    That goes for me too.
    A warm welcome to the right place for all things related to straight razor shaving.

    +1--here's some great help for you right there in Norway, and ditto whoever said to check out the Straight Razor Place classified ads--there are some great razors there for not a lot of money and I don't think you'll go wrong. spend some time searching the WIKI on this site also--that will help you out alot.

    Hello and welcome, belatedly...

    There are some fine steel makers in Norway and the rest of Scandinavia. You can buy much better steel from someone you can meet and get to know who is closer to where you live. That way if you have any problems, there is a much closer fix.

    Stick to names with good reputations...

    I ended up with a Bølack Diamond prodused in Germany and a Cactus of the Krusius Broters, also Germany. Both wedge. Bought them from Str8fencer All good, no severe cuts yet. Was easier than i thought. Did a three pass first time. High learning curve? Who said that?
    My first straight razor shave was as easy as stealing candy from a kid. Used both hands.
    On the other hand, after my first shave with the DE Merkur progress, I looked like I just had killed a polarbear, in a barfight!

    Hei og vellkommen.
    Jeg kommer sent men jeg kommer godt.
    Nydelig by Harstad: Jeg var der en tur i Juli 2001.

    Hi and welcome.
    I'm a little late, I know.
    Harstad is a nice town.
