Hi all.
My name is Neil Sharples, I am 58 and live in a place called Wotton under edge, this is halfway between Gloucester in the north and Bristol to south. I have just got back into straight razor shaving after about 20 yrs. In moving house my shave kit was lost or left somewhere so back to Gillette it was. I was given a new set for my birthday this year, only a cheapie from an outlet called "menkind". To be honest it is a pile of ~~~~. The shaving mug, brush and soaps are great, the strop is fair but the razor is cheap and nasty. To this end I have just purchased a pair of antique razors from eblag. One of them is a George Plum and the other is a sprock.
I am hoping that they are ok and will get them honed professionally I think.Attachment 200277
If anyone in the UK knows of a good honer I would be thankful if you would let me know.
