    Cool Nice 2 meet u

    Hello dear all!!

    I am quite new to wet shaving and quite addicted to SR collecting. Have been reading some of the forum threads as a guest for some time now..

    Usually I like old sheffield razors (W&B especially), TIs, and Filarmonica's.
    Those are the main brands I am interested in.

    I will post also some photos of the pieces that I have in a couple of days

    What I need to learn now:
    honing.

    Have a great day guys!

    PS: one razor acquisition a day keeps yo money away )
    Push it to the limit/Walk along the razor's edge/But don't look down, just keep your head/And you'll be finished !!!

    @tcrideshd: with a straight and strop - pretty good. Better than with a DE. I am shaving with a SR for about 3 month now. Pretty comfortable shaves, and some very good ones BBS about 50% of the time.

    I also tried to hone a couple of razors myself and got a decent result with it. Not perfect, but decent, so no irritation after using them. Just not that comfortable as the ones that were honed by a friend which a lil more experience.

    I am waiting for my bevel stone now, cause setting bevel on a coticule is hard as hell if you have a small chip in the blade ( Or at least for a noob like me.
