Thread: book and razor combo

Found this site while checking out the King of Shaves pages. They offer a book and a straight razor w/replaceable blades (didn't say how many blades, probably 1). for just under 40 us. Thought someone here might find it interesting, if I can scrape up some cash I may order one just for the heck of it.The url is

Looks like they will give you only one blade w/ it.
Razors look nice enough, their Bismarck has a worked spine by the looks of it.

I have to say it was this book that started it all for me a few years ago. I bought one from the author (I think he's a barber in Essex, England). It comes with a pretty average shavette - not a very good one as it doesn't hold the blade in very well. I later got a 'genie - Rand Rocket' shavette as a gift, which is miles better than what comes with this book. The blade it comes with (it was only one when I got it nearly two years ago now) is a Wilkinson Sword. They are my favourite shavette/DE blades and I highly recommend them.

Needless to say, the book is great for a beginner, but there is more information available on sites and forums like this one. I have no use for mine, so if anyone wants it, PM me with details of your home country.
