Hello everybody and greetings from the Netherlands,

I'm a 24 year old student and been shaving with a straight razor for a couple of months now. As I am the only one I know that does this in my circle of friends and family, I figured it was high time to start looking for some fellow straight razor shavers to talk about these wonderful blades and, perhaps, learn a few new things in the process!

I own a DOVO 'Best Quality' plastic handled straight razor (which, for those fellow lovers of old things, I keep in my Grandfathers old shaving box from the 1930s). I've gotten good enough at the shaving at this point that I don't cut myself any more, though I still have some trouble shaving the jaw and chin (not yet getting that 'baby-smooth' vibe, alas).

So, yeah, looking forward browsing these forums and all that.

Cheerio,

Vin
