Thread: Importing..

Hey all

I would like to thank every one for there past posts. I have learned much from this site.

I live in Australia (Perth) and i am having trouble getting my hand on gear. I was wondering if any one knows about importing Straight edge razors? and why it seems to be such a problem? Or if any one knows of a half local shop?

Any help would be appreciated.. Coyotee

Cheers any help would be sweet.

www.dovorazors.com sending worldwide
www.vintagescent.com- quite expensive

Coyotee - I live in NZ, and have bought a good few razors from the classifieds here (definitely the way to go with buying razors, IMHO). I've never had a problem having them brought in, the seller simply puts "razor" or "shaving supplies" on the customs label, and they wave it right on through. Oz may be different, but I wouldn't think THAT radically different. What sort of problems are you having with bringing them in?

Coyotee,
Failing ebay, from which I have bought a few razors lately try this place
Straight Razors & Cut Throat Razors - Men's Biz
A shop in Sydney that seles Dov's and currently free postage. They seem to have all the stuff you may require.

Ah Many thanks.

Can i ask another silly question? How much of a difference is there between blade costs? I have see really nice looking razors for $300 and some for $50 is the difference in the handle as much as the steal?
