Do not go for the cheap China-made knives you can find on ebay, but choose quality!<!--more-->\u00a0I have several vintage blades made \u200b\u200bof quality steel, mainly from Germany, England, France and Sweden. The German steel from these places are known for good quality and are used in knives.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite straight razors are, among manny, &#8220;Bismarck&#8221; from Dovo, &#8220;Edelweis&#8221; from B\u00f6ker, &#8220;Spartacus&#8221; fom Thiers-Issard, &#8220;Puma&#8221; and &#8220;Dubl Duck&#8221;.\u00a0if you can find a razor that has &#8220;Solingen&#8221;, &#8220;Sheffield&#8221; or &#8220;Eskilstuna&#8221; stamped in the blade, you are almost guaranteed a steel of high quality.<\/p>\n<p>When you buy a new knife you should, if possible, order it &#8220;shave ready&#8221; sharpened by a &#8220;hone meister&#8221;. You should also get a good leather strop, which you use to give the knife &#8220;that little extra bit&#8221; before you shave.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a little video I made, showing razor shave. Some might think that I use to much time when i prepare the beard for the shave, but my experience is that the more time I take to heat up \/ wet the beard first \u2013 the better the shave I get.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this video will give you some help or inspiration to get started \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=alvsP6FdBnM?wmode=transparent\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=alvsP6FdBnM?wmode=transparent<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Har du vurdert knivbarbering?
