much (i.e. how people store their razors, or those rare/obscure items that nobody has ever seen before.... etc, etc). Also shows how different B&Ber's tastes can actually be... AND it is one shure fire way for all of us to see who the truly OBSESSED are!!

I haven't really spent enough time on the forum to have a "favorite thread" but one that I found immensely useful was this: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=21136 especially as a newbie wetshaver
