It was a year ago today that I posted my first wetshaving video to YouTube. I figured I'd do 5 or 6 videos and let them languish on YouTube as a reference. That first video has now been viewed over 108,000 times. The channel now stands at 1260+ subscribers with over 445,000 total views of all videos--over an hour's worth of material. To say that those numbers surpassed my expections would be an understatement.
Who'd da thunk it?
I want to thank everyone here for their continuing input, suggestions, and support.

Mark - congratulations and those are some great numbers. I hope that you have some ideas for new videos. Lastly, I should use this note as a reminder to go back and watch the videos again!

Happy anniversary!
I'm really glad you put them on the tube so I could find them and start this wonderful shaving adventure I find them great because they are a quick way to get up to speed - and I greatly enjoy the funny faces you make from time to time 
like the occasional funny moments my best teachers used to put in their lessons, that made it easier to learn and created some kind of friendly relationship between the teacher and the students.
Hope the deserved success will help you find the time and motivation to make some more!

Congrats on the anniversary.
Your videos have been a wonderful resource for me. I would love to see them on a CD or DVD to hand out to my bandwidth-challenged friends down here in the boondocks!
The only way I was able to view them was at work! ( a no no, but well worth taking a chance!)
Most of my buddies either are computer-challenged or bandwith-challenged.
