pps If i am honest i could not even name straight razor and looking through the buy and sell forums on various sites confuses me totally as i dont know what to look for at all.

If you mean "Whipped Dog Straights," that would be LarryAndro. I bought my first straight razor from Larry and I was quite happy with it.

Spend some time reading the information in the Wiki. You'll pick up all the basic information you need there. That's what it's for.
Namaste,

Hi technika1,

Good advice given previously!
Welcome to SRP from a fellow brit!

Now, that's funny, technika1! WhippedDog.com (the actual name) or WhippingDog.com... not sure there is a difference. It's the story of my no respect life.

As an aside, I sell razors that are cleaned somewhat, not buffed or shined by any means, but honed well. Not top of the line by any means. From comments to me, I always felt that my razors were the cheap "entry drug" to enable newbies to get started. Technika1 is a good example... bought a shave ready, but cheap razor from me. His next razor... a nice one, from someone higher up the feeding chain!

Sorry i got your website name wrong Larry but i will say you have been a great help during my first straight razor purchase.
