Strangely enough It was meeting Steve at the Uk meet that made me think of selling retail.
As for Sheffield making razors again I actually asked Taylor Eye Witness (still making knives) Taylor's Eye Witness - kitchen knives, kitchen tools, pocket knives, sharpeners, electronic tools, scissors but they said they didn’t have the equipment any more!
There is one Sheffield manufacturer but I cant find the name Its on a Wholesale list & you have to pay to join!
As an idea of the need of another manufacturer the lead time on1/2 of Dovo’s range is 9 to 10 months!
