    Hello. I've just bought my first straight razor. I have been trying to start doing this for years but have never commuted to a real razor. I've tried the replacement blade types but never felt comfortable. So looking forward to developing a new skill

    Hi, assuming that you mean perth W.A. and not perth Scotland, there are a few of us about, as crackers said give a hoy on the down under forum and that will get their attention.
    I am not around much as I work fifo on a movable feast of a roster at the moment, but will try to help where I can. Eddy79 is down Gosnells way and is a pretty helpful fellow.

    I have just bought a vintage razor that's been refurbished it's an 11/16 Silver stall .I've tried the cheap replacement blade ones but they never feel solid. I'm in canning vale in perth western australia. Now I'm looking at strops. It seems it's not just a razor and off you go now I'm looking a soaps.
