Hi Guys.
I'm relatively new to this awesome site, and I've found the acronyms here both fascinating and confusing.
Is there a glossary anywhere on this site ? This would be a great help for new guys who don't know a WTG from a BBS from a TI.

Hi Guys.
I'm relatively new to this awesome site, and I've found the acronyms here both fascinating and confusing.
Is there a glossary anywhere on this site ? This would be a great help for new guys who don't know a WTG from a BBS from a TI.
There WAS a glossary, but I'm afraid that was lost in the server crash.
I'll start with a few:
BBS: Baby butt smooth
WTG: With the grain
XTG: cross the grain
ATG: against the grain
TI: Thiers-Issard (a brand of high end French razors)
Wapi: short for a inexpensive polish brand of razor Wapienica
SRP: Straight Razor Place (.com)
B&B: Badger & Blade (.com)
TM: Tony Miller strops
MB: Mama Bear Soap
TGQ: The Gentlemen's Quarter soaps
MWF: Mitchell's Wool Fat soap
RAD: Razor Acquisition Disorder
HAD: Hone AD
SAD: Soap AD
BAD: Brush AD
Hope this starts us off right!

You forgot the most important acronym of all, particularly in the context of the various acquisition disorders--SWMBO--->She Who Must Be Obeyed.
Here is a Wiki on razor stuff.
