A lot of new people joined the sub. A lot of people that wanted all the upsides of buying BIFL but none of the downsides (cost and doing research). I think I might just make an actually BIFL sub where you can only post stuff that can be bought currently and is made in the Western world(which includes Australia and New Zealand)/Japan/South Korea/Taiwan.

Absolutely top notch brands like Chicago comb company, Ashland leather, Smith's all natural, Hanks belts, Ernest Wright, Henry Hoover, Seki, Suwada, Karve shaving co., RGM, TiSurvival etc.

And where anything less is not allowed.

I would totally join that in a heartbeat. It was the main thing I was looking for in this sub, to be able to ask what are good brands for XYZ would be great. It would also feel good to contribute too!

There is nothing stopping you from posting and asking for product recommendations in this sub. A good portion of the front page of the sub is exactly that. The vintage item posts make the feed but if you actually visit the sub there is a lot of product discussion.

My Bombas socks that were gifted to me four years ago still feel like new! I can’t wear Hanes socks anymore. Too scratchy.

If you do create a sub let us know mate, I think lots of people would join.

I sure do hope that Chicago comb company has good mustache combs, I mean is there really any life to buy it for without a good mustache comb?

Do it! I would join that in a flash.

I don't even mind the "grandma's fridge" posts but I would appreciate a more focused sub, too.
