With great difficulty if you live in England, I'm afraid. The following European shops have it Anciens fauteuils de coiffeur / Antique barber chairs - Page d'accueil / Homepage and Barbershop Classics The Shaving Shop There are also some US based Ebayers who will ship to the UK.
Kindest regards,
Alex
Or you get creative and find a trusted SRP member that lives in the US that would ship it to you, or better yet, that would trade buying/shipping favors with you ;-). This way you would both save a lot in shipping, etc. This is the way I would do it if I were in your situation. Aqua Velva sure has its fans...
Al raz.
