My name is Bas, I'm 28 y/o and Live in The Hague, the Netherlands.
I'm married and have 2 sons (11 months and 3.5 y/o)
I started shaving with a Wahl straight with disposable blades and a Gilette safety razor about a month or 2 ago.
I still cut myself regularly but it's getting better.
I bought a good straight razor yesterday and a strop and paste so I should really get it on now.
Onely problem with the razor was that, upon comming home, it was not shave ready. I contacted the store (barbershop suplly) and they told me to send it back and they will replace it with a sharp one or sharpen it. He thought it was already sharp. Ah well, people make mistakes.
So I'm now waiting for the new one to arrive. (it's a Gong btw)
I, for now, have a boarhair brush and use "vergulde hand" shaving soap.
I hope to learn a lot more here esp about the maintainance of the straigh on the strop and maby honing in the future
