Yes, the brush is kick'n.

It's amazing that that Rustolium came up so nice on that brush Tom. How many times did you dunk?

Dude, everytime I dunked, things got worse. There is a thread.
Wot a pain...........Must be 1/8 inch of paint on that! I dried it for about 3 months and wet-sanded it with 1000 until it was pure satin. Blew 2 coats of clear on it! It worked!

Sorry, Andrew. I do see your point about the front page content staying mostly the same.
The current posts are continually updated as well as the SOTD.
The quality of the articles on the page have yet to be surpassed, IMO.

The home page is to interest passers-by, I am fairly certain.

A fellow such as yourself? The front page is where YOU are!

Not my stuff...

The pics on the front page are very tiny.... This is a razor forum, there should be a big picture of an amazing razor up front. Like your Lancet grinds, or one of Andrews rare W&B, or Mikes Gilchrist, or one of Dave's Snail Forge, or Jamie's Flying Dragon, quad belly, lava forged, Mars Ore Japanese razors. Know what I mean???

Think Andrew just chose the first 3 months cover pages right there..

I hear ya, but to lure folks in with a slousand-dollar razzer won't be as effective as portraying a community in which to learn and start out slow and steady? Some may be intimidated by Mike's Gilchrist. ( I am!)

They are sitting and looking at a nice M Jung vintage.
Hoping to make it shave.

The forum should attract new guys, some with little knowledge, to perpetrate it'self.
I have seen so many come and grow in leaps/bounds in an amazingly fast period of time.
Teaching us older members lots of things!

So you might try to look at the front page in that manner. An introduction to the new/interested. I do.

The words of wisdom....

Suppose you're right Tom..... The idea of the pics bounced into my head after thinking a few times that not much has changed on the front page. I don't know, maybe everyone's busy these days.

I don't know whether that is good, or bad?

It's on the way to YOU! I tell ya, though. It's not the brush.....It's the 'Dipped in Rustoleum' paint job! (AND the red o-rings!)
