Hello to all DE and straight razor fans out there.
I am Frans from the Netherlands. (Holland) I live in a small
community near Gouda. About three months ago I (re) discovered the DE shaving method. Twelve years ago, I bought a nice Silvertip brush in Germany and two weeks later I put it away and started using the Gilette cassette systems. At that time it seemed a lot easier and not so time consuming. If you have to get up at 04.30 every minute counts when you have to be at work at 06.00 hours. Three months ago, a friend told me, he used the DE method for months and was very happy with it. As I got home, I started researching everything I could find about Double edge. The result was spectacular I think. I first bought a Pearl (Cadet) razor and now I am the Lucky owner of a Weber Stainless, which I load with Personna and Feather blades. The shaving has never been so good and smooth. OK, it will cost a bit more time, but for me, it is a sort of Zen moment in my day! I use my old Silvertip everyday, it still works flawless!! And Eric and Lysbet from Barbiere di Figaro have been very helpful! They sell some really awesome Italian products! Their own soap (made by TFS in Italy) is wonderful. I use the Raffinato version almost everyday, it is incredible.Such a soft rich cream. I find it way better than the Tabac soap I still had!
Anyway, there is a lot to discover in the shaving world. I want to buy a synthetic brush. I read a nice article about the Mühle. At this moment there are also Omega Boar brushes for sale at "Trekpleister" drugstores.
Well, that's about it for this moment.
Kind regards,
Frans
