"Sie macie ludzie!" from Poland
Hi,
I am 19, and shaving was always something I hate. One day I found out using brush instead of foam very enjoyable, so I bought a badger brush and soap. I realized that I can make shaving something nice so I decided to go further and bought shavette, I saw straight razor very expensive and I didn't know if I could manage it, but i did and it was enjoyable. I decided to give it a shot. Unfortunately I had to start with nothing, no one in my family used straight razor, so not only I had to learn everything by myself (cut my face not once :D), but buy all the stuff. It was quite a problem for me, I didn't want to spend a lot of money for my first razor, so i bought a set from ebay, i wasn't sure if it came shave ready, so when I got it, it was useless. I was a little discouraged, but I decided to go for it, and bought hones, just 4000 and 12000 natural water stones (it was all i could afford) and after some time I made it "shave ready". I don't have strong beard, so for me it's just fine and I can get quite a nice shave (definitely better than with my gillette fusion). Now I am looking forward to buy my first good quality razor.
That's my story :) Hello to everybody again!
