Hey we started on badger and blade, until we were all band
Hehe. That brings back memories. I remember resorting to 'PM-ing' various UK members because of the threat of being banned if posting on the public forums. Can't even remember why now. Luckily, TSR was born and never needed to look back.
As implied you know there was a Damn Fine Shave v1 circa 2008. Simply Shaving was around 2009/10 that morphed into The Shave Nook.I've asked on the other forums that I've listed(not all of the since I'm registered to 8 only) and it seems that the chronological order is:
1. Straightrazorplace forum(now sharprazorpalace)
2. Shavemyface forum
3. Badger and blade forum
4. The shave den forum(was created in 2007)
5. Theshavingroom.co,uk forum(was created in 2009)
6. Subreddit wicked_edge(was created in 2010)
7. Romanian forum forum.barbieritdelux.ro(was created in 2011) I am Romanian, that's why I've listed it
8. Shavenook forum(was created in 2012)
9. Damnfineshave forum the second incarnation(was created in 2015)
10.Atgshaving forum(was created in 2016)
11. The facebook group straight razor place facebook(was created on 1 March 2018)
12. Theshavingcadre forum(was created on 14 March 2018)
These are the one I know of so far.
Yes I know about the first Damn Fine Shave version. I've listed the second.As implied you know there was a Damn Fine Shave v1 circa 2008. Simply Shaving was around 2009/10 that morphed into The Shave Nook.
Yea not all of us but a good percentage, for generally just being ourselfs
And disbanded our part of the forum
Assuming he was serious, that is not only uptight, it is really weird.Christ B&B were so uptight back in the day, I remember having a dialogue with a mod (JIM I think) when he asked what my pastor would say because we were organising CONUK group buys amongst ourselves without B&B's express permission?
From what I know Straight Razor Place Yahoo Group transformed into Straightrazorplace forum(now the Sharprazolpalace forum).The Straight Razor Place Yahoo Group and Wet Shavers on MSN Groups are generally considered the oldest wetshaving forums. Both predate The Straight Razor Place and Shave My Face forums. That is assuming you consider MSN Groups and Yahoo Groups to be forums. I do, as they had the same general layout. Charles Roberts, a barber in Austin, Texas who created "Method Shaving" apparently had a short-lived MSN shaving group even before Wet Shavers (ref. Sharpologist). I never saw any other mention of this group, and do not know what it was called.
Suffice it to say that the Internet aspect of the current wetshaving culture had its roots sometime in the mid to late 1990s. That was also the time frame in which home Internet access became widespread. "The Straight Razor Place Yahoo group and Charles Roberts' MSN group in the late 1990s" is likely as good as an answer as you will get.
BTW - The Straight Razor Place forum - the real Straight Razor Place forum at the original URL - is now back online.
