Hi Everyone,
Thank you all for contributing to this website. I've learned a great deal reading the information here and I think I'm ready to pick out my first straight razor. The only problem is I'm the kind of person who really likes to feel a product before I purchase it, especially when it is a piece of highly sharpened steel that I'm going to be drawing across my face. 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!

- Ben
