Ok, so I've seen mantic and sharpologist and a whole bunch of other YouTube shaving cognoscenti doing their demos and reviews and shave-offs. But, is there something... more? Is there or has there ever been a regular video series focused on shaving? The Mastering the Art of French Shaving, The Pogonotomist, Creamed, The Stainless/Naked/Barefoot/ Barber, Barbershop Confidential, Top Shave, Fearless Shaving, Shaves of the Rich and Famous?
If so, who made/makes it?
If not, who on this site should be involved in it? Who in general should be involved?
What would you want to see?
What would I want to see (ad of this moment).... hmmm, to start with:
PANDORA'S SHAVING BOX of mystery, danger, excitement, glamour, luxury, ambition, obsession, possession, blades, blood and extacy! Male culture, style, performance, technologies, techniques, luxury, comfort and care from the great cultures around the world. From Neanderthal to Justin Bieber, men have shaved. How? With what? Who did it? What'd it look like? Why? Every culture, place and age have their styles, techniques, tools, rituals, characters, masters, and stories. What are they? From history to technology, west to east, how to's on every subject. Men have scavenged the earth for this! Secrets of the barbers to royal palaces of the Bourbons and Hapsburgs to ancient tribal techniques from deep within the pirana infested, cannibal-ruled tributaries of the Amazon where the fat and bristle of the giant albino capybaras is so coveted they've been fought over for centuries, from the latest patented razor and blade technologies to the hand made wonders of an off-the-grid badger hunter (soon to be appearing in a reality TV show of his own), the backwoods Montana (or Vietnamese) buffalo milk soap moonshiner, and Chartreuse infused eau de toillette made by the Brothers of of the Monastery and Barbering Seminary of Mount St. Martin De Porres, to the favorite and last and gem encrusted razors of these historic personages. Here's the Gillette story. The history of double edge shaving. How soaps are made and major techniques and makers; ditto creams, eau de toillettes, balms, brushes, razors, etc. How to make your own x, y, z. Facial hairstyles and how to manage them. The best places to get a shave around the world. Shaving rituals among the ______ tribes of Africa, South America, etc.
Main cable TV show, very story, drama, location driven, accompanied by a news you can use how-to and products site, then a deeply content filled repository and community.
Hmmmm, who're the sponsors? Target market(s)? What are the trends driving it? How do we ensure a large enough audience, valuable enough target markets and engagement to make it profitable?
