Great post mate......A category for Best "bricks and mortar" Shop is in the plans, so Iain can be nominated in there,...even non-winners get valuable exposure just by being nominated.My thoughts for what their worth
I would like to see an annual award/vote, as this would help to promote good shaving i.e. seeing what's out there, as for me there is always something new to learn.
I like the idea of an award/vote to promote/thank/acknowledge innovation and excellent product service - some of the new SE/GEM razors this year have been truly excellent, in terms of design and performance.
It would also be good to celebrate those who take a business risk, in terms of stocking and supplying goods. For me, this year, hats off to Connaught Shaving, for stocking the Supply-SE (v1.0 and 2.0) as these are great razors, I appreciate YMMV, and locally to Iain in the Gentleman's Groom Room, Dundee, not only for his advice and help, but for the excellent range of products that he stocks, notably for managing to get his hands on the Muhle Rocca at the start of the year, along with the Wickham Soap Co. 1912 Citrus Musk Shaving Soap, not least his own range of home grown soaps and his Pre-shave prep +.
In terms of the many excellent posts here, could we have a shave of the day photo of the month vote, or even photograph of the year. The work that must go into the photographs is excellent, as is seeing new things and new combinations.
I also like the idea of metaphor/simile of the year - I nearly pissed my self laughing, when the dolphin smooth banter started, earlier this year.
There is much to celebrate and be thankful for.
All the best.
Chris
Of course Paul,....although I find it hard to quantify the value of not votingWill it be acceptable to leave a section blank if you feel it can not be answered fairly? @Far Cry Toff

So you would exclude Old Spice shave soap,....1912 razors, Fatboys, Slims and Schicks from the lists of All-time favourites?....So far some very good suggestions.
The only thing I would add is that candidates where they are a product should be in current production and obtainable for retail customers (unless a vintage category is introduced specifically). No point promoting expensive unobtainium

Overseas Retailer?Purely as a suggestion, in the interests of simplicity I would actually run with
Best razor - DE
Best razor - Other
Best brush
Best soap
Best cream
Best blade - DE
Best blade - Other
New product of the year
Retailer of the year
Manufacturer of the year
Best value item

All except the latter should be currently available
