    Default Hello from the UK

    Hi all, my name is Chad, I'm a Canadian living in the UK. I'm 34 and have been using straight razors since I was 21. I've been lurking on this forum for some time as I buy old razors and fix them up for personal use. I keep telling my wife I'll sell them when they're ready but they rarely leave my house when finished! Knifemaking is one of my main hobbies so it made sense to cross over to razors as well. Some great info on here, I'm really looking forward to getting into it a bit more when I have time to read through old posts. Thanks in advance for all your knowledge...

    Welcome to SRP Chad, no doubt you will find all that you need to know about straights and associated equipment here. Looking forward to seeing some of your work on the forum, we like pics.

    Cheers,
    Stu

    Thanks for the welcome fellas...I don't always get a chance to take pictures of the knives I make depending on deadlines, I never even thought to take one of razors! I will in future and post some pics when I get a chance.

    Welcome!

    There's a get together in London on 16th July if you're interested, its promising to be a really great day ad an opportunity to meet folks from all over Europe!

    There's a give away as well, and if that wasn't incentive enough we're holding it in a pub..!

    There's details in the get together forum. I can't link right now as I'm on my phone.

    Hopefully see you there!

    Other than that make yourself at home here and have a good look around. Any questions just ask!

    Best,

    Stu

    Thanks for the heads up Stu, I'll do my best to get there but can't guarantee anything. It would be great to put some faces to the names right from the start and the public house would be a huge bonus!
