    Question Where is the Reviews Section?

    Where is the reviews section? I didn't have a hard time finding it before.

    It's gone. There wasn't enough interest in it, and not enough support to maintain it.

    I understand those reason what about just adding a sub-forum under the shave equipment and use it like any other thread?

    That's one possibility, but not a very good one, as you don't get a quick review summary in the form of stars on several criteria.

    The main problem though was that over the one year when they were still available with the obsolete software there were only about 5 new posts, so to me that says the community simply wasn't interested in a review section. If that changes and there is some commitment from many senior members to post reviews on somewhat regular basis, then we'd consider bringing them back in some form, but as things are I really don't care for setting up more 'ghost areas' on the forum.

    I guess it's not such a bad thing. Despite this forum being the highest quality in terms of informed (i.e. competent) users I learned to doubt many reviews, especially those written by people who didn't give the product an honest chance or who were too inexperienced for their opinions to be worth much. Still, it would have been nice to turn to, and contribute to...

    If you are using tapatalk you can find an entry for SRP reviews forum but you cant actually open it and go to the forum.

    That must have been where my lingering special permissions were laid to rest. They are gone now
