    I missed this thread and went to the Wiki last night and was shocked to see the unfamiliar layout. The first thing that came to mind was that I can't leave BeBerlin alone for five minutes without his changing the Wiki.

    I got over it and perused the new intro and it is very nice. It occurred to me that while someone probably would have worked on it if Robin had not the SRP Wiki wouldn't be the great resource that it is without the industriousness of BeBerlin.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Newbie request,

    It could be that it is already on the wiki, and I can't find it, but one thing that might be helpful to me, would be a page dedicated to the specific information on manufacturers of razors.

    Example:

    Name: Miscellaneous Straight Razor Co.
    Date of operation: 1857-1858
    Location: Brussels, Belgium
    Other info: Also made razors under the name "Misc. Razor Co. & Son." Taken over in 1858 by Crazy Sharp Razor Co.
    See Razors: (Link to all razors made by this mfg. in the database)

    Can be added to as people find info on specific manufacturers. Also, for all razors by said mfg. that are added to the database, maybe a link can be provided to direct the viewer to the mfg. info page.

    PS: here is a link that has been helpful for me, but it's copywrittten, so I don't know if the info can be used without permission. Straight Razor Manufacturers and Dates of Operation

    Every razor in the database currently includes near the top of the page next to the Manufacturer field either a red or a blue link to a mfr info page just as you described in your post

    Some of those pages have already been created (linked to in blue) and some have not yet been (linked to in red)

    Feel free to start helping fill them up

    I stand corrected, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. It seems that the wiki really does have everything that I need to survive in the world of razors. Excellent job guys, the new layout is sweet.

    Thank you for your kind words. Kudos to clavichord for the idea with the graphics, and to hoglahoo for his persistence with respect to keeping it all well aligned.

    Any road, the Wiki needs your support. If your manufacturer of choice is still a red link, feel free to amend and enhance.

    Regards,
    Robin

    i got to be honest guys.
    the wiki is pretty useless.
    i know its not a paid service and doesnt have round the clock tech support...

    but i find that even when im searching for articles ive been too before, there not where they were, and searches return irrelevant results.
    about the only way i can ever find what i want is just type in ultra-generic searches like "razor" or "shave" and scroll through dozens of posts...
    its easier to browse the forum for links to stuff in the wiki
    *sorry not trying to be whiney. just frustrated ignore me

    I guess one invertebrate's junk is a bunch of forum members' treasure!

    Although it isn't perfect, it isn't useless, and we are always looking to improve the wiki
