Is the quality of steel not better in the vintage razors? Particularly sheffield.
Again just from reading up, not enough personal experience to say for sure myself.

There is a vendor that is a member here that lives in the UK. He is mostly a strop maker but does restores and honing, perhaps a we chin wag with him via PM might be a plan. I'm sure he would have a recommendation or two that is a little closer to home.

Welcome to the Forum Nuke! I've only been here a few months myself but I've been made very welcome. Lots of great advice and help to be had.
I have a couple of vintage Bokers, one of which is a King Cutter. Fantastic razor. It's definitely my favourite. I'm gonna be spoiling myself to a new King Cutter in the new Year from The Invisible Edge. Less that £100. I've also got my beady eye on a couple of razors from Revisor. My RAD is biting!
I also have several other cheaper razors I got from EBay. Some good, some not so good. That's the gamble.
Anyway, I don't think it matters where you get your first razor from, you'll end up getting more.
