    Default Greetings from Poland

    Hello,

    my name is Rafal and I am from Warsaw, Poland, Europe
    I've joined SRP in 2018 but was unactive as I focused mainly on polish forum.
    I am wetshaving for 8 years now and this is as well the time I am into wetshaving communities and forums across the world.
    I am mainly using DE razors, sometimes SE. Regarding the straight razors I am at the beginning - just a few tries behind me.
    For the last 5 years I was an administrator of the biggest wetshaving forum in Poland.

    In addition, I am really into collecting wet shaving gear - safety razors, straight razors, shaving brushes, mugs, blade sharpeners, old adverts, old articles, gadgets etc.
    I don't have full classification of my collection but to give you a hint of it:
    - >120 modern safety razors
    - >700 vintage safety razors
    - >70 modern straight razors
    - >150 vintage straight razors
    - >30 vintage Polish straight razors (which is my precioussss, as usually collectors have up to few)
    - >30000 razor blades
    - and much much more of other stuff

    Together with my close friend, also a collector, we have been an integral part of the largest cosmetics fair in Poland for last few years, where we present our exhibition.
    We started in 2019 (only my friend) with 6 square meters of exhibition and just 3 showcases
    In 2022 (after pandemic) it was 80 square meters and 37 showcases
    In 2023 it was 160 square meters, 40 showcases and 6 discussion panels

    Hope to find here a lot of inspiration and good discussions
