Hello from Paris
Hello everybody !
I am Jean-Yves, from Paris, France. I have been using straight razors for years. I have a collection of a hundred or so straights razors (mainly french and german). By the way you can see it there on my blog : Sur le fil (aka "On the edge") Sur le fil
It's great for me to meet such passionate people as I am and sharing information (SR identification, repairing, restoration...).
Regards

Welcome to SRP, Paris is one of my favorite cities.
