I already fixed that.

I thought the razor was marked "sons" but it is actually "son's" - my bad thanks!

I might suggest adding a point type chart to the grind chart. Not positive I know the difference on a couple of those. And if I don't, then I'm probably not the only one...

awesome work, gents!

Adding to the database just got easier. All you need to do now is fill out the form and the page name will automatically be created for you.

Still try to check the database for existing razor, so you do not create a duplicate though.

I stole part of this from razor central and the spanish point from xman - do you think this could work for now?

That should work just fine.

Thats fricking awesome! Thanks!

I think contributors should also include the original coffins in the photos where possible.

A thought for the dabase.... organization!

as more razors are added the list is going to get very ugly. if perhaps the had a main page for each manufacturer which perhaps gave as much history and various trademarks of the make and then form that page a link to all the different razors we have found for the maker.


clear as mud?

For now, we have e.g. this: Manufacturer Dovo - Straight Razor Place Wiki

Ben is working on a much refined version of this, obviously. I belive that using Extension:Semantic Drilldown - MediaWiki, we will eventually have something like this: Browse data - Discourse DB.
