Greetings from Norway!
Recently discovered this forum while doing a search on Google. I've been shaving with a DE for the last 5 year, and started shaving with a straight razor on Wednesday this week. :shave First shave was a bit shaky, but things have improved rapidly.
I currently have an old razor that's been sharpened by an enthusiast in the states. I'm also waiting for an order from Straight Razor Designs, containing a strop, Lynn's DVD and a Dovo Tortoise. I'll be using the vintage razor in the start, in case I ding it on the sink or strop it the wrong way. :lol:
When it comes to DE's, I have a Merkur Progress and a vintage Gillette Fatboy. I prefer the Progress, because I like the weight and it just feels smoother.
