That's right, B&B will have been the premier wetshaving destination on the web for 5 years this month.

Thanks to Joel, Nick, Scott (Scotto), Andrew (Austin), Randy (Rtaylor61), Randy (rschul2), Ron (guenron), Mark (mark the shoeshine boy), Art (AACJ), and Rik for saving us all from a lifetime drudgery of canned goo and cartridges and giving us a cool place to hang!! :001_smile

While B&B didn't get me started (I ordered my first DE & blades about a week before joining), B&B has definitely improved the journey and helped me explore more options in the world of wetshaving. Not to mention the many other thing I have discovered and indulged in as a result of joining this site! :happybday::clap::sorcerer::a50::a17:

I would like to extend my thanks to these fine people as well. A special thank you to Joel for helping me with a shaving issue that might have stunted my growth as a born again retro-shaver. He and I haven't communicated recently but I certainly want to assure him that his input was timely and long-lasting.

I also want to thank letterk for writing the article that initiated this journey and led me to this forum (first link in my signature).

Happy Birthday, B&B! And i hope that you (and every member) will be around many more years to make all of our wet shaving journey's and adventures a learning experience. And thank you for being such a wonderful AD self-help platform! Whichever wet-shaving AD form one may suffer from, B&B is guaranteed to make life easier for you :thumbup:

So was it 5 years ago that Joel got kicked out of every other shave forum?
Or is that just rumor?

Happy birthday, B&B! A big thanks to the people who keep B&B running and more thanks to the members who make this place what it is!

If possible, can a mod or admin post some metrics on year-over-year growth and site traffic? It'd be fun to see the progress and growth over five years.
