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.

It is a great resource!

Good evening och välkommen hit!
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

Hej och välkommen!
Nice to see yet another "convert" from the Nordic countries.

Welcome!
Glad you have joined us.
I love my two Swedish razors:
Heljestrand No. 6 and Heljestrand MK 24
And I have a 1940s Strega -Eskilstuna on the way.
SRP is a great site for learning and friendship.
Happy Shaving!

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.
