I also live in the UK. I have, and would highly recommend Lynns DVD, referred to above. Also I believe It is the general consensus that you should get at least one of your razors honed (Sharpened), by a pro. I believe there is someone based in the uk on the forum, but I don't know who.
The only place, I could find the DVD was on classicshaving, which is a US site, so you would have to pay an extra 8 pounds plus the vat in order to get it from the post office.
If you are strapped for cash, and it is OK with Lynn, you could pay Lynn for the DVD and I could send you a copy of mine ( if this doesn't break any laws), thus saving on customs duties. Or maybe there is a UK retailer that I couldn't find in my searches.

Good luck
Connor
