Thread: Grüezi from Switzerland

Hello from Switzerland. Been a hobby knife sharpener for a few years, so have an interest in blades. Been fascinated by the sharpness of straight razors, and have been talking about them for a while. My wife listened and finally gave me a Böker for Christmas. Was a bit anxious about bringing that edge near my face, but eventually gave it a try. Now I'm hooked. Use nothing else any more and am constantly on the lookout for antiques to restore. I'm up to two razors now and hoping to add a third soon. Learnt a lot from videos online, some by members here. Thanks for sharing.

Welcome to SRP. As you know by now, sharpening a straight is much different from that of a knife. It's great to have you here & if you have any questions just ask. We would love to see your straight razors & even some of your knives as well.
Good luck my friend!

Welcome to the SRP, there's a great knife maker and retailer in Bern Klotzli I've purchased knives from them they are custom quality fantastic knives, they also sell shaving gear including razors.

Smooth Shaving My Brother In Blades

Welcome aboard. I am a new SR user of about three months and have found this place to be absolutely invaluable. Enjoy your journey!

Welcome to SRP.
You'll find a wealth of knowledge and great people here.
As you found out, once bitten, there's no turning back!
I had the opportunity 40+ years ago to visit Davos. I was a young buck then and could ski!
Congratulations on being from one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Good luck on your shaving journey!
