Thread: Hello from France.

Hello everyone,

I started straight razor shaving a few weeks ago, and already love it and I thought it could be a good idea to discuss and exchange with people from all over the world, so here I am !

I bought my first straight razor online, and the seller was offering a «shave ready option», so just a few stroke on the leather strop and here I go : My first shave. And I've been quite proud of the result actually, since I (almost) didn't cut myself, and the shaving was very soft.

I still have problems with the chin, since my jaw bones are pretty prominent and angular, but I'm working on it !

And for now, I can show you my "beginner kit" !

So far, I have :
- A «Dovo Prima Steel», made in Solingen, Germany.
- A «Herolds Prima Rindleder» leather strop, made in Germany too.
- A cheap, yet good for a beginner, french-made brush.

Some pictures for those who are interested :



I hope my english isn't too bad (it's actually a good exercise to be here !).
