    I'm one of these young guys that grew up with computers, so I've had internet connections from about ten years old, using a 14.4 kbps modem. I'm sure I've always gone to forum posts as references, but its only the last few years that I've become an active member on some of my most frequented ones. For a couple years I was really into auto detailing forums, but the one I liked has new owners now, and I just can't get a feel for the redesigned site. Where I live, I get rain about 8 months a year anyway, so its rare that I can get out a polisher and have a reflective non-marred clearcoat. I was turned to wetshaving a few years ago, and I never went back to electric or cartridge, I started looking for razors in collectible shops and turned proper shaving into a hobby. When I got into straight razors, I found this forum, as I looked into techniques and honing.

    Googled something to do with shaving, and here it was.

    I was visiting the BullGooseShaving.com website and found TSD listed on the forums page. Thought I would check out the site and after looking around knew that I wanted to join.

    I (thinking I had an "original" thought) recently returned to DE shaving and was looking for a good source of new blades. A Google search lead me here. I've been reading the forum, liking the vibe, so this is my second post (more or less).

    Thanks to Bill and Sparky for getting me past my registration issues.

    Tony AKA Freebird recruited me to participate in the Grab Bag v1.0
    hahaha, me too! More than once! But I'd probably be banned here as well if I didn't delete some of my own honest remarks :happy102 Nobody's perfect, including TSD or even me :p

    really? that's your story?

    I totally expected your response to include the phrase "there were no more flash games on the rest of the internet left for me to win...":D

    We will blame whoever used to be king of the arcade for getting me hooked on the flash game thing. He kept taking back my scores :mad: Which reminds me, it's almost time to place another order for some MWF bath soap...

    I got drunk and woke up here one morning.


    They haven't been able to get rid of me since.

    The Judge sent me to rehab, said there was a great support group at the shave den. I'm still looking for the exit.

    Seriously though, I was looking for a horn handled shave brush. I found this and one or two other forums. I had never seen a more selfless or caring group of people on any other forum period. So I stayed. It started as research, became a hobby, then an obsession.

    Note to self: I really do need to get one of Kim's Handicraft brushes.

    Hello! (first message on TSD :D )

    I googled my way here in search of a batter shave.

    Just for the record...(sigh)

    I'm a very active member of another forum. This site was recommended to me by another member some time ago, but I didn't visit very often. I came here often to lurk and have just recently started posting more and more. It's a good forum and the members are great.

    I saw mention of The Shave Den over at the Razor & Brush forum and decided to check it out. Good thing, too, since this is one of the best wetshaving forums around!

    Well said! TSD IS the best wet shave board on the planet!

    It looks like TSD is also one of the largest forums (the largest?), as well, using the number of currently active users statistic as a measure.
