    Default Hi From Amman, Jordan

    Hello fellow members,

    I was watching James Bond Movie Skyfall the other day and the scene where the woman starts shaving for James Bond using a straight razor got me curious about wet shaving. after much research on shaving101.com, youtube.com, badgerandblade.com and the straightrazorplace.com i ended buying all the following items:

    Dovo Ebony Silver Steel 5/8" Carbon Steel Straight Razor as my main razor from VintageBladesllc.com
    Dovo "Best Quality", 5/8" Carbon Steel Straight Razor - "Black" as my back up razor also from VintageBladesllc.com
    Dovo Leather Sheath for two razors to protect my beloved two razors also from VintageBladesllc.com
    Vintage Blades Hanging Razor Strop in Chestnut English Bridle Leather and White Linen from vintagebaldesllc.com
    Simpson Commodore X2 Best Badger Shaving Brush X2B from westcoastshaving.com
    Edwin Jagger Clear Drip Stand, Small
    Merkur 34C Heavy Duty Safety Razor as a back up razor to my straight razors from westcoastshaving.com
    DE Blade Sampler Pack, Standard from westcoastshaving.com
    Taylor of Old Bond Street Pre-shave Oil from westcoastshaving.com
    Taylor of Old Bond Street Shaving Cream Bowl, Lemon & Lime from westcoastshaving.com
    D.R. Harris Arlington Shaving Cream Tube from westcoastshaving.com
    Geo F Trumper Spanish Leather Shaving Cream Tub from westcoastshaving.com
    RazoRock Alum in Case from westcoastshaving.com
    Crabtree and Evelyn Sandalwood Aromatic After Shave Balm 100ml (from Crabtree and Evelyn at a local mall in amman)


    Once i receive the above items i will keep you updated of my first experience as a wet shaver using a straight user.

    until next time

    Hello and welcome to the forum. With all that gear coming you have got some pretty good incentive to stay the course. If you have any questions just ask. Hope you enjoy the experience.
