    Default Greetings from Buenos Aires

    Hi, I'm Lis!

    Big fan of traditional things, including shaving and calligraphy (if you're wondering, I do spencerian and ornamental penmanship as a hobby). I bought a straight razor around 8 years ago and loved it, but had to quit using it because I moved and couldn't find a guy to sharpen my razor properly. I've been using DE razors since then.

    I also enjoy cooking and keeping my knives as sharp as possible, but I couldn't find any razor-appropiate whetstones and hones locally.

    Happy hunting to all!

    Welcome. Glad to have you with us. You can look on the home page and see a link to a post on how to find members in your area that can help you. I'm not aware of any in Argentina but there are members here from all over the world so maybe.

    Welcome.

    There are alternatives to relatively expensive stones that beginners can try out before investing in more traditional razor hones. Check out the beginner section on the SRP home page.

    Enjoy your time here. Ask questions. Our members will be very pleased to help you out.
