What is the Drubbing Way and the Thomas Method? I've been seeing this on @Mark1966's posts since I joined, but I can't find it on the forums PS I'm currently 3 hours behind Australia & no one else is awake here

I should let the Drubster explain The Drubbing Way more fully, but it is not simply an approach to shaving, it is a way of life. Think Japanese rock gardens, zen and minimalism. No shaving forum bull**** about breaking in boars or hanging badgers to dry or loading your brush in 27 1/2 swirls clockwise. It is not a method, but an attitude - a Way.

The Thomas Method (R) comes from none other than our own @gthomas04. Ruminated on in this thread, Which is best? SE or DE? The Great 2012 Shave-Off, where the master himself gave me some advice as I was comparing SEs and DEs -

'Try the both on both sides method - first pass the SE second the DE - I find it the best of both worlds.'

These simply yet profound words capture The Thomas Method. Rejected in a poll on Badger and Blade as madness, at one point it came up in the first 3-4 search results for 'The Thomas Method' on Google, now it has become an ancient secret, known only to a few and hidden deep in the bowels of the Googleverse.

There you are young one. Hold these secrets close, they are profound and will take a lifetime to master. I am merely a student myself, learning, striving, growing, aspiring to one day, one time reach the purity and completeness that these offer.

Thanks for asking @FluffyGroodle. I was never game to. Makes you feel like we're on a 'journey' now doesn't it, and all this time our wives just thought we suffering various obsessive addiction disorders.

I show my other half @borked's collection of stuff or @SydBJW's soaps, and all I have to say is....

"At least I don't buy as much as these guys!"

and @SydBJW shows his other half your and my blade collection for a reprieve, I show family & friends the razor collection held by @Mark1966 and brush collection of @ben74
So by mutually acquiring, we're perfuming a service for each other

I need a picture of your collections, so I can say to my wife that I have a long way to go

WOW!!!

Wow indeed
Rumour has it, bits of it are for sale at the right price, by private offer.
Or if you desire to take over the role of curator, a settlement price can be discussed
