Thread: Introduction / New guy from Germany

Hi Guys,

let me introduce myself at first.
My name is Nicholas, I am 30 years old and was born and live in Gemany.

I am into (seriously) collecting straight razors for about two years now, prefering old carbon-steel models of all sorts of manufacturers.
A little restauration of old blades is also one of my hobbies, which I sadly am not as good in as I would like to be. Still improving, though.

A long time ago I have learned a little english in school and so I would be pleased if you guys could tolerate some of my verbal-accidents for some time until I am in practice again.

Until now I have only visited and read this forum once in a while and have only been posting in the german razor-forum.

Today I have decided to give it a shot here, testing if I could get along.

For hints/reminders on how to improve my english-language-skills I will alwas be pleased.

Best regards to all

Nicholas

Welcome Nicholas!

Welcome Nicholas - your English is very good, I don't think you will have any problem here.

Nicholas,

Welcome, your English is very good. Glad you decided to write.

*Erica*

Thanks a lot for the welcome guys and girls!
My english is definetly not good enough to make any sense out of this WV-shoe-thing, though!?!

Welcome Nick. Sorry if you don't go by that nickname, if you want to be more formal, just say so. I had a good friend I always called 'Nick', and I tend to give almost every male a nickname. Your English is very good. We shall teach you American, and there is no sense to the VT shootings. Just the ragings of a sick mind.
Erica, only the ignorant think the folks in WV don't wear shoes. I do remember, as a child of course, driving through West Virgina and what I saw from the highway. I also was in WV only two years ago and was impressed. Welcome also.

Nicholas,

WV is short for West Virginia. Too the uninformed
( mainly other American's ) the people from this
state are a bunch of ignorant, uneducted hillbillies.

While some West Virginian's are offended by this,
other's such as myself and Erica can laugh it off.

Besides, those who anger us, control us.......


Enjoy your shaves.....
