One of the great things about this hobby is how much there is to learn. The longer I collect and shave the more I learn and the more I want to grow. There are a lot of people here with a wealth of knowledge, let's share it in a fun way that gets people curious to learn more!
A couple of rules...
1) Your trivia question must be based in fact. Nothing like, "What is the best TTO safety razor?" While that question might have an answer based in fact for you, it isn't verifiable for everyone. Nothing involving personal opinion or based on hearsay.
2) In order to ask a question you must answer the previous question...discussion is always welcome and you need not answer a question to join in the conversation.
3) When offering an answer you must quote the post which asked the question. This will help keep answers and questions together as we move along.
4) Don't be afraid to ask a poster for their source on a bit of info they provide/don't be offended if you are asked. No one is "calling anyone out". This is about learning and growth. Sometimes the answer is "I just know" and in many cases experience is the answer. Hopefully in most cases though we can find a verifiable source such as the shave wiki or The Safety Razor Compendium. That being said you need not provide a source to answer a question, just be aware someone might like to research a topic further and a source can be very helpful.
5) All aspects of this hobby are open for questions and answers. SE/DE/SR/Shavette/Fragrance/Soap/Cream/brushes/etc. Anything you have knowledge of relating to shaving that you think others may not know or may find interesting. Again, this is about learning, growth and fun!
6) As always, gentlemanly and ladylike discourse is the rule of the day. It is okay to disagree or question an answer or comment's validity but please do so respectfully.
I'll get things started with a question I think many of you will immediately know the answer to:
In the Gillette alphanumeric date code system, which letter of the alphabet is omitted?
