Thread: The Dane(s) are coming!!!

Hi

All new noob from denmark, 42 years old and havent tried straight razor shaving yet. still waiting for the razor to get back from honing.

Trying a straight razor is something I´ve thought about for some time now, because 1. the prices for the gilette stuff is through the roof and 2. from what i hear you get a much better shave from the straights.

last week I found a deal for a dovo solingen "best quality" and took the leap. (although '"deals" in denmark is considerably higher in price than in the states)

I also bought some different shaving soaps, to try out for difference (blue wilkinson sword, Mitchells wool fat, Crabtree and Evelyn sandalwood and lastly men-Ü shaving creme).

For brush i bought a Prorasso boar brush. as a free gift there was also a brush with synthetic hairs with the Men-Ü shave creme.

While I wait for the razor to return i use the time reading., so thanks for all the great advise and discussions in here... I´m REALLY looking forward to try my hand at this.
