Hello!

Allow me to introduce myself: I'm Johan from a small town near Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Almost a year ago I bought my first straight razor, trying to get rid of the rash on my face I got from shaving with the modern razors. It worked, I get a lot less bumps, but the whole thing grew out into a hobby. Now I have 10 razors, even a set for every single day in the week, and a lot of soaps (Tabac, De Vergulde Hand, Mama Bears), Creams (Also Tabac, De Vergulde Hand, Bartex and a German brand with herbs and minerals), different shavingbrushes and a whole collection of After Shaves (Again Tabac, Old Spice (Not in stores in Holland for years)). Due to a nasty scar on my chin, I have to admit that I use a double-edged safety razor for that spot.
I hope to find good tips for using and repairing my collection.
