1. It takes time and effort - not a lot of people are willing to do it.
2. The user integration is broken - if you don't already have priveleges, you need to request to be manually added. The best way to do that is with a post in the site help / comments / suggestions area.

If you want to add some stuff, send me a PM and I'll get your account set up for it.


As to the condition of the razors - restored or unrestored doesn't matter as long as they are in an unaltered state.
So for restorations - take the rust off, clean them, etc... If you change scales or hardware, then don't put them in the database. We want manufacturer original stuff.

If I buy a razor from an antique store, how do I know if the scales are original? I have a George Butler & co. that ive never seen anywhere else. has it been altered? should I just try to add it anyways?

Well, Ferret-Face, (you need to change your avatar to you lathering with the ferret. Yes, the baby is cute!) You can post it with photos in the "razors" forum. Some smarty-pants will tell you allll about it! Seriously, I feel a tutorial on how to do this is in order. I have lots of info provided by Neil Miller, Manah, and others in my posts. Some with awesome detail. I would like to take a rainy day and add them to the database. We need a way to discern if our added info is correct. Or at least as correct as we know collectively. That should be stressed as criteria.
We have a resource, let's add to it. Perhaps someone in the know would look at it on occasion and make corrections if needed. Perhaps this is already being done. I, for one, am very interested.

A tutorial on how to do what exactly? Add a razor to the wiki database, or add pictures to the razor forum or something else?
