Thread: Greetings from Holland.

A warm Hello! from the Netherlands.

My name is Peter and I live holland more or less 40 kilometers south of Amsterdam. For two months now, I changed from cartridge razor to the DE razor. I am already addicted to the use of the brush and razor and the wonderful scent of the shaving cream,pre-shave oil en aftershave products. I am using TOBS.

In the near future a would like to use the straight razor, and I am now in the phase of taking in as much information as possible. Already I read a lot of stuff about the straight razor through the massive contributions of forum-members. To be honest I get more and more excited everyday, and constrain my self not to inmediately buy a straight razor right away.

Convinced that the forum will tremendously help me in the right direction, I nevertheless hope I can, in the future contribute by all kind of questions and who know, in time maybe, I contribute with some answers.


With Best Regards

Peter

Hi peter,

Hello and welcome.

This is a great place to learn and get advice and help, the members here have been so friendly and helpful to me.

I have just started using a straight razor myself.

Welcome Peter. You have the right attitude. It's best to approach it methodically. I just jumped in blind and suffered painfully for it. It takes time to learn but if you read up and watch some videos that will help a lot. We are always here to help guide you and answer questions. It's a fun journey and one that will last you a lifetime. Take your time and enjoy yourself.

Hi Peter. Welcome to the forum. There are a few members in you region. A good brush and a nice soap will help everyone get a much nicer shave, as you are now aware. We all learn at different speeds, some jump in and others take a more cautious approach. We are happy to help with what we can.

Hello Peter and welcome to SRP.
Enjoy your time here on the forum and have fun.

Hi ,welcome

Welcome! I think you’re taking the perfect approach. A decent lather is key to any decent shave, so you are starting on the right foot. Safety razors will help train you to understand the value of a good lather.

By reading, asking questions and watching some videos, you’ll get a good understanding of using and maintaining a straight razor. By the time you buy your first razor and strop, you’ll be a step ahead!

Again,welcome!

Welkom Peter.

You are most welcome here. Tons of info to peruse. Ask and we shall help.
