    Default What's trending on B&B?

    • Because not everyone reads B&B all day
    • Because we should catalog our craziness
    • Because how will the next generation know whose turn it is to be the hot product?


    Trending up: RazoRock soaps, Simpson Manchurian

    Trending down: Mama Bear, Shavemac

    It's probably been a year now, but boar brushes have trended up. I notice in SOTD lately that more than a third of the time, members go with boar. That didn't seem to be the case a couple of years ago.

    Trending down seems to be Merkur Razors especially the Future and Progress as they are hardly discussed anymore.
    Trending Up Vintage Adjustable and Super Adjustable Razors seem to be in high demand.

    Brushes are always up, and it seems like OC razors have really picked up.

    I don't think anything stays down for very long, as members interests are so varied.

    I'm surprised how long some things have stayed down. The custom Shavemac thread, which is a pretty good guage of interest, has not seen a lot of posts. A lot of guys were going nuts over Simpson, and while there's plenty of interest, I don't see the same fervor over building a complete collection of their models.

    Only reason it is trending down is because of a spike driven by the 2012 RV LE.

    Mama Bears trends back up any time someone mentions her.
