Thread: 9 more to 500 razors in the SRDB

Put the Wilkinson in, and the unkown barbers point.

I will have another crack at the pictures when the sun comes out again!

Quite impressive growth really, there must be loads still to go in!

What's the count up to now?

The latest count can always be found here: Main Page - Straight Razor Place Wiki (upper right hand corner).

Just added some Heljestrands. I added them as 'C.V. Heljestrand', but they showed up as 'C V Heljestrand'. When I then realized that they should be listed under H as 'Heljestrand, C.V.', I corrected the form, but this didn't change their position in the list.

The same happens (or rather: doesn't happen) when the model is corrected in the forms. Also, I would like some convention in the model naming. Otherwise, we could have MK, M.K., M K, M [three crowns] K, M [tre kronor] K. Similarly: no 20, no20, No 20, No20, No. 20, No.20, Nr20, Nr 20, etc - you get the point.

As far as Heljestrands are concerned: I suggest 'No 20', so one capital, no dot and a space, and 'MK' with two capitals, no dots and no crowns, only and always to be used when the MK stamp is present on the reverse tang (as the same model number is sometimes used with and without MK for different razors).

Personally I think the dots are best left out of page titles

They need to be moved. The Wiki Crew will take care of that shortly.

The software isn't too smart with regards to this. We use autofill, but it's not perfect, obviously.

Ben?

Any road, thank you for taking the time to add those razors!

O, this wasn't aimed at you wiki guys, or the system, but more of an appeal to users.

And thanks once again to all involved for making and maintaining this database! Excellent idea!

Looks like the counter may be stuck. I added a pair and it still hasn't moved. I'll add another 2 later this weekend. Sorry for a bunch of edits on my first upload to the Wiki - had to try a few times to figure out the code for extra pics.

I added two more MABs to the MAB page. So two more razors, but the count doesn't change

You mean Mab Co. The "Hollow Ground" - Straight Razor Place Wiki The counter only counts articles, not pictures
