Recommendations on Trip to Germany

Hello,
I'm going to be in Frankfurt next week and wanted to see if there were any suggestions for a person new to straights while there? I saw some interesting posts about Revisor but it seems there was some souring on them.
Besides brands is there any guidance you'd give to a Newb making their first in-person purchase?
For example, should I take a loop to any potential purchase? Should I check for warp? Btw, how does one do that? :blushing:

Thanks in advance!
 
Hey I'm about an hour south of Frankfurt, if you can find a DM store and purchase some shaving soaps and other body products. Also Solingen isn't to far from there, Ralf Aust, Dovo, etc are located in that town.
 
This link should help, just scroll down to Frankfurt am Main:

If you are buying a new one, I would not worry to much about warp, but if you follow the advise on these two threads, you should be OK.

Any Solingen razor should be OK, but here are some of the German brands:

I hope this works, enjoy your trip :thumbup:
