A glance from Paris area
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.

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.
