    15 pounds translated to dollars makes it a very good find, indeed. Seen them go for twice that individually. Most SE's, even the old ones, should take the standard Gem single edge blade. If it doesn't fit right check and see if Feather or one of the Eastern Europe countries is making one. Be careful buying SE blades. There are a lot out there sold for utility work in scrapers and the like, not for shaving (unless you feel like removing the first layer of skin).

    Hi,

    Just had a really quick search on google and I cannot find any dealers in the UK! There appears to be quite a few in the US! All I can find are those DIY/scraper type blades!

    If anyone knows where I can get some, then please shout out, otherwise I will have to pay stupid money for shipping.

    Thanks.

    Just off the top of my head you might want to query Neil Miller or Celticrusader in the UK. They should have some knowledge about those razors (they can yell at me if I'm wrong).
