Thread: Shaving Acronyms!

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.
