Hello from sunny UK lol.this strange hobby all begun about 9 months ago whilst on holiday in Tenerife ,After packing I realised I had no cartridges for my trusty king of shaves razor,so I went out and bought some 8 UK pounds not happy.so there I am in Tenerife needing I shave I realised they were not in my case or anywhere to be found not a happy person .
I then went next door to our freinds to ask if he had a razor which I could use he then gave me a wilkinson sword black plasty thing i had one of those twenty years ago .
He also gave me a brush and a bowl of soap wtf I thought . so I enjoyed I nice shave with it the soap made a huge difference .
I then get back to the UK give the wife my king of shaves razor I order a merkur 38c barber pole .after looking at forums I now have a dovo blonde full hollow ground a norton 4/8k combo,naniwa 12k ,diamond paste and Crox also starshaving 3" English bridle big daddy strop .
