Thread: Banned from Badger and Blade

I just got a life time ban from Badger and Blade because I encouraged a member to try a straight after Joel said he shouldn't.

It will take time, and you should start slow. Shave your cheeks, and finish with your M3, next shave, try to get a little closer on your cheeks and maybe try a larger area. expect several months before you can shave your whole face, and a year before you don't have to touch something up with the M3.
your last M3 cartridge may last you several months...
This forum leans towards DE razors, and they dabble in straights.
StraightRazorPlace.com is the place to go if you want to try a straight and don't want to hear why you should stick with a DE.

I'm afraid I just don't see the whole DE thing... I thought they used them because they were afraid of using a straight, until I saw that there is actually RAD for DE's... go figure. It's a different tool, and has different rules, but it will still out perform a mach 3.

Did you read this thread at all? That's the worst advice i've ever heard. The fella can't get the hang of a DE..... and you think he'll master a straight, and we're all DE users - so he should go elsewhere.

Uhhh.... why are you here?

I responded that This was the straight razor section of a shaving forum, and that I'm here to help members learn to use a straight.

I also advised Joel that he was being unhelpful, and overly negative.
That it was understandable that the member was having trouble with a DE , and if he didn't want to provide assistance and encouragement he should go play with his DE new leg shaver...

Obviously B&B has no sense of humor.

You have been banned for the following reason:
Shill you b/s elsewhere...
Date the ban will be lifted: Never

Nice work. We're getting a quite a few refugees from B&B these days... You guys should start a support group.

That is unfortunate.

This just cracked me up.

There is actually a dog training board I haven't been allowed to join because of a disagreement I had with one of their mods in person over five years ago. After talking about this with some of the other people I know it turns out they turn down over half the people who want to join most for the very same reason.



Its a cruel world on the internet boards.

shame we cant all just try to help each other.

I'd be curious to know the username of the poor chap trying to straight shave.

I think RW just got banned too.

His name on B&B is Oldfashioned
Maybe someone who hasn't been banned can help the poor guy before they scare him away.

You guys can read the posts, I didn't think I was being out of line... If Joel is so anti-Straight, why do they have a straight razor section?

He even asked me why I was at B&B... aparently they only have that section to dissuade members from trying straights and to carry out Joel's personal vendettas.

Totally agree.

Actually our position has been one of cooperation with all the forums. I totally agree that we should be behaving as one big happy family. We have tried to include all the forums in our activities and will continue to do so. The goal here is to preserve the art of straight razor shaving and we have been doing a great job of that since the beginning.

Have fun.

Ya know, come to think of it, I may have been banned from over there too........
