Good evening from Sweden

Good evening Gentlemen

Please allow me to introduce myself ...

I have been into wet shaving for while now (~25 years) but unfortunately I took a wrong turn in my youth and started down the path of multi-blade equipment 2-5 blades !. I have tried a few electrical shavers in the past but my personal impression is that even though i love gadgets this is a invention that I can live without.

Last week during the morning shave ... New set of blades and the eyes still wells up when the blades tries to chop off the stubble ... There got to be a better way !!

After some searches on the web I found this forum and the wast amount of information that you guys share. A few hours later a cut-throat razor was ordered and it is now being shipped to me.

Thank you all for sharing knowledge and beautiful pictures !!

A warm welcome to you, from your "little brother" in the west!
You have indeed found the number one forum for all things related to wet shaving.
While you wait for your new gear, do check out the wiki.
It is a great resource!

Velkommen hit.

Good evening och välkommen hit! :D You´ll get tons of good knowledge here! But don´t belive Birnandos talk about little brothers, his razors are big brothers to all of ours :rofl2:

Welcome and enjoy!

Thanks

I will check the wiki ...

Full throttle into the learning curve

Razor - check
Soap - check
Cellphone with pre-dialed emergency number - check ....

Velkommen til SRP ønskes deg fra Norge. This is the best place to be when it comes to Straight razor shaving. A lot to learn, but don`t give up. Before you know it you will get perfect shaves the "good old" way, not to forget all the pleasure, beauty of the equipment and pride of shaving like your grandfather did.

Velkommen from another fellow scandinavian. Altho we have many already, it's good to see more nordic members. We're glad to have you with us!

Welcome to SRP!

This is a great place to be! So what did you get, and where from? Keep us up to date on your progress!

Peace,

The first part of the kit arrived yesterday a Dovo Ebenholtz but the strop did not ...

Looking on the bright side this means that I will have all weekend to mentally prepare myself for the first straight razor shave

I will keep you in the loop updating when possible

Have a nice weekend

Trevligt att se att det finns så många aktiva nordbor
