Curated Wet Shaving Links – Brands, Artisans, Forums & More


📊 Progress Update — Ecosystem Expansion Phase

🪒 Total Indexed Links: 1222
The project continues accelerating into a large-scale global wet shaving reference system



The project has now reached a total of 1222 curated links, continuing its rapid expansion and reinforcing its transition from a traditional index into a fully interconnected wet shaving ecosystem.

What began as a categorized resource list has now evolved into a massive international discovery platform covering artisans, manufacturers, retailers, reviewers, forums, media creators, restoration specialists, niche communities, and educational content from across the world.

The continued pace of growth demonstrates both the depth of the wet shaving hobby and the incredible level of community participation supporting the project.

A sincere thank you to everyone contributing links, suggestions, and discoveries.



📈 Current Growth Highlights

Several sections have continued expanding aggressively:

S (192) — now approaching 200 indexed entries and firmly established as the largest section
T (106) — continues to require multi-part structure due to density
M (98) — rapidly approaching triple digits with strong artisan/manufacturer representation
A (74)
B (74)

📊 Weekly Progress Update — 1,500 Link Milestone Reached

🪒 Total Indexed Links: 1506
The Shaving Related Links project has officially passed the 1,500-link milestone



The project has now reached a total of 1506 curated links, marking another major milestone in its development as a global wet shaving reference ecosystem.

Since the previous progress update, the index has grown from 1222 → 1506 links, adding +284 new curated resources in a single weekly cycle.

This is a very strong expansion phase and shows that the project is no longer just growing steadily — it is now becoming a large-scale, structured, international discovery platform for traditional wet shaving.

The index now covers an even wider range of:

  • Artisan soap makers
  • Razor and brush manufacturers
  • Online shaving shops
  • YouTube creators and reviewers
  • Forums and communities
  • Vintage and restoration resources
  • International and non-English shaving-related links
  • Specialized niche makers and collectors’ resources

A sincere thank you to everyone who continues to contribute links, suggestions, corrections, and discoveries.



📈 Current Growth Highlights

Several sections have now reached very significant size:

S (235) — now by far the largest section and expanded into three parts
T (134) — remains a very large section and continues in two parts
M (109) — has crossed into triple digits and now also requires multi-part structure
A (95) — approaching the 100-link mark
B (87)
H (82)
R (77)
C (76)
L (67)
D (66)
P (57)
W (50)

The largest sections now clearly show how deep and diverse the wet shaving world is, especially across artisans, shops, brands, creators, and community resources.



🚀 Growth Since Last Update

Compared to the previous progress report:

  • Total index expanded from 1222 → 1506
  • +284 new curated links added
  • Overall index growth of approximately 23%
  • The project has passed the important 1,500-link milestone
  • Multiple sections have moved into much higher density ranges
  • The multi-part architecture is now active for M, S, and T

Notable section growth includes:

  • S: 192 → 235 (+43)
  • T: 106 → 134 (+28)
  • C: 53 → 76 (+23)
  • A: 74 → 95 (+21)
  • # / 0–9 / Other Languages: 22 → 39 (+17)
  • B: 74 → 87 (+13)
  • H: 69 → 82 (+13)
  • M: 98 → 109 (+11)
  • R: 68 → 77 (+9)
  • L: 58 → 67 (+9)
  • V: 17 → 26 (+9)
  • D: 58 → 66 (+8)

This was one of the strongest growth periods so far.



🏗️ Infrastructure & Structural Development

As the index grows, the structure has continued to evolve to keep everything readable, maintainable, and easy to navigate.

Recent structural progress includes:

  • S now split into three parts
  • T continues as a two-part section
  • M has now crossed 100 entries and has been split into two parts
  • Improved handling of large BBCode datasets within XenForo limits
  • Better long-term scalability for high-density sections
  • Cleaner navigation from the main index to each letter section
  • Continued preparation for future expansion beyond the current 1,500-link level

The project has clearly moved beyond the limits of a simple static list.

It is now functioning as a living, structured, expandable knowledge network.



🌍 International & Ecosystem Expansion

The # / 0–9 / Other Languages section has grown significantly and now contains 39 entries.

This is an important part of the project because many wet shaving resources do not fit neatly into the standard Latin alphabetical structure.

This section helps include:

  • Brands starting with numbers or symbols
  • Non-English brand names
  • International artisans
  • Regional resources
  • Resources that would otherwise be harder to categorize

The project is becoming more international, more inclusive, and more useful as a worldwide reference point.



🔗 Ecosystem Development

One of the most important ongoing developments is the connection between different types of shaving-related content.

