Thread: Hello from France;)

Just saying "Hi", have been lurking a bit here, and a member of another forum where I met some guys that I think are on here too.. (Mikael, Arrowhead, Neil Miller, SiR-ed8.....)

I started DE shaving a few months ago, and looked at a few straights, but never took the plunge.. I had bought some non-shave-ready ones, and just looked at them as a "curiosity".

Just over a week ago, Mikael was so kind as to send me a shave ready Anton Wingen jr - Othello 5/8, and a strop.

I've been playing with it almost everyday since, and only had one DE shave since I got it. I think I can get the hang of this game!
Quite a bit of my DE collection has been sold now (about half), and getting some more straights soon.

Valuable advice from quite a few members on the forum across the pond was given to me, but always looking for more!

My forum name is because I live in France, but I'm really an impostor, since I'm a dutchy

Hope you guys will have me and my silly questions
(but I do know how to use the search feature!)

Cheers,

Max

Welcome to SRP

Nothing wrong with being from original Viking stock, welcome.

Hello Max,

Hope you have been doing well since this post. I am new to the forum and going through the guys that I see living in France. I am in Lyon not actually started shaving but ready to take the plunge as you say. Any chance you are in my area? Hope so!

Let me know,
Thanks,
Ryan
