What’s new

  1. Pinch to zoom everywhere

    Every photo now supports the same pinch to zoom — on collection cards, the post page, and photos in conversations. The photo lifts above the page while you pinch and settles back into place when you let go.

    More about this update

    A moment into the pinch, the zoomed view sharpens to a higher-resolution copy of the photo, so close-ups stay crisp.

  2. Steadier photo conversations

    Photos in messages now reserve their exact space before they load, so a conversation never shifts as photos arrive. A quiet placeholder holds each photo’s spot while it loads.

  3. For Barbers Use on your home screen

    Install the site as an app on your phone — it opens full screen from its own icon and quietly keeps itself up to date.

    More about this update

    On Android, tap Install when the banner appears, or choose “Install app” from your account menu. On iPhone and iPad, open the site in Safari, tap Share, then “Add to Home Screen.” Installed or not, the site now refreshes itself shortly after improvements are released, so you are never looking at an outdated version.

  4. Notifications that reach your phone

    Turn on push notifications to hear about new comments, replies, and messages the moment they arrive — even when the site is closed.

    More about this update

    Enable them for a device from the bell menu or from Notifications in your profile settings, and turn them off in the same place any time. Your existing choices about which activity you hear about still apply. On iPhone, add the site to your Home Screen first — notifications are only available for installed apps there.

  5. A more helpful start for new collections

    An empty profile now offers a simple path to add your first razor, finish your profile, or browse other collections for inspiration.

    Before
    The earlier empty profile with a large blank panel and one link.
    After
    The improved empty profile with three clear ways to get started.
  6. Explore every photo from the collection

    Collection photos now keep their natural shape whenever practical. Swipe through every photo without leaving the collection, or pinch for a closer look on your phone.

    More about this update

    Only unusually tall photos receive a gentle height limit, so ordinary compositions are no longer forced into the same crop. The photo count follows along as you swipe, and pinching gives you a quick close-up without opening a separate full-screen view.

    Before
    A collection card where only the first photo can be viewed.
    After
    A collection card showing a horizontal swipe between photos and pinch to zoom.

  7. Faster, smoother photo conversations

    Photos in messages now appear more quickly, and new messages and reactions arrive with less waiting or jumping.

    After

  8. Better profiles and useful links

    Profiles read more naturally on phones, and every razor can now include a related website for its maker, restorer, or another helpful reference.

    More about this update

    Profile descriptions and actions now use the full phone width below the collector’s name and photo. Tapping a tag on a razor takes you to that search at the top of the collection, and sharing a razor no longer adds its full description to the message.

    Before
    The earlier narrow mobile profile text and a listing with no related link.
    After
    The improved full-width mobile profile and a related maker website link.
  9. Roomier, easier-to-read menus

    Account and collection menus now give every action more breathing room, with aligned icons and labels that stay on one line.

    See comparison
    Before
    The earlier narrow collection menu with a wrapped label.
    After
    The wider collection menu with evenly spaced actions.
  10. Easier ways to move around

    The account menu now puts “Add a razor” first, and profiles, listing forms, and conversations make the way back easier to understand.

    More about this update

    When you open a collector from a comment, message, or liked razor, the return link remembers that context. Adding and editing a razor keeps a clear return action at the top of the form, while the conversation arrow is labeled “Messages” on larger screens.

    Before
    A listing form without a back link and a conversation with an unlabeled arrow.
    After
    A listing form with a clear return link and a conversation arrow labeled Messages.
  11. Search filters that are easier to see

    Search now stays quietly behind a magnifying glass until you need it. Choosing a tag opens search automatically and keeps the active filter visible with a clear remove button.

    More about this update

    The browsing control now glides smoothly between New, Popular, Following, and For Sale. Closing search clears its text and tag choices, so the full collection is shown again.

    Before
    A selected tag mixed into the row of suggested tags.
    After
    The selected tag shown clearly inside the search box with a remove button.
  12. Clearer controls where you need them

    Photo editing, listing actions, profile tools, and mobile filters now give everyday choices priority while keeping occasional options close by.

    More about this update

    Photo controls no longer overlap each other: each saved photo has one clear toolbar for changing its position or removing it, and newly selected photos include rotation before upload. Listing and profile pages keep common actions visible and place occasional settings in a small more menu. On phones, browsing filters use two balanced rows rather than squeezing every choice onto one line.

    Before
    The earlier overlapping photo controls and crowded action rows.
    After
    The improved photo toolbar and focused primary actions.
  13. A cleaner conversation under each post

    Comments now use a focused, compact layout with clearer replies and a simpler place to write and post without breaking the flow of the discussion.

    More about this update

    The conversation stays comfortably readable instead of stretching across a wide desktop screen. Usernames and comment text are easier to scan together, replies have a quiet visual thread, and the comment box keeps emoji, writing, and posting in one control. The same layout retains generous tap targets on phones.

    Before
    The earlier wide comment form with a separate post button.
    After
    The improved compact discussion and inline comment composer.
  14. A clearer following button

    Profiles you follow now show a green check, and the button changes to “Unfollow” before you select it again on devices with a pointer.

    See comparison
    Before
    The earlier neutral Following button.
    After
    The improved checked state and clear Unfollow action.
  15. Photos prepared before posting

    Listing photos are now checked, correctly oriented, and compressed when helpful, with a warning when a photo looks dark, blurry, or likely to crop awkwardly.

    More about this update

    You can rotate a selected photo without leaving the listing form. Large photos are made easier to upload while the full-size image remains clear. Selected photos are also restored with the rest of an unfinished listing after an accidental refresh.

    Before
    The earlier photo field with no preparation feedback.
    After
    The improved photo field showing preparation, rotation, and draft recovery.
  16. A quieter place for first messages

    Messages from someone you have not spoken with wait in Requests, where you can accept them without crowding your regular inbox.

    More about this update

    Opening a request does not send a read receipt until you accept or reply. Conversation options now include mute, block, and report, tucked into a small menu so they stay available without adding noise. Blocking prevents new messages while leaving the existing conversation visible for reference.

    Before
    Every conversation previously appeared in one inbox.
    After
    The inbox now separates regular conversations and first-time requests.
    Open messages
  17. Update sale status in fewer steps

    Owners can mark a listing not for sale, for sale, pending, or sold directly from its card without opening the full editing form.

  18. Better previews when sharing

    Shared listings and profiles now carry a useful title, description, and collection photo in supported messaging and social apps.

  19. Photos and clearer unread messages

    Send a photo in a conversation with an optional note, spot where unread messages begin, and change a reaction after choosing it.

    More about this update

    Photos stay inside the conversation so you can share a close-up without creating a listing first. A “New messages” line marks the exact point where unread replies begin, even in a longer conversation. Reactions can now be changed simply by choosing a different emoji.

    Before
    The earlier message composer, which accepted text only.
    After
    The improved conversation with a photo, new-message marker, and photo attachment control.
    Open messages
  20. Useful details at a glance

    Listings can now show condition, originality, and availability clearly, with more items from the same collector close by.

    More about this update

    These details are optional, but when provided they are easier to understand than searching through tags or a long description. Availability keeps for-sale browsing accurate while also allowing an item to be marked sold. A separate section shows more from the collector without repeating the related listings already on the page.

    Before
    Listing details previously mixed into the description and tags.
    After
    Condition, originality, and availability shown clearly on the listing.
