Bonjour de l'Australie

Hello my new friends   

My name is Rick and my home town is Melbourne, Australia. I have been DE shaving now for 2 years and it has been fantastic. I studied French in High School for 1 year but I'm afraid my memory is not the best now.

My modest shave den contains a small collection of vintage Gillette razors, a Merkur 34C (the other daily love of my life), Muhle R41,  Semogue, Shavemac and Simpson brushes, a collection of blades (enjoy Personna Med Prep's, Polsilver and Astra SP's), a Thiers Issard straight that I am too frightened of to use, enough creams and soaps to last me 2 lifetimes and other accoutrements that make the morning shave a joy.

The internet allows me to make friends with shavers from all over the world and I enjoy searching for shaving equipment and soaps from Europe and the U.S.

When I am not shaving I enjoy camping with my family, photography and drinking coffee with friends.

Thank you for having me   

Rick

Hello Rick   

 

Coffee? What do you call a coffee? Starbucks?   

I recently had some australian coffee, the only problem with it was the price tag (the travel is pretty expensive)   

Welcome in this group !

Are there any specific australian product that are of interest in the shaving world?   

 welcome here!

 

Welcome man   

Welcome here my friend !

Hello Rick!
Aussies are welcome here!

 

 

Salutations.

  Welcome Rick.

 

Australia gave us AC/DC and Airbourne, so welcome here, Rick !  

Wait... Rick ? Is that you ?  

 

Welcome Rick   

Australia is a beautiful country   

Good shaves

 

 

 

Welcome !!!

Merci everyone for your magnifique welcome. It's so good to be amongst the cool people   I visited France once - you guys are so charming and sophisticated.

@Mach 1 - Starbucks tastes like merde   . Only for the tourists. Melbourne folk enjoy coffee with their friends in small cafes where coffee is made with the heart. I love single-origin beans from South America.

Australia is not a big industry for shaving products. We have many but small artesian shaving soap makers. I recommend Occams and Otoko Organics. Australian made Palmolive Classic shave stick but the European version is much superior.

Thank you for your kind welcome and friendship.

Rick.
