Welcome to The Shave Den!

[Mama Bear]

I just wanted to welcome everyone here.. we are hoping to be a little more open and friendly here and still learn as much as possible about the art of wetshaving.. Thank you for visiting us and we hope that you will stay and become part of the family...

Our first day was yesterday.. the day before The Superbowl... I think (being a Bears fan) that it is an auspicious date.. we're going to win... all of us! There aren't many posts yet, but this will change with time... and with your help..

Bear Hugs!

Sue (Mama Bear)

[Frankenface]

Another nice forum. It seems that we are a growing group. Now, there's one more site that will cost me money. Someone, will start talking about the nicest new soap or the sharpest blade and I will have to buy it. You gotta love variety!
Anyway, I am a huge Packer fan, but I will tell all you Bear fans the same thing that I personally told Ruben Brown 4 hours after the NFC championship game, "REPRESENT"!!!

[Baloosh]

Always nice to see another wetshaving forum come alive!! :cool:

[Lyrt]

Damn, I need to find another avatar.

[Queen of Blades]

Welcome to The Shave Den Lyrt!

What's wrong with your usual avatar?

[Lyrt]

Nothing’s wrong with my usual avatar. It’s just that I never use the same avatar on different boards.

This is my B&B avatar:

And this is my SMF avatar:

[SSLSTudio...]

Damn, I need to find another avatar.

Nice to see you around, great.
Do what ever you want.. keep the old or get a new avatar. they seem a bit more open minded here.. very friendly people..and the lather is just as warm here. :D

[Queen of Blades]

I see.

Well I can't help you with that. :o

[SSLSTudio...]

Perhaps one of your great SOTD pics can do for the time being Yukio ?
I love that one you made with the Feather straight and the nice japanese flower on the soap.

[Lyrt]

Well I can't help you with that.
Don’t worry, I’ll find.

Perhaps one of your great SOTD pics can do for the time being Yukio ?
My arrogance has its limit too.

I love that one you made with the Feather straight and the nice japanese flower on the soap.
It was a pansy, I don’t think it’s specifically Japanese.

[Queen of Blades]

I remember a picture of a very sexy straight, that you posted at TOP (the other place).

That would make a great avatar.

[StevieStage]

It is a pleasure to belong to this particular forum and be among nice people who share the same interest.

Not sure which picture I like the best. Probably the first picture.

No, I picked it up. I usually use things as they are.


That's the one!

The pictures I actually posted on B&B are these ones:

I meant that was the razor. :o

[Lyrt]

Done! Absolutely indiscernible. :D

[Queen of Blades]

What is your avatar, Yukio?

[Lyrt]

What is your avatar, Yukio?

An artwork by a Japanese artist. I hesitated between these two ones:

[Queen of Blades]

They are both lovely, Yukio. :)

If the choice had been mine, I probably would have gone with the second one. Of course it depends on which one looks better in the avatar box.

[Lyrt]

Simple:

And I'm off to bed. It's 3:30AM here.

[Queen of Blades]

Good night.

[PalmettoB]

Steve, Fred: welcome aboard!

Lyrt: glad you found us, man. The photos are still amazing!

[Mama Bear]

Damn, I need to find another avatar.


LOL!!! Welcome Fred, Steve and Yukio!! I thought that was an orchid tho, not a pansy... :eek:

My Goodness, I have to say I never thought I would see pictures like those on our forum... I have tears in my eyes...

Awesome Yukio. Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[Lyrt]

I add that when I registered I was asked if I had found the forum via another member. I entered nothing as I didn’t know his member name, but he actually always use the same: Leisureguy. I read his blog.

[Mama Bear]

Ah! It's all Michael's (Leisureguy) fault.... :D :D I am glad that you are both here! :)

Leisureguy's Blog is pretty awesome, he gets some of the best news bits I have ever seen all in one place. I feel like I ought to be checking it every day! Yukio, are you a professional photographer?

[Lyrt]

I appreciate the compliment behind the question, but I’m certainly not a professional photographer. My DIY set-ups are made of cardboard boxes and aerobatics. :D

[DragonBoy]

Lyrt, the photos are amazing !! Keep them coming :) And the razor is absolutely beatiful !! I wanna !! Guess it costs a pretty penny.. Where did you get it? :cool:

Finally made it here, after a semi-minor registration glitch. High tech and 50+ don't always mix! It takes some of us a little longer to catch on I guess?

Hi all!

"Need?" What is this "need" of which you speak? Like we don't "need" two or three (or ten, or twenty) razors, or enough brushes, creams and soaps to shave the populace of a small country, etc.

But we got 'em! Why?.....uh....because! :happy102

Welcome to the madness, Smedley.

[Cowtown]

Hi Mama Bear and thanks for the welcome. You probably remember me as Phog Allen. You sent me a nice sample of your a/s milk scented with almond and laced with cucumber hydrosol. Good stuff. You have a nice forum here. I am particularly interested in the aspects of soap making and will post from time to time asking questions. I saw that Cyn from Mullers Lane is here too. Great. I've been to her site. It's really neat. Thanks again. BTW, those from out here in "jumping off" territory will recognise Cowtown as the nickname for Kansas City. Just in case you wondered. Oh, another BTW is "jumping off". It was what was done at Westport(little nightclub area in K.C.)during westward expansion. You literally jumped off the known world of the U.S. into the wilderness. Sometimes at night Westport will still remind you of that!

I kept looking for all the fun threads @ TOP, but could not find them or y'all(my southern family would be proud of that one). And of course the only mention was that Sue and JoAnna were busy with another forum. I figured if I hung around long enough, I would find you guys-there was no way everyone disappeared or stopped being involved in wetshaving @ the same time.

So here I is! :D
