Hi all,

I'm Luca from Genoa (Italy).
I'm in love with razors since I was a child and I saw my grandfather shaving.
I recently made the big step from the DE to the Straigth Razor.
I have a Friodur 72 1/2, a Wade & Butcher Special and a Unknown Solingen on which I am training in sharpening by the help of a Belgian Coticule, and soon with a Japanese synthetic stone that I will purchase from JNS.
My preferred SR is the Friodur: I love it.

Ciao

Luca

Hi again Luca, welcome to SRP

I also have a Friodur 721/2, it's a verybnice shaver indeed.

Feel free to ask whatever question you might have.

Good luck and have fun!

Welcome Luca,

What japanese stone are you planning on buying? I've been using a Naniwa 12k superstone to maintain my razors for almost a year now and it was money very well spent IMHO.

Have fun, good luck and good night, I'm off to bed.

Many thanks Zephyr.

I already started with questions ... as you already know

Ciao.

Hi and many thanks Baxxer,

I'll buy the JNS Aoto Matsuyama from JNS
it is the stone that I will use before the Coticule. That's, for now, my only finishing stone.
It has a 3-5k grit

Ciao

Luca
