Welcome to the fold. +1 to Havachat advise, but if you buy from whippeddog be advised that they have a family emergency at present and are unable to hone and strop their razors before sending out.

I too started with the Dovo Best Quality, and you will not regret the purchase. Mine has been a great shaver, and still remains in my rotation. In fact, that's the razor that goes into my shave kit when I travel.

Read the Wiki and ask questions. They guys on this forum are great source of information, and they don't mind sharing. The only dumb question, is the one you don't ask.

Have a great day, U.J.

welcome, you will really like the jermyn street stuff. I've used soap, cream, after shave balm, AS lotion, and preshave gel. It is my favorite scent of all my stuff. Very clean fresh, but with a old school british feel to it; it will not irritate your skin, the scent kind of had me doubting that, but once you put it on it's very soothing.

Cheers guys. It's great knowing there's a wealth of knowledge and willingness / eagerness to help here at SRP.

Yeah from everything I've read, the jermyn street seems get good reviews from people. As for razor, the alternative to the Dovo that I'd consider is the Boker King Cutter 5/8". I've narrowed it down to these two, can't find any real difference between the two. Though I seem to have to order everything from the US which should make the shipping interesting. Last time I priced something from there, the item was under $10 and the shipping was $70.

Steve, welcome to the forum!

Welcome mate. Just reading your last post there. You should be able to source something, if not in Ireland, then in Britain surely?! I've seen some photo's of a gathering held in London at a shaving shop that seemed to have the lot. StuBear organised it. Don't know if he's around anymore, as I haven't seen his posts for some time, but others like Birnando are still around, and I believe he went to that particular 'Razor con'. Perhaps he may be able to help if you PM him.

Yea, there are some (almost) local guys that you could probably tap into to avoid the expensive tariffs...

Then again you guys always have that pot of gold you can get ahold of for extra spending money on those rainboow days.... Thats what me mum told me anyway?.. Not so much?
