Good morning to all in the US and elsewhere. I'm happy to have come across this website as I'm sure reading it will provide me with the necessary guidance in practising my new hobby. I am a brand new convert and have sinned thusfar by using regular Gill**** products. I have decided to go the cut throat way and have purchased a Halfmann Solingen 6/8 razor (new, old stock) and a Bing Solingen 7/8 (new, old stock). A Edwin Jagger superbadger brush and Proraso provide lubrication. The cutting edge is attended to by a Dovo strop. I'm looking forward to sharing my experience and wish you all a nice and clean shaven day!
