I have become increasingly aware that so many within our wet shaving community are hurting and seeking support, particularly during these trying times. However, the support they receive often times does not match the support they had hoped for. What should we expect from each other in the community, and how important is it that we communicate those expectations? What level of support should we expect from wet shaving groups around issues not related to shaving?
