Hello!

I'm Tobias, 26yo, fan of Stevie Wonder, Sting, Jamiroquai, the Alps, Breckenridge (Colorado), Italy, whisky, coffee and Dutch cheese, love squash and running.
Besides that I'm completely new into wet SR shaving. In the last couple of weeks I jumped into this forum, youtube and a lot of internet shops and learned a lot about shaving with a SR. Now I finally decided to make the step and start searching for the appropriate equipment. I was never convinced of the benefits of a G*l***** F*s**n/M*ch but haven't had the money to buy a SR. I'm really charmed of the Spanish point, but that's not a right consideration I guess.

I hope some of you can guide me into a straight razor that is a little harder to start with, but is useable as soon as I'm more experienced. I'm light bearded. Will never have a two-day-beard-look.

Brands that are easy to buy in NL are DOVO, Böker, Wacker Sollingen. But if you have some suggestions for me, I would be thankfull.

O, I'm considering to have a short training at a barber nearby, is that useful or is it better to spend the money on a SR and try it myself with help of YouTube?


Thanks for your help already!

Tobias
