The Knowledge

So here's a collection of links to videos that I feel include some very good information regarding some area of shaving.


Mastro Livi School


This 7 episode playlist from RazorGuy StraightRazorChannel touches on all the areas of straight razor shaving. Honestly, this dude must live in Livi's shop. LOL.



The Knife Maker

Season 1, Episode 10 of A Craftman's Legacy features Tim Zowada. See one of the world's elite metal workers create something totally unique.....Tim-ahagane. This happens to be a favorite of mine simply because I too hail from the Mitten State.



Geofatboy

Seriously, who hasn't watched one of this cat's videos after making the decision to start wet shaving? Heck, his videos are what made me decide to start wet shaving!



Sharpologist

Ok, so if you didn't start wet shaving after watching Geofatboy, you probably started after watching Mantic59. :001_smile

The Wiki.......& Beyond


I really want this section to bring together my thoughts on the B&B Wiki and how it can be made better.

Possible Upgrades:

1. Revamped Title Page (This is the page that is brought up by clicking the Wiki button on the main menu bar).

2. Mug Shots-We spend a lot of time talking about "the grain" as well as describing our whiskers using words like thick, light, dense, sparse, large diameter, small diameter, etc.... I thought it would be a good idea to have pictures to go along with these descriptions to help new guys find out what works for them quicker. And to help veterans keep things tuned up.
