Good day Gents
A warm-lathery greeting from Iceland, and before you start it is NOT only a frozen peace of rock which acts as a the occasional double for Satan’s ***hole ;
My name is Johann ( you English speaking guys please substitute the “J” for “Y” ) It is not pronounced DJOhann.
Pardon my temper, at the time of writing I’m on my 4th coffee cup of the day, and waiting to pick up my first (I hope) really “shave ready” straight. :D I bought some Chinese or Pakistani crap from a local barber, can’t figure out why he doesn’t sell dovos?
Of course I didn’t just buy one, needed a strop as well and one shave ready as well, plus the seller gave me one of his barber hones J (The user here, and on B&B are more than helpful/nice)
But still I’m not honest, I’ve bought 8 razors, yes I have the RAD. But most of these are cheap (for restoration and later honing practice) And a populist I got að 7/8 W&B chopper from the bay. I blame that on Lynn’s examples from the DVD. There is just something about that curve.
I’ve been DE shaving for about six months now and am loving it, not so much the nicks and cuts, but the whole “hot-towel” wet-shaving experience.
But DE don’t look so good, or as manly as straights, plus the restoration possibilities are quite appealing.
Thanks to all the users, admins and creators of this great forum. It’s a constant source of information and fun stories.
!!! Other beginners, don’t follow my example, go to “straight razor designs” and get your first gear there (as was my original plan )
Have as nice day
Yohann :)
