    Default Saying hello from the old world

    Hi there
    My name is Onno (Yes dubble n, I know the joke), in my early fifty and living in The Netherlands near Amsterdam.
    I am still within 100 sr shaves after a year safety razor shaving. What a joy after 30 years of cans and multi Blade systems. I shave 5 times a week with sr.

    I gave myself a goal to start with one straight for 100 shaves. I acquires this one from our Dutch shaving forum, Molly 7/8 from Kayser Ellison silversteel.

    I did not succeed in one razor for 100 shaves. I have now 6 sr and 2 to learn honing. Besides Molly there are
    Puma 1938 6/8
    Wacker traditional 6/8 (new)
    Fuji ½ hollow
    Henckels Friodur
    Iwasaki no stamp (.....)
    2x Dovo 5/8 for honing Practise

    Love to read and write on this forum as well.
