New boy from Kent, the garden of England

Hello good people,a few months ago I started to trim around my moustache and small beard using a shavette. Now i use it for 90% of my shave,still can't reach some tricky bits but working on it. I have now purchased a cheap Solingen which intend to sharpen and put to use directly.I keep looking at razors and other such paraphenalia on the internet.
Is there any cure for me??

Mikael, of course, uses a different razor for ever day of the year, which is his idea of a cure...:p

You're such an enabler! :D

I was thinking of buying a Kamisori the other day, but I also still want a Les Croix and maybe also a larger razor, the widest I have is a 5/8. I'm also thinking of a Fatboy DE. It'll be tax time soon, so maybe I'll splurge a little? BTW, Mikael, the Jernbologet you sent me is pretty much my favourite these days, the edge that it takes is superb, and I really like the shape too... It's still a rather ratty looking razor, esp after the patina I forced with citrus juices, but I do like it.

Always happy to accept a razor, Mikael! I'd be happy to pay for the shipping!

Anyway, sorry to go off topic yet again. rockybalboa, the classifieds section here is a great place to buy razors. I've bought all but one of mine from guys here and have been very happy with all my purchases. Guys here KNOW what shave ready means.

Yeah, I was thinking the Jernbolaget is wider than 5/8... :-)

There is no cure, buying another razor helps ease the pain, but it is temporary.
