Hello again!

Ok so now I have three straight razor shaves behind me, and I have managed to nick my self only three times so that barely any blood has been drawn. I think my stropping has gone...

The problem is the high shipping cost to europe. The modular paddle costs 89.99$, shipping cost to sweden is about 46$.

There's what I've got so far. Next on the list are the Naniwa superstones, and the paddle strop.

Mind the quality of the photo, horrible lightning conditions.

Yeah I am going to buy my self paddlestrop from thesuperiorshave.com for pastes.

Hello again!

All the previously mentioned items arrived today. I ordered the items last friday from The Stats and Ireland, but I forgot two items from the order I made from the shaving.ie so they...

Finally ordered the items shown at my previous message. I did make a little mistake tho; Alum block and styptic pencils were not on that list, so I forgot to order them. I hope I can add them in to...

Just wanted to tell that my first straight razor arrived from thesuperiorshave and the shipment took little less than two weeks. Jarrod was nice bloke to make business with and we had good talks,...

Hi again!

I have now ordered my first razor from thesuperiorshave like I said in the other thread I started. Now I am about to buy me rest of the shaving equipment and a DE, brush and a soap for...

Not 100% sure yet. Been trying to contact the superior shave without results so far.
Going to order the razor first, then all the accessories.

I will most likely buy a 2nd straight razor when I have the chance. I am not too willing to compromise the quality of other products in order to get second one.

Indeed. The stampled text somehow just gives me this feeling of old school blade.

One thing I was wondering; are the brand marks in the new dovos shanks/tangs etched or stamped in?

Edit: Never mind, I found my ansver. "There's a Dovo lasering at the tang's 'show' side and...

The problem with vintage blade is that with a minimal knowledge of the area, it is very hard to judge the conditions, how much would it cost to restore and so on. I think it is good idea to tip my...

Thanks again everyone for the suggestions and information, very much appriciated. :)

@Headcrowny
That is a very beautifull blade right there. The shoulderless design somehow suits that perfect....

Thank you for the link. :)

I found Review: Straight Razor Designs - The full strop line to be rather informative. It gave a nice understanding of the different qualitys of the strops, and like I...

I knew the differences in the material, high carbon vs stainless and from what I have read I prefer the high carbon.

I had not considered the shoulder / shoulderless design as much tho, as I have...

Thank you for the tip. Suggestions for the strops are very much welcome, as I have the least knowledge about them.

I will most likely use basic Ceralan unscented lotion as my "aftershave" as I...

I often tend to make bigger purchases on a better quality products for slightly higher price, as I have been taught by my mother that "Poor person can not afford to buy cheap". She meant that as you...

Thank you for the ansvers. :)

I am mostly unsure of the strop and the brush. I truly have no clue what kind of a strop could be good one for a beginner, I just selected a strop which seemed to...
