firstly hello!
I am a kent london based bladesmith and have only recently been re introduced to the straight razor when one of your modds came along to my forge for a couple of days tuition on bashing and grinding steel . It was a great 2 days and I learned quite a bit as well as passing on some forging grinding and ht info ( thanks Stuart for a great couple of days)
As a result I am now the proud owner of one completely hair free arm and am looking to move onto my face.
I have straight shaved in the past in my 20's and early 30's but must admit to being more of a beardy tash monger than a clean shaven man....
however the idea of shaving with a razor of my own making does appeal especially for shaving well grown stubble. and looking around here it seems the Razor is a form that has many possibilities for a bladesmith.....they are an elegant tool.
I was wondering if there were any recommendations of uk based high quality shaving cream /oil and brushes?
