Greetings from Malmö, Sweden!
Hello everyone! :beer1:
I still can't believe how much time has passed since I created this account on SRP, please forgive me for not introducing myself earlier.
My name is Rolle and like the title of this thread states, I live in the third largest city of Sweden...called Malmö.
Needless to say I have been browsing this great forum ever since I bought my first copy of Mr. Lynn Abrams DVD.
The same DVD that inspired me to purchase a J.A. Henckels 5/8 carbon steel razor in pretty much new condition, though not shave-ready.
Instead of just buying a simple strop and sending away the razor for a honing service I decided to wait and save some money for a quality strop and some hones of my own.
In the meantime I have been enjoying great shaves with a Merkur HD safety razor and NOT so great shaves from a Dovo "Shavette".
That was 2 years ago...
Last month I finally made the decision to purchase some hardware and just last week it arrived.
One package from SRD with some leather goods and another package from the UK with a couple of hones.
My goal now will be to put the finest edge on this Henckels and hopefully pick up some good information and advice from the more experienced users of this forum.
Thank you for reading and I hope to meet many fellow enthusiasts of straight razor shaving.
Best regards,
/Rolle
