How Did You Find This Site?

**xman** · 08-20-2006, 05:57 PM

We sporadically talk about why we choose to shave straight, but I was wondering about the effectiveness of this group in the near vacuum of information out there so here's one for you:

How did you find this sight?

I was doing a lot of preliminary research last early year and went to Yahoo to join all the straight razor groups there and see if I could get the straight(lol) dope. I think it was the second or third day after I found the old yahoo forum that Lynn posted telling everyone to come over to the new site already. He didn't post a link, but a quick search got me here and it was instantly recognisable to me as the best place to share information, hands down. Over 2,200 posts later, I still feel the same way. We all know why we stick around and we're all on the same page there.

Thanks again, Lynn

Google for me too. I was using a DE at the time and I was obsessed with the idea of using a straight razor but needed some information because I knew absolutely nothing.

Soon...hopefully people will find this site after seing our web address on one of our officially sanctioned SRP jackets :hint hint:

Google, probably.

I voted search engine. I found the yahoo srp group via google and joined. I wasn't very active there because I really find yahoo cumbersome to use. Shortly afterwards, this board was started and I haven't looked back since. Well, maybe a peek or two... I do go to the yahoo site about once a month and browse the posts there... and I still find the user interface cumbersome

. Different strokes for different folks

Old and quickly losing what little memory I once had, but I think I found this site via the wetshavers group on MSN and found that site from a wetshaving article I found after a google search on shaving. At the time I was looking for an alternative to my electric razor that met an untimely demise (splattered against a brick wall).

Joe,
I agree 100% with what you wrote. Except that I only joined the yahoo group after joining the boards here - even though I had known the yahoo group for more than a year before finding srp.com.
The yahoo group's usability was so poor for me that I rarely read and never felt like writing anything. When I found out about srp.com (I guess I must've checked out the group after a long time) I was instantly hooked.
