Thanked: 1Thank you,
Executive shaving don't have many straight razors.
But the Invisible Edge have a huge amount of straight razors.
I have been on some of the American vendors websites and they don't seem to have anywhere near as many razors as the invisible edge do.

Thanked: 174You are most welcome. And indeed they do have a nice variety. What's even more important to a new SR user, they don't ship them with their factory edge, but genuinely shave-ready. I believe Jamie Mahoney (a.k.a. @celticcrusader) does the honing work for them, so you can be assured you will get a great edge.

Thanked: 1081Hi!
There are not many UK vendors. If your looking at new razors like Dovo and Thiers Isssard razors Invisible Edge is your best bet, and they do come shave ready.
For Ralph Aust and Revisor your better going to source.
If your looking for vintage, Edge-Dynamics (PM @ JOB15) has some high end ones that will come shave ready.
Other than that your best bet is Ebay. There is a few vendors on there but I cannot vouch for them being shave ready.

Thanked: 556If you would like a reasonably priced restored vintage razor, try Griffiths Shaving Goods in the US. They ship worldwide and every review I’ve seen rates them very highly. Also try the Bell/Sell/Trade thread here on SRP.

Yes Edge Dynamics for vintage razors and specialised honing.
Probably i would say the craftsmanship cannot be matched by other vendors .....

Edge Dynamics if you are looking for a vintage. I have razors from Joe and they are shave ready and gorgeous.
