Hello,
Just wanted to say hi. I am brand new to SR shaving and it is incredible. Why is it so addictive? Why am I willing to make so many impulsive purchases? It seems that the culture here understands that addiction.
I picked up a shave ready dovo inox stainless steel with olive wood. I ordered it from Kent of Inglewood as I am in canada. As it's pretty humid here and I didn't want to risk rusting due to also learning so many other things other than rust prevention, I went with SS. I have ordered a filli 14 DT, and would like to get a Koraat 14 2.0 as well- hopefully I hear from Ulrik soon. What an absolutely cool niche business, I'm glad to have found it when searching for the best razor available and I'm eager to give one a try.
I have yet to have a nick free shave but today's, my 4th ever, was BBS in some spots, and I didn't need to touch up with a DE, so for me it was a DFS.
Highlights for me so far: the burn of an alcohol aftershave. The look and feel of a SR. The sound of the singing blade. The feeling of a long and successful stroke. The ritual of the strop.
I picked up a knifewear 1000/3000, an 8000, naniwa 12000 and i got a little nuts and ordered the suehiro 20000- i'll update later on how it goes, it was on amazon so hopefully it's genuine. I use an Ezra Arthur hanging bridle with nylon/leather. I definitely found that the 12k took my SR up a notch in smoothness.
Who else looks forward to their stubble growing back so they can shave again?? Any other canadian shavers on here?
Cheers!

. I'm getting excited to pick up a straight very soon, the INOX is one I'm interested in. I know this is not the same but yesterday because of my excitement and vodka, I was fooling around with a 6 inch filet knife by pressing the blade flat on my face than tilting it until I felt the edge and moved down seemed easy, comfortable and smooth and because forgetting blade length my left ear do longer protrudes, just kidding but I came close.
