Just as the title asks, when does something in this hobby of ours become vintage?
Unless there's some definite timeline for an item or product to become vintage, this is obviously very subjective. For purposes of what most of us are able to acquire as it relates to wet shaving, "our" collections probably date back to the early 1800s giving us a time frame of over 200 years.
My uneducated guess would be most of the razors and hones in use today were manufactured in the past 15-20 years so would you think that's the benchmark?
Would love to hear your thoughts. Maybe this has been discussed already?
