Greetings from a swede in norway

I've been looking for a new hoby as I work in norway and has gotten separeted from the things i usually do when I'm bored. So I wished for a razor when my birthday came up.

Got a quite cheep one but as the sharp edge geek that I am (working as a chef I keep my knives almost sharp enough to shave) I think I'll buy a more expensive one when I feel this is something I'll stick to.

Has done a couple of shaves with it now and feel that it works. I'm not yet totally fluent with it yet but slowly getting there. Found this forum when googling and thought it would be a nice place to hang out.
So now I'm putting my focus into the preparation part to get that really good as a way to eas up the rest of the shave.

So what am I? A 32 year old cook that changed sweden for norway as the pay up in this cold country is a lot better, I'm into computers, knives and soon I'll be a straightrazor fan aswell ;)
As I'm quite used to cutting myself when working I've alredy got a head start at the painstaiking learningcurve.
See you guys around the forum as I'll lurk for a while before starting asking beginners questions annoying all the senior members :)

Welcome to SRP, and to Norway;)

We are quite a few straight razor shavers around these parts of Norway.
Every now and then we have get-togethers, you'd be most welcome even without that lovely red Passport:)
Should you feel the need for any assistance, don't hesitate to ask.

Welcome to SRP Loggert :)

As Birnando said we're a small, but active group of straight shavers in this area getting together evey now and then. (And now we know who's cooking at the next meetup :rofl2:)

Feel free to ask any question you might have, you will always get an answer (and sometimes 20 different ones :))

Right now I'm in Jessheim so I might look into those get togheters. As long as you don't want me to go down and buy alcohol and tobaco for you in sweden ;)
