Yet another Dutchie...

Hi there,

I'm Ramon, a 39 year old bloke from the Netherlands. Last year I started traditional wet shaving with a DE razor after finding and signing into the Dutch shaving forum and reading about others having the same problems with multi blade mowers as I did. From that point on a whole new world opened up for me, and I can say "never ever back to the cartridge". I'd rather scrape my beard off with a brick (which isn't all that different).

But I have always had an eye on straights because of the vintage and somewhat mysterious feel off it, and had always wanted to explore and try them out. So recently I finally had the balls and bought a vintage straight off eBay. It probably won't be a fantastic razor, but I'll just have to start somewhere and learn from my mistakes. I found a member of the Dutch forum, who is an experienced honer, willing to make the razor shaveready. In the meantime I also ordered a poor man's strop kit.

Now I'll just have to wait impatiently for my razor to be sent back, and it's off we go! Can't wait :D

Welcome to SRP, Dutch. I hope things work out with the new razor.
