    Default Looking for a half decent SR set in the UK

    I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to get me started with SR shaving. I'd like to buy a set with everything I'll need to get started or atleast a razor and strop, brush and stand. I'm also fine with buying everything separate if need be

    I want ant something that's not going to make me want to give up straight away so I'm willing to throw some money at it for something half decent.

    It it has to also be from the UK.

    all advice welcome

    I would say order direct from Ralf Aust in Germany. Is Europe so no customs etc. If it has to be uk, I've heard good things about The Invisible Edge. Greetings. Welcome to SRP.

    For a strop, check out Westholme strops on Facebook.

    Westholme strops are great. Just keep in mind you will shred your first couple of strops due to lack of practice with stropping.
    If you contact him, might be worth asking if he can do a beginners strop (x2) 2.5inch wide

    In UK, look at Tony Holmes at Home page of Taylors1000.com Straight Razor resources site. He is a SRP member.
