thx for you guys' replies.


I have now bought a razor. Things are a little complicated for me when it comes to buying stuff, since I live in switzerland.
There are hardly any guys/shops who sell straight razors in my country and importing stuff from the european union is always a hassle due to this country's extreme protectionist economy politics ;-)

There is one shop though in Switzerland, www.nassrasieren.ch - der Weg zur perfekten Rasur! .I got me a straight razor from there,brand dovo, and the guy told me it was already shave ready. I am pleased with so far. As I am with this community.

Thx very much.

/EDIT: @moderator, please move to member introductions, thx.

Dear Shiznix
Sorry I was late to this party and in welcoming you. So, allow me to properly do so:

**WELCOME TO SRP**

Congratulations are also in order for your recent acquisition(s). I wouldn't really worry so much about having a brick & mortar shop to buy your stuff from. Most SRP-ers end up doing so from the classified section here on SRP (highly recommended) or online....most sellers in the classified here also ship things worldwide. You are covered my friend, regardless of geographic constraints and what the policies are regarding trade, imports and exports.

Stay away from eBay for awhile until you feel comfortable knowing what you are looking for and what to look out for.

Do you have a decent brush? if not, you should seriously look into this as your next, important acquisition. There are many choices with a wide range of prices...Look into the review sections for info and ideas about this.

Most importantly; str8 shaving has a bit of a learning curve. Do not be discouraged if things don;t go as smoothly for you at the beginning...keep at it, ask questions and persevere. Trust me, the rewards far outweigh the learning curve and possible small nicks and cuts you may end up acquiring through your journey into str8 shaving .

Just a few thoughts.
