What are the oldest wet shaving forums(from the oldest the the newest) between: Shavemyface, Straightrazorplace, Badger&Blade, Shavenook, Theshaveden, Theshavingroom.co.uk, Damnfineshave, Atgsaving forum and the subreddit Wicked_edge?
Probably SRP is he oldest forum. It goes back to 2005 and before that was a Yahoo Groups Site for several years.
What he said^^^^
Thats my understanding too.
I've asked on the other forums that I've listed(not all of the since I'm registered to 8 only) and itseems that the chronological order is:
1. Straightrazorplace forum(now sharprazorpalace)
2. Shavemyface forum
3. Badger and blade forum,
4. The shave den forum(was created in 2007)
5. Theshavingroom.co,uk forum(was created in 2009)
6. Subreddit wicked_edge(was created in 2010)
7. Romanian forum forum.barbieritdelux.ro(was created in 2011) I am Romanian, that'swhy I've listed it
8. Shavenook forum(was created in 2012)
9. Damnfineshave forum the second incarnation(was created in 2015)
10.Atgshaving forum(was created in 2016)
11. The facebook group straight razor place facebook(was created on 1 March2018)
12. Theshavingcadre forum(was created on 14 March 2018)
These are the one I know of so far.
Here is some more information on the beginnings (I guess)

The real SRP FB page is here and was created in 2009
https://www.facebook.com/groups/SRPs...?ref=bookmarks
but a gentleman from another forum told me that in 1999 there were already shaving forums like this, https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum...#post-10520511
what would he mean that by the late 90s there were already shaving forums then????? rsvp.

The original SRP was a yahoo groups site and I reckon it started around 2000. This site started around 2005 and I was a member on the yahoo groups site a few years before that.
why would you say that then???? how would he be misinformed then??? rsvp.
that wouldnt make any sense because yahoo groups started in january of 2001 according to wikipedia and not the date that youre giving me! go to wikipedia and punch in yahoo groups......... it couldnt have started in 2000! so before yahoo groups, what was online regarding wet shaving then?????? rsvp.
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?
:shrug:
Thank you Tom..
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
Back in the 'DOS' days!
I could never do anything except play Wolfenstein before Windows! :rofl2:
Seriously, James. We are in the here and now. Things change.
Welcome to the forum! :tu
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?
He's gone? :thinking:
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.

Going to be even more interesting to see where you decide to go from here
But Welcome to the ORIGINAL Straight Razor Forum SRP anyway
Indeed, tho hard to take a link from B&B's Clown House forum seriously.Quote:

I don't think it matters all that much who started first, second, last. We have many great online communities and many of them have roots in other communities which have preceded them. Some people tend to gravitate around few or one, others are active in many.
I am proud of our history as one of the oldest communities and I am glad that there are many others who provide a home and support for those who may prefer a slightly different flavor than ours. I think we all appreciate and enjoy that we can learn from and help each other, whether on an individual level or as various communities :)
I like to think of us as stewards of what was created by tens of thousands of people over many many years and it's a privilege to preserve and expand this knowledge. This translation by one of our members of an almost 300 year old text is just a small example of the breadth and the depth that we have here.
Still to me the primary raison d'etre for our community is the people who are part of it at right this moment of time as well as those who we are lucky to reach every day. It's based not only on common interest but more than that on common values - honesty, integrity, generosity, graciousness, and above all love for each other!
Not much has chancged. Love the drawings like the yard long razor in the hands of a very small man
when did msn wetshavers go online if you dont mind me asking? rsvp
because if what i know now i had known then i would have used proraso or some other shave prep and not make the mistake of experiencing irritation on my face! thats why. rsvp
so msn wetshavers were around long before yahoo clubs then? is that what youre saying then? between the two, who went online first and in what year if you dont mind me asking? rsvp
what is msn email address by any chance? rsvp. thank you.
Seriously, the horse ain't getting up :deadhorse:
