Hi guys,
Crazy about wet shaving for about 2 years now - I am using a Merkur 34d on a daily basis.
I have 2 straight razors and used them a couple of time but w/o really been successful.
I am eager to learn and all your advices will be welcome.
Cheers / Stilgar

Welcome to the forum. I wonder why there was no success in your first coupe of attempts. Did you get them new or vintage? Were the blades honed and shave ready? Stropping effectively has been an issue for many beginners.
Thank to all of you - well it looks like my straight razor do not cut - could it an problem of angle or stopping - my skin looks a bit red as well :thinking:

If you look in the members services section of the classifieds I believe there is a couple of members from the EU that do honing.

Nice looking razors :bow:
As has been mentioned if they are not Truly Shave Ready then you are wasting your time and that's more than likely the reason for the redness on you face.
While they aren't in the Classifieds I know of a couple of members who may hone for you and they are at least fairly close to you.
Give me a PM and in the meantime I'll see if I can get a hold of them in advance for you.
Don't give up hope! It's a long strange trip but well worth the journey :tu
Welcome to the forum and good luck with your progress.
