Hey all,
I've just recently gotten into wet shaving and have been reading this site, Blade and Badger, Sharpiologist and a few others to gather info so I can make informed purchases. I'm currently using the Dovo Shavette for sculpting my beard and am thinking of jumping into using a proper straight if all continues to go well (probably nothing bigger than 3/8" or 4/8" though).
I travel a lot for archaeological work and so I'll probably have quite a few questions relating to transport of straights in luggage, finding good wet-shaving products in other countries (chiefly Italy and Israel) and which wet shaving prep tools (brushes, strops, etc) are best for travel.
Also, I live within 15 minutes walking distance of the UES Pasteur Pharmacy and so if anyone wants me to check if they carry a certain product, I can do so. I can also explore the other various shops around the city as I do love walking.
I hope to learn a lot about this wonderful art during the age of her renaissance. :)
