Hi everyone, I just thought I would introduce myself before asking you all for your advice my name is Mathew.

I have recently discovered the world of straight razor shaving prior to this I just used to shave once a week with my head trimmers and call it a day, however recently I started shaving with my Gillete razor and really enjoyed the close shave it gave me.

Since then I have been watching many videos on YouTube, and I have come to the realisation that nothing quite compares to a straight razor shave.

I am interested in purchasing a razor with a fixed blade non disposable brand new.


So here's what I need your advice on.


1. What razor do you recommend I buy and from where? (I live in the UK)

2. Do you recommend I purchase anything else to go with the razor?

3.Any tips or tricks you feel that are relevant that I should know before I get started in order for me not to cut my face off

Thanks in advance for your help it is much appreciated.

All the best

Mathew.
