Thread: New user, looking for some advice in finding a local store

I'm currently living in Bonn, Germany, only about an hour away from Solingen so I was hoping to find a shop where I can go and speak with someone who knows what they're doing and feel various razors. Could anyone offer some advice for finding a store that I can visit in the Bonn area? It would also be relatively easy for me to take a train up to Cologne or Solingen.

Thanks!

Puma razors are good razors...
