Hey, I have been reading here quite a bit as a guest, learned quite a few things here, so time to sign in. I started shaving with a straight razor about half a year ago and i gotaway with it pretty quick. I bougth a coticule with my first razor, and a few excercise knives. A bit later i got me another coticule and some more knives, and some other soaps, and brushes,... And some more stones, and a few old razors that need some polishing and geometry work,... At the moment i have some verry nice natural stones, some verry nice razors, quite a few soaps, but only 6 brushes! I like a soft, comfy edge!
