I just shaved with the Friodur with the Ozuku edge, and it was great! A lot smoother than the 16K edge, very very nice.
And just as sharp of course. This little €40 stone is off the charts when it...

Hi Marc, best of luck with your straight shaving journey! Were did you buy your straight, is it shave ready? :)

Hi, I haven't done any direct comparisons, but I'm about to. I used my Friodur today, which is finished on the 16k a few shaves back, and I will touch it up on the Ozuku for tomorrows shave. So far...

Had my best straight shave so far today. I received a nice box from France, the Martin De Candre shaving soap and a hand soap I had ordered. In the package there also was a bonus shampoo and a small...

The charger for my camera batteries have gone missing, but as soon as I find it I'll take some photos for you Phil.

So Aredennes Coticule gave me a nice unexpected bonus, the stone was a natural combo with a BBW back, and I paid the standard select price, now that is nice! It's a 150x40mm La Petite Blanche

Package from Ardennes, off to the post office I go! :)

Hi Phil, great to see you here! The website looks superb, bookmarked.(my wallet tried to stop me) :D

Thanks a lot for your help, I don't think I could have chosen a better first razor vendor than...

Thank you, yeah I've spent quite some time on coticule.be and I talked to Bart and he recommend me a LPB among other layers. I have indeed a synthetic back-up plan, I will order a Shapton 16k as well...

I left my upper lip and chin alone today, as they were a little irritated yesterday, so I concentrated on doing my cheeks good....
