New Scot on board
Hi guys, newbie to the forum from sunny Scotland!!!
Been using a DE for about 3 years now and occassional straight razor. The straight I used I inherited from my dad but I recently dropped it on a tiled floor in an hotel bathroom cracking the scales off and breaking the blade. Was lucky enough to find this site so busy browsing for a replacement.
Some great info and advice here, so hoping to get a replacement soon and hopefully go on to mainly straight with occassional DE.

Welcome Welcome Welcome
Glad to see you're looking for a new razor . You should get new scales for your dad's razor. Shaving with a razor that has a history should not be missed. Beware of RAD (it can't be avoided) and enjoy the ride.

Mainly straight, with a side of DE sounds good.
Welcome to the forum. Dropping straights sucks...it really does. I feel your pain.

Hi and welcome
It may be worth checking the classifieds here for a razor, but also Neil Miller's Strop Shop sells restored vintage razors and Steve Dempster Sells Vintage and new Dovos and Thiers Issards all of which are UK based.Regards
