Congratulations Lynn! SRP: 1 in 86,000.

Can't sleep. Let's crunch some numbers:

According to Lynn, SRP has almost 30,000 members.

World population as of 1/25/11 = 6,896,000,000.[1]

51% are men = 3,516,960,000.[2]

Of those, 73% are old enough to shave = 2,567,380,800.[3]

World males old enough to shave who are members of SRP (before "X factor") = 1 in 85,579.

1 in 85,579 multiplied by the "X factor" = 1 in 86,000.[4]

Congratulations Lynn, here's to another great decade!

Thank You Lynn for a great site and being soooooooo helpful for every-single srp member.

Yes, I've found the answers to 99.9% of my shaving questions here. True ladies and gentlemen here.

#1 on all 'O that!! It's been a great experience for me, going on quite a while for me now. I've learned so much, and know now exactly what to do with that 1st Zeepk razor I bought, yes, that's right, me too.

Congra'ts Lynn A.!! Job well done!

And proud to say it,
tinkersd of SRP!!

Lynn,
I'm proudly "part of the pack"!
Congrats.

Thanks Lynn for keeping up with this community, and for having all the patience to share all of your knowledge with us. This also goes for all the masters out there that enlighten us with your wisdom every day!!!!.....

I'm interested in statistics. How many straight edge shavers do we estimate are active (at least 1x week) in the U.S.? The world? Greater than membership in SRP, I guess?!? Or maybe not? Any ideas?

Ditto to all the above!

Does anybody remember the member numbers in 2008 ? Was it about 8000 odd?
30000 is almost like exponential growth. Awesome !!!
