    Question Any members from Switzerland ?

    I was wondering... relying on the Google map, I'm the only one living in Switzerland...

    That seems a little awkward... So if there is any other CH people here, please report here !

    It could be nice if we were able to exchange intel on shaving goods and stores in our country, maybe even a group for group orders... meetings... etc.


    Maybe someone ?

    Unhappy

    Oh boy... I am really the only one.

    I'll drown my sadness in a good glass of beer (full, I'm sad, not stupid)

    Thank you guys... very nice to have drop by, I was feeling quite alone in this thread...

    @ Tony: I know the site and the city, but not the man (Andreas Elmer, if I'm not mistaken) and I don't know if he is a member here... btw, according to his site, his prices are quite high (for instance 185 $ for a dovo imitation mother of pearl you can buy for 114 $ at ClassicShaving)

    @ Syslight: you are right, according to his profile, vegard_dino is from Norway and living in Switzerland (but he didn't say where)... maybe he will drop by...

    Can I be an honorary Swiss? It's neato that you guys get to keep assault rifles in your closets . I recently picked up a pair of K-31's and now just need to get my hands on some ammo for them.

    My great, great grandfather (it may have been just one great, I'm not sure) came from Switzerland. He probably shaved with a straight razor! And...enjoyed chocolate. My wearing a fine Swiss watch is a tribute to my heritage. Thanks to this heritage of mine, I was born with the natural ability to be able to take apart the movements of complex watches like it and put them back together, all with my eyes closed.

    Not sure of how his pricing works but I know many dealers in the UK / Europe seem a bit high. Might be in his case that he is maninly a brick and mortar store and depends on walk in business more than mail order. Sort of like Art Of Shaving here in the USA. Anyone who compares online pricing will find them sky high but if strolling through New York on a business trip with no idea of online pricing, let alone that straight razor shaving still exists they look like a gold mine discovery!

    Out of full disclosure I do sell products to Andreas for his store but have no control over final pricing there.
