B&B CONFIDENTIAL - #3

Hello B&B'ers and welcome to the B&B Confidential. This is a feature where you can read articles about what is going on in and around Badger & Blade. For our third installment we present you with:

"B&B Du Jour"

The members here at B&B are an eclectic bunch, to say the least. We pursue many passions aside from wet-shaving, and this is evident in the many posts everyday. Here at B&B we have many threads dedicated to our members' daily use of products related to Shaving, Eating, Drinking, Smoking and Brewing. We even have a thread dedicated to Acquisitions wherein our members share their excitement over recently acquired goods with the rest of the board.


Starting out with the reason we all came here in the first place, a great shave, we have the now-fabled Shave of the Day thread. Every day you can read about (as well as view) products from all over the world being used by our members. When people say that they read the SOTD just for the articles we know they just look at the pictures.

Not only will you find some impressive set-ups in the shave of the day; you will also find some equally impressive photography.

of The Day

Here is a brief look at a few of them-

The Great Grand daddy of all these threads is the Shave of The Day-

Here you can find what your brother members are enjoying in their daily shaves. Their aftershave and EDT choices-You may find some great photos as well.

In the Fragrance forum you can find the newest of the "Of the day" threads, Fragrance of the day

In the Mess Hall we have several "Of The Day" threads-

What's For Breakfast thread, a great start to the day-

What's for Dinner, where the members' fare from plain and satisfying -- to out of this world -- can be found.

The Thin Blue Smoke thread
Our fire breathing brethren post some of their low and slow creations.
Tips and tricks are freely shared, word is they even help out the gassers!

Our next stop is the Haberdashery forum. The serious B&B Horologists (and not so serious) all gather at the Watch ya wearing thread.

You will more than likely meet "father time" himself, Austin, in this thread.

Lets head over to the B&B Café' and see whats brewing.

SOTD... Shave of the day? No, Sheng of the Day! This Methuselah of a thread is where all the Pu'er fans gather and share their thoughts about this aged tea from the high mountains of China.

BOTD -Black of The Day is for the Black tea fans

OOTD or Oolong of The Day is a thread about this most popular tea.

GOTD or Green of The Day is the green tea drinkers' stop.

Whats brewing is the thread where all the coffee junkies and espresso heads are to be found posting up their shots and brewing secrets.

Moving on now to the Speakeasy forum. Here you can find our IOTN or Indulgence of the night thread. The members share drinks and an occasional Cigar or pipe.

And after all the drinks, smokes and meals it's time for a workout in the Clubhouse -in the "What's your workout today?" thread

So there you have it, a post for everyone- But we always have room for more!

This makes for a very full day. B&B has broadened the horizons for a lot of us, much to the irritation of our wallets and wives.

+1. My fiance thought B&B would just cause me to spend more money on shaving. Little did she know that it would renew my interest in BBQ and put me on a quest to brew the perfect cup of tea/coffee.

Another great Confidential, thanks Jim.

B&B is currently helping me broaden my Tea horizons, I was Pifed a green tea sampler and will be buying more samples of different teas. Also, B&B helps to relax me when life is stressful.

I came here for the shave and stayed for everything else.

Great article Jim.

[Ru4scuba?]

Good post Jim! B&B is about a whole lot more than shaving tips and kit!

[Dennard]

This is the best online community, period.

That bacon weave around the tender loin looks amazing!!! I will have to look for some recipes here in the threads. That one in particular.

If I stay around this place indefinitely I am going to wind up with 50 razors and weigh 300 pounds! Or 300 razors and weigh 50 pounds because I will have to stop eating to pay the bills.

But I'll fess up and admit that I hated shaving, the results, and the discomfort for 40 years and you folks have sure turned me into an avid shaver.

I come from the most humble of beginnings, the son of a confirmed electric razor shaver. The irony of me becoming a straight razor shaver is something I still can't believe.
