If there is such a place, I'd sure like to find it.

that's because that traveller dude evidentally held up the last shipment..

Hi Tekbow,

Guilty as charged. There does seem to be a real selection of excellent Euro razors available in the US.

HOWEVER, never being satisfied, I not only snatch up great euro razors on eBay here in the US but I got five of my French razors (1 TI AND 4 LG) off of eBay.fr. at about 25% of the cost on US eBay. Also, my last two purchases were a 4/8 Filarmonica Inox from a dealer in England and a 5/8 Filarmonica Doble Temple from a dealer in France, again at lower prices. So now you are not safe even in your home country. Scotland is next on my agenda. HeHeHe.

You can run and hide but ALL YOUR RAZORS ARE MINE!!! LOL


(You know this is in jest, right?)

Interesting post. Thanks for bringing the topic to the fore.

By the way, one of the fondest memories in my career was the privilege of conducting a Saturday evening choral concert in Royal Festival Hall on a European Tour with my choir and then attending Eucharist in St. George's Chapel the next morning. A real mountaintop experience! Not only are your Sheffield razors great, but you also have one of the greatest musical heritages in all of history.


Happy Shaving!

You wouldn't be the only one Now try a Bengall, Taylors or Invicta, all fine Sheffield hollows & you may have a different opinion but maybe they used Swedish steel for all we know
