I almost forget to tell you how I found this site. I watched a cool tutorial video on youtube by the X man and he told me about this place :)

welcome aboard
they're good razors for sure, and getting it from srp it'll come well honed.
a bit roundabout way to make it from germany to spain but that's modern day marketplace :)
since you're in spain you should look out for some of your country's razors too - they're pretty good :), yes pretty pretty good....
You're right! It's really weird to buy a German razor from USA being Spanish, but it's much easier and cheaper to buy in the States, because the dollar/euro conversion.
I know Spanish razors! Filarmonicas are well known here and worlwide, but can you believe they're hard to find in Spanish shops! And really expensive too, they are cheaper in USA. We are living strange days, indeed....
Hola Anibal, bienvenido paisano!
There are good people around here, I am a newbie too myself, but with some practice and the good advice you'll get here, you'll be fine.
Un saludo
Welcome to SRP. This is an excellent resource both for someone new to straight razor use as well as to those who are the "masters." Keep in mind that the skill takes time to develop. Go slow and enjoy the process. If you need help, ask. There are wonderful people who are a part of this community who have lots of experience and enjoy helping others.

Welcome to SRP. Good on X-MAN for guiding you here.
As to the Dovo not being good, I don't think that is accurate. I have a Dovo and it's a great razor. In fact, we have quite a following in the Dovo line. I know what the anticipation is like awaiting your first razor. May I suggest you read this prior to doing anything?

It will help put things into perspective. Lynn has forgotten more about straight razor shaving than most of us have learned as a group.. :gl:
Welcome, Anibal!
Don't neglect purchasing a decent brush, soap, or cream too. Luckily, we have some of the best brushes, soaps and creams right here in Europe, so you'll be spoiled for choice.
+1 - check out Leon's shop (thevintagescent.com) for some good brushes etc from a Spanish site ( or is it Portugese?). Either way, it's local, and it's good.Quote:

Good luck shaving!
I'm hoping to start soon too.
¡Bienvenido! otro español por aqui, de Asturias concretamente.
I think it's time that we start a "Spaniards" group :)
¡Hola a todos los españoles del foro! I live in León, really close to Asturias :) If you want to make a Spaniards group you can count me in.
About the soap/brush, I was already using them with the Shavette, so I hope this will not be a problem. A decent shaving soap is easy to find in almost every supermarket in my town at a reasonable price. There are a few spanish brands like La Toja that make good soaps to use with brush and they are not too expensive. I even have my styptic pencil ready!
You've made a good purchase. Dovo makes an excellent razor. Coming from SRD you'll be relieved that it's really shave ready. Dovo's are easy to hone and maintain.
There's a bit of a learning curve, so be patient, check back here often for information, and don't be afraid to ask questions....

Welcome to the community. That same razor also happens to be the same one that I started with. It's still in my rotationand serves me well. Just be careful to go slow when you start, and respect that point...it's not to be taken lightly:chop:
Make as much use out of this site as you can. There are a ton of resources and people to help with absolutely whatever shaving concern you have.
Hola Anibal y bienvenido al foro!
Saludos! Seems there's quite the following of the classic wet shave in Spain too, I live in Gran Canaria and I'm also new to this. Coincidentally my choice for first razor was also the Dovo spike point with ebony handle.
Hola JRAI, I live in Gran Canaria too! THAT is a coincidence....Quote:
