New guy from the UK

Hi all, my name is Adam and I'm from the UK.

I started shaving with a straight razor a few weeks ago, just using one with removable blades until i can afford a proper one, and i have to say i love it! I just cant wait to get my hands on a proper one!

p.s Is there anyone else on here from the uk?

Hi mate, Im from the uk and new to all this to. where abouts are you?

Yep there are a few UK members here, welcome to SRP.

For some excellent restored vintage razors have a look at Neil Miller's website or Steve Dempster's who also does modern Dovo and Thiers Issard

Cheers

I'm from the Durham area. Thanks, i have checked out those sites and have found a few good ones. What would you say about the Ford & Medley razors? Worth buying or not?

I don't have one myself but I believe they were good.

AdamSon,

Welcome and hello from Hastings :)

In addition to the list that Jeltz has given, an excellent range of shaving consumables may be had from Mr Mayhew at : Welcome To Connaught Shaving

Have fun !

Best regards

Russ

Hello Adam. Welcome. I'm not from the UK but I did live there for many years. I was in NW1 near Regent's Park. Worked just off Fenchurch Street near Lloyds. Great time in my life but I miss my local publican most of all!
