I am 32 years old, a beautiful wife and daughter.

I do not speak English. It helps me to google translator.

In addition to traditional shaving I'm a fan of star wars, but the only episode 4, 5, 6
Episode 1, 2 and 3 is ok, but ... http://straightrazorpalace.com/images/smilies/jedi.gif

Now I shave a merkur futur matt chrome + hand made ​​brush with badger + razor blades Derby, Feather.

Welcome from Colorado! Love the daughter and father picture! It is very cute. It is nice to se that some things are the same every where in rhe world My daughter also thinks that I have no neck when she draws me.....but, she does give me an erormous nose...

I get the 'Spikley' hair and the mo & goatee beard bit from my daughters. Anyone with a crew-cut and a goatee is said to look like me according to them.

Razor is sharp in a white box, a razor blade in a new black box is not sharp.

I fell in love, I have never shaved so closely. Course was blood, but I loved it.

Znajdziesz tu wiele dobrych produktów do golenia tutaj na SRP i wiele dobrych informacji, jak również. Trzymaj się i dobrej golenia i dobrej nocy. Znowu .. Zapraszamy! :) You will find many good shaving products here on SRP and much good information as well. Hang in there and good shaving and good night. Again..Welcome !

Waldek, dzięki na spacer swojego świata do golenia! Istnieje kilka członków SRP w części świata, wielu, którzy chętnie pomoże podłączyć do najlepszych produktów do golenia można uzyskać, w najlepszych cenach. Jesteśmy o dzielenie się miłością do golenia.

Ja też byłem zaskoczony, ze mój pierwszy DE golenie. Kiedyś Wilkinson ostrzy miecz w czarnej skrzynce (w Niemczech). Widocznie są inne miejsca ostrza są wykonane (w czarnych skrzynek), które nie są uważane za tak dobrze. Nie wiem, gdzie twój były produkowane. Ale choć było trochę krwi, nie było sposobu, bym kiedykolwiek wydawać pieniądze na wkład ponownie. Mogę używać prostych maszynek do golenia bardziej niż cokolwiek, ale kiedy nie można używać prostych odebrać DE ... nigdy Mach 3 raz!

pokoju,
Jim

Waldek, Thanks for a walk through your shaving world! There are several SRP members in your part of the world, many who will gladly help connect you to the best shaving products you can get, at the best prices. We're all about sharing the shaving love.

I too was amazed with my first DE shave. I used Wilkinson Sword blades in a black box (made in Germany). Apparently there are other places the blades are made (in the black boxes) that are not considered so good. I don't know where yours were manufactured. But, while there was some blood, there was no way I would ever spend money on a cartridge again. I use my straight razors more than anything, but when I can't use a straight I pick up the DE...never a Mach 3 again!

Peace,
Jim


***We'll see how well that works out. For giggles I took Google's Polish translation of what I wrote, and fed it back through the translator from Polish back to English. It didn't quite make sense.***

Google translator is chosen each time the best translation of the word, is not always logical.
I read in English and understand it, but I can not write correctly.
In my country have no dubbing movies, I'm 30 years of practice in listening to English speech. Most computer programs are in English.
So feel free to write in English ;)

Greetings to all, I'm going to work.

I'm glad you're confident in understanding English. I think Google Translator does a good job...best I've found anyway (though I haven't spent any money looking for one). I speak some Spanish and do some multi-lingual ministry. I've used Google Translate to make sure I'm parsing verbs correctly, or using proper grammar and it does a good job. Feeding something through the translator multiple times will always get less than desired results though...it's like the little kid's game "telephone" where one kid whispers a word into another kid's ear and it goes around a circle of 20 or so kids, and by the time it gets back to the first kid it's entirely different.

Best of luck in your shaving adventures!


Peace,
Jim

Hello Waldek,

Welcome to SRP. You have great photographs. I love your daughter's idea of mailing you to Santa's elves.

Best wishes to you.

I know what kind of game. It's an old game in Poland called "dumb phone". Dumb - no voice

I think we'd say "mute" over here...dumb is no longer considered politically correct or socially acceptable, but I take your meaning.

Blessings,
Jim

I prefer the word 'Dumb' myself. It has a correct meaning (same as Mute), and it has it's bastardised usage that isn't very PC. I am not very PC myself though, and don't give much of a hoot for it. Just making comment though BigJim, and not being critical of your own preference mate. :)

Gotta have thicker skin than that to live in this world! And it's less my preference, and more simple commentary on the differences in dialect from English in one part of the world to the next.

On a side note: As a Pastor/Public Speaker/Community Leader being aware of what's PC and what isn't is pretty important...that way when I break from what's PC I'm doing it on purpose and not just sticking my foot in my mouth! Believe it or not, I'm more often than not, INTENTIONALLY not PC. But, even then I try to do so tactfully!

Peace, Mate!
Jim

Hi Waldek, thanks for sharing a photo of you and your daughter with us. It was so beautiful her idea of mailing you to Santa for a close shave.
Hmmm ... I suppose she may be a dangerous woman when she grows up :D

Oh I forgot to mention a very good friend of mine is currently getting married in Poland. His family originally is from Poland but he grew up in Melbourne Australia, which is where I met him.
I am sad that I couldn´t be there with him, but I will see him soon I hope when he returns to London.

Are disposable razors better than straights? Niet Pravda!!
Dzień dobry ;)

Dzień dobry :D:D:D

I try to shave with a razor, with hair (shave from top to bottom) the result satisfactory, but the hair (shave from the bottom up) face looked like a slaughterhouse. Bad angle hold. For now, I have a little egg to try again.

That's what we call WTG (With The Grain)

That's what we call ATG (Against The Grain)

Instead of going from WTG to ATG, go from WTG to XTG (across the grain, ie. right to left, or perpendicular to the direction the hair grows). You'll get a great shave, and less likely to look like a pig that just went through processing!

BTW, I've been straight shaving for roughly 7mos and I don't do ATG except for a couple places where it's the only way I can shave other than WTG. :hmmm: feels good!

Peace,
Jim

Thanks Jim, I do not know the English terminology.
In my country it is said
of the hair - WTG - very popular method, preferred by young people and people with a soft beard
under the hair - ATG - old school shaving combined with WTG
across - XTG - Unknown method in my culture, but accidentally used when the hair changes direction

My skin is thin, black hair on the chin and hard. WTG all, then ATG on the cheeks, then on the neck XTG.

Razor at this time I am afraid, I prefer to use a Merkur Futur adjustable blade.
