Our sub was created on Oct 29, 2009 by a one /u/perfectshave.

From my vast and extensive research, I have determined that this was the very first post on /r/wetshaving, posted approximately 1h and 23m after the sub was created, by the creator.

Using subredditstats.com, I came with some numbers. The number of days is how long it took to get to that benchmark from the previous one.

• October 29, 2009 – Date of Creation

• April 20, 2016 – reached 100 subscribers - 2375 days

• September 22, 2017 – reached 5k subscribers - 510 days

• December 19, 2018 – reached 10k subscribers - 453 days

• September 29, 2019 – reached 15k subscribers - 284 days

• April 23, 2020 – reached 20k subscribers - 207 days

• August 19, 2020 – reached 25k subscribers - 118 days

• September 10, 2020 – reached 30k subscribers - 22 days

• October 13, 2020 – reached 35k subscribers - 33 days

I started putting these numbers together in order to determine what happened around here starting in August, which is when subscriber numbers started to increase dramatically.

I don’t know what it was but something happened on August 4th. From the 4th to the 5th, we went from 22,173 subscribers to 22,353 subscribers and the increase hasn’t really stopped. It’s been pretty cool to watch. Check out the graph here.

Anyways. Here’s to 11 more years! As one of the mods said when I PM’d them about this, “/r/wetshaving is almost old enough to start shaving.”
