Hi dooey, you may care to check out some of the British razors. Both the Bengall and Invicta razors can be great shavers but most of the examples on the market are very worn; keep your eye out for good ones both at flea markets and on ebay. Some of the best British razors are the ones that were never imported to Australia on a large scale, these include those made by Wade & Butcher, Joseph Rodgers, John Heiffor and Frederick Reynolds among others. The SRP classifieds and the aforementioned auction site are your best bets here.

There were many good American makers but I'm not remotely qualified to name them. I'm sure our American members will provide excellent advice. Good luck and let us know what you find
