    I suppose there is a point?
    Heresy from a gentleman from another forum from a one-poster in a 2 year-old thread who questions a senior Mod who has been here from the inception?

    I think a lot of people are confusing Yahoo with the “MSN Wetshavers” group. Microsoft groups were around long before Yahoo added the functionality and they went defunct in 2009. Hope this helps

    I never said 2000 for certain. If you look I said "I reckon". What I can tell you with certainty is I was a member on the yahoo groups site (and still am) at least a few years before this one. Maybe 2001 0r 2.

    Why is this so important to you that you want such precision?

    I have no clue who was first, but why would it matter? Bragging rights? On the internet? Lol.
    If you want a wet shaving forum there are a few to choose from. If you want a Straight Razor Forum than this is the place. Not much in the way of other types of razors used here. Sure, there are some, but id have to guess its more than 90% SR here.
    It's just Sharpening, right?