The index now increasingly connects:

  • Main alphabetical brand and resource entries
  • YouTube creators and media channels
  • Community discussions
  • Forums and external resources
  • Retailers, artisans, and manufacturers
  • Vintage, restoration, and custom shaving content

This interconnected approach improves:

  • Discovery
  • Navigation
  • Long-term archival value
  • Community usefulness
  • Access to smaller or harder-to-find resources

The project is steadily becoming a centralized wet shaving reference hub rather than only a directory.



🔍 Areas Still Open for Expansion

Although the index is now very large, there are still sections and categories with room for growth.

Current smaller sections include:

U (3)
Q (5)
X (7)
Z (12)
I (18)
Y (23)
O (24)
N (26)
V (26)

Additional areas still worth expanding:

  • Small regional artisans
  • Non-English shaving communities
  • Vintage razor restoration specialists
  • Custom brush and razor makers
  • Independent retailers
  • Historical shaving resources
  • Educational shaving content
  • Collectors’ references
  • Wet shaving podcasts, blogs, and media channels



🤝 Community Contribution

This remains a community-driven project.

If you know of shaving-related resources that are not yet listed, please share them in the thread.

Useful submissions include:

  • Shaving artisans
  • Soap, splash, fragrance, razor, and brush makers
  • Online shops

This week’s growth was once again very strong, adding 142 curated resources and pushing the project close to the 2,000-link milestone.



🏗️ Infrastructure & Structural Development

As the index grows, the structure continues to evolve to keep everything readable, maintainable, and easy to navigate.

Current structural progress includes:

  • S has now expanded into a four-part section
  • T continues as a two-part section
  • A continues as a two-part section
  • M continues as a two-part section
  • B continues as a two-part section
  • C has now joined the multi-part structure with two parts
  • D has now joined the multi-part structure with two parts
  • H is now also structured in two parts
  • The main index now links directly to split sections where needed
  • Large BBCode datasets remain manageable within XenForo post limits
  • Navigation remains cleaner despite the growing size of the index
  • The architecture is now better prepared for future growth beyond 2,000 links

This is an important step because the project is clearly beyond the limits of a simple static list.

It is now functioning as a living, structured, expandable knowledge network.



🌍 International & Ecosystem Expansion

The # / 0–9 / Other Languages section has grown from 50 → 62 entries.

This remains an important part of the project because many wet shaving resources do not fit neatly into the standard Latin alphabetical structure.

This section helps include:

  • Brands starting with numbers or symbols
  • Non-English brand names
  • International artisans
  • Regional resources
  • Resources that would otherwise be harder to categorize

The continued growth of this section shows that the project is becoming more international, more inclusive, and more useful as a worldwide reference point.



🔗 Ecosystem Development

One of the most valuable aspects of the project is that it connects different types of shaving-related content into one structured reference system.

The index now increasingly connects:

  • Main alphabetical brand and resource entries
  • YouTube creators and media channels
  • Community discussions
  • Forums and external resources
  • Retailers, artisans, and manufacturers
  • Vintage, restoration, and custom shaving content
  • International and niche resources that are often difficult to discover

This interconnected approach improves:

  • Discovery
  • Navigation
  • Long-term archival value
  • Community usefulness
  • Access to smaller or harder-to-find resources

The project is steadily becoming a centralized wet shaving reference hub rather than only a directory.



🔍 Areas Still Open for Expansion

Although the index is now very large, there are still sections and categories with room for growth.

Current smaller sections include:

U (3)
Q (6)
X (8)
Z (16)
I (21)
V (26)
Y (26)
N (33)
O (36)
F (38)
K (39)
J (51)
E (53)

Additional areas still worth expanding:

  • Small regional artisans
  • Non-English shaving communities
  • Vintage razor restoration specialists
  • Custom brush and razor makers
  • Independent retailers
  • Historical shaving resources
  • Educational shaving content
  • Collectors’ references
  • Wet shaving podcasts, blogs, and media channels



🤝 Community Contribution

This remains a community-driven project.

If you know of shaving-related resources that are not yet listed, please share them in the thread.

Useful submissions include:

  • Shaving artisans
  • Soap, splash, fragrance, razor, and brush makers
  • Online shops
  • Forums and communities
  • YouTube channels or reviewers
  • Blogs, podcasts, or educational resources
  • Restoration or vintage specialists
  • Any useful shaving-related website or reference

Please reply in the thread and share them.

All submissions are reviewed and categorized to maintain consistency, quality, and long-term usability.



The project has now crossed 1,900 curated links and is moving very close to 2,000. It continues to grow into a structured, scalable, and interconnected global reference platform for traditional wet shaving.

Thank you all for helping build it.
