Hello,

I've been shaving with DE's for 3 years, and 1.5yrs with a shavette + Feathers.

I want to move onto straights, but I've been having problems finding quality looking razors in the UK.

Are there any brands/stores that source legitimate razors that you guys could recommend?

Is there a guide on how to ensure that the blades I'm getting are not fake?

I know about this guide: Brands of Straight Razors to Avoid - Straight Razor Place Library

Are there any differences, aside from aesthetics, of two razors that are the same size and same material by the same company?
For example, two stainless steel 5-8's from dovo, priced differently.

Thank you,
-Ram
