Thread: New member from the alps

Hello

First... sorry about my very poor english!

I'm from Switzerland. Since january i live in the very southern part of Switzerland very near to Italy. Im here to learn the italian language. (We speak 4 different languages in Switzerland. Im 24 years old/young. My hobbies are playing bass, guitar and music in general, shooting (90% pistol 10% rifle), Whisky, reading and shaving.
Im into traditional shaving since more or less one year and after 2 month of shaving i started honing.

Razors: I have now about 20 shave ready straight razors (W&B, Filarmonica, Crown&Sword, Wacker to tell some known manufacures) and some others who needs some work. At the moment i prefer vintage razors. I also like to work on them because after ther is an other style of relationship to my daylie razors.

an example:

before



after



Everyday i use this razor there is a smile on my face. And i remember the work, the time and the experiance this razer gave to me.

I talked about honing: i hone with the Naniwa Super Stones Serie: got an 800/5000, 3000/8000 and a 1000 Stone.


Just fixed and honed this razor this week. Couldn't remove the little reds point on the ivory scales and prefere some litte pitting than a mirror like blade. This razor is old and donÄt have to hide. The shave yesterday morning was wonderful.

(i've seen another razor of this manufacture on SRP)






Thats all.

I hope i can learn here that much like in the German forums.

Please ask if you have some questions.

Regards,

Joel

That is a nice-looking Bastet!

What sort of strop are you using after honing on the 8000 naniwa?

welcome to SRP

Thanks!

A leather strop with chromoxyd and after that a normal leather strop.
