shave forums
- Thread starter donald bathe

No idea, but this one has to be one of the oldest.
I know some forums go back to the 2002-2003 timeframe as I was a member of them.

'twas an interesting time. Gear was quite limited.
Your razor was: Vintage Gillette or new Merkur
Your blade was: Merkur, Feather, Derby, Personna, Astra, Wizamet Polsilver, or Gillette Swede.
Your soap was: Artisan glycerin melt and pour, L'Occitane Cade, Tabac, Proraso, Speick, MWF, Williams, P160, Cella, Valobra, or VDH
Your brush was usually a Vulfix or Simpson badger or an Omega Boar
Your aftershave was either Drug Store American or Drug Store European.
It was still an awesome time, but nothing like today. There have been all kinds of tremendous leaps in gear.
awesome new razors.
hot process artisan soaps
amazing synthetic brushes
etc.

Have not been here for a couple of years. That is why. Why? Why decline to help.
2012. Because that's when I found B&B and my life wallet was ruined.
The shave forums started way back when men stood in line down the street waiting for a straight shave. Probably every morning. The men in line talked about brushes, straight razors, hot towels, aftershaves and who was the best barber. Oh yeah this an old thing.
