Hello, great site you got here. I started thinking about proper wet shaving (straight edge and double edge) a few years ago when I came across an article on the internet about traditional wet shaving. I was searching for info on shaving out of frustration with the expensive and unsatisfying shave my mach 3 gave me, that an the fact I resent paying well over the odds for blades that only cost a fraction of that to make! I've gotten pretty good with a double edge and pretty good at lathering up with soap and a brush. I really want to get into using a straight razor though I am a bit wary of the initial cost for the kit an the risk of getting the wrong thing. I got a shavette last christmas which I tried to shave with cutting myself to ribbons! I keep getting drawn back though! Yesterday I tried it again following Lynn's advice on 1st shave on this site an although I went a bit further than he recommended for the 1st shave (all one side and neck) this worked better. Does anyone have any advice on where to get a proper shave ready razor from in the UK? I am on a budget and worried I might get stung by steep import fees, customs delays by ordering from US.
