Thread: Greetings from Norway

Hello straight shavers!

I am 36 and I hated shaving for the most of my life.

In 2013 I was traveling in India and had my first ever wet shave done for a mere 100 rupees or so. My fear was very real when the barber put his cutthroat knife on my neck... I survived and enjoyed the smoothest result ever. The seed had been planted and finally last October I bought my first set including Muhle R89 with few blades, cream, brush and aftershave.

Some time later I bought the Bluebeards revenge shavette on impulse and liked it so much that I wanted to learn to handle a real straight razor. It was all good and nice until somewhere around shave #10 I lost the edge. Members on the b&b forum suggested that my razor needs a hone. I am thinking I need to learn to shave and strop before learning the art of honing.

All information about a honemeister in Norway will be gratefully accepted. I've located a few in other countries but it's very cumbersome to mail because of customs border.

Welcome aboard,,,,,,,,,,,,

It's nice to have members from so many different countries, glad you joined.

Hi and welcome. Check out the classifieds for someone to help with honing or the local help and mentors may be able to help also. Good luck

Velkommen. Jeg er også ny i gamet, men fant raskt ut at dette flere fra Norge her på forumet. Har bare opplevd velvillighet på mine spørsmål. Jeg er sikker på at for eksempel str8fencer kan hjelpe deg med forslag til personer som kan hjelpe deg med å sette opp kniven.

Tusen takk! Thanks everyone
