What's trending on B&B?

[Vlad]

• Because not everyone reads B&B all day
• Because we should catalog our craziness
• Because how will the next generation know whose turn it is to be the hot product?

Trending up: RazoRock soaps, Simpson Manchurian

Trending down: Mama Bear, Shavemac

Forgot the recent intrest in OC & SE Razors.

It's probably been a year now, but boar brushes have trended up. I notice in SOTD lately that more than a third of the time, members go with boar. That didn't seem to be the case a couple of years ago.

Brushes are always up, and it seems like OC razors have really picked up.

I don't think anything stays down for very long, as members interests are so varied.

I'm surprised how long some things have stayed down. The custom Shavemac thread, which is a pretty good guage of interest, has not seen a lot of posts. A lot of guys were going nuts over Simpson, and while there's plenty of interest, I don't see the same fervor over building a complete collection of their models.

Only reason it is trending down is because of a spike driven by the 2012 RV LE.

Mama Bears trends back up any time someone mentions her.
