Good day gents,

I ordered my first razor yesterday from Mijbil, this one



and I can't wait to put it to a good use.

I discovered straight razors when I got myself a nice and sharp carving knife made from an old straight razor. And I felt in love with this type of blades.

I have a strong bearb and a soft skin that tolerate only 3-4 blades cartridge razors and electric razors give me a harsh. I already use a round soap in a cup with a shaving brush since I discovered the pleasure of that kind of lathe.

I only got a shave from this type of razor in a barber shop when I married too many years ago and the result was not good. There ended my interest in straight razors...

I began searching the forum for info on how to shave and didn't find any about shaving the head too. Would it be too dangerous? I'll see.

Because I started carving last year, I don't think I will have problems with using a leather strop, unless maybe when will come the time to buy a real barber strop when I can buy one because of $$$. I retired last year and have to pay back quite a lot to the fed and prov govs this month . So I will get used with the razor technique first, the rest will come in time.

Ok, now that you know a bit more about me, don't hesitate to send me in the right direction for what I need to know.

Thanks,

Gilles
