Hello People, I am new to The Shave Den, just signed up within the last week. I am not new to traditional wet shaving. I have been passionate about the hobby since early 2016, but have been wet shaving with a brush and soap for much longer. I have the same 'bug' as many others on this kind of forum. I think of traditional wet shaving as something in between yoga and a hobby, a little window of dedication an tranquility, and a niche to cultivate to perfection. Like many others, I have collected a bunch of wet shaving gear and have my favourites, they have changed over time, and it will likely remain that way. I decided to sign up for an account at The Shave Den in order to broaden my participation in online shaving discussions. I have been participating in another major American based online forum for some years, and decided it was time to not rely exclusively on one place. I am based in Denmark, but have spent many years in Canada, and feel quite at home on both sides of the pond. Presently I have better access to European shaving products, being based in the EU, though I recently treated myself to some excellent Canadian made drivers: RR Lupo (Alu and SS.72) and a couple of Hensons (* and ***). I am presently taking a break from straight razors. I have a bunch of them and it was all I used for a couple of years, but I have a hard time getting the results I want honing them, so for the time being I am loving DE shaving. Looking forward to many good exchanges with you Gentlemen! /Jens
