    Hi & welcome to SRP. You will find plenty of information here plus many knowledgable members. I would have left you some information but like wayne394 asked, what is it you are interested in? Here's one piece of information for you but please let us know what you are interested in:

    Wow, this is the most friendly welcome I ever had on any forum. =) Feeling warm inside =)

    I was a electric / wilkonson cartridge shaver. The electrical shavers I found useless. I cannot shave my beard short enough. And the Wilkonson cartridges are soooo expensive. I do like them as they shave so smooth. So after many years, and because of my low income I started thinking what I could do. I am , to be honest, thinking too easy about straight razors, was thinking it was as fast as Wilkonson cartridge shavers. That changed as I was trying my new Dovo RVS straight razor. I was soo slow. =). After that I also bought a much cheaper butterfly classic shaver from parkinson with those double blades. Bought 100 double blades (Derby) for about 13 euro. What a PRIZE.
    Why did I not find these shavers sooner! (not everything old is useless, some old things in live mix very well with the new, creating a good blend)

    Planning to use my straight razor more and more. But I find the most difficult part to shave is above my mouth and under my chin / neck.
    But since my new job starts at 9:00 o clock I have more than enough time to shave (straight razor )myself in the morning. Any part I cannot do yet I will finish with my Parkinson double edge.

    Never going back to those expensive shave cartridges!

    Thanks again. May I become as good as you all. Thumbs up!

    You're fortunate to live pretty close to Solingen. If I was you, I'd be planning a visit to Revisor or Boker to pick up a nice blade. Keep practicing with the straight. It'll get better and you'll soon get the hang of your chin and neck area. Good luck.
