New guy from Lyon, France
Hey all !
some of you may know, French for the most of them (but I wouldn't mind meeting someone from the WWS :) I know at least one of 'em may lurk around the corner)
I'm a recent straight shaver, that much is true, I started a mere month ago.
Still, I have actually been shaving for years with a DE before I considered diving into the world of straight razors. It was not an easy choice in any case, what with wanting but not being sure it was a good idea when your hands can suddenly clasp or your legs can collapse. Anyway, in the end I found a solution using both my DE and my straight razors.
Yes, razors with an S.
An avid flea market raider (I prefer the term "treasure hunter") for years now, regarding another hobby of mine, I could not resist the urge to grab some blades while having my eyes peeled for other things. I particularly love old razors, and as a matter of fact own mostly near wedges or wedges. I do confess though that currently one of my favorite is a singing hollow blade.
Yes, they are shave ready thank you very much good sir :) Even if it means one of them has a tendency to kiss me wildly on the cheekbone every time it meets it. Can't help it, sailors are very sweet under their rude appearance.
Well, I hope I'll find many a good tip here and that I'll enjoy your company.
