    Default UK Suppliers Thread...

    A lot of the info on various threads is US based, so I thought I'd start a UK thread. Unfortunately I only know of one place to buy, so if anyone wants to help please reply with where you get your supplies from and I'll update the post.

    The Invisible Edge: The Invisible Edge - Scales, Pins, Cases (lots more too)
    Model Dockyard: Model Dockyard - Brass Sheet and Brass Rod

    P.S. If there *is* a wiki or existing thread for UK suppliers, please let me know

    Here is the url of one of the finest suppliers world wide. He just happens to be in the UK. I think you will find that many suppliers in the States and around the world will ship to the UK.

    www.strop-shop.co.uk - hand made straight razor strops, razor pouches, shaving accessories, vintage razors, razor honing and restoration the proprorietor is Neil Miller and is a member here.

    I have just started my first restoration project, and I got some 0.01" brass sheet and 1/16" brass rod from the Model Dockyard. Website here: Welcome to the Model Dockyard.

    Quick friendly service.

    I've actually emailed The Strop Shop today about somethig else The website seems to indicate they are are razor shop, rather than a supplier of parts - do they also sell parts for restoration etc?

    I do not believe Neil has pins, washers or other fastners but it would not hurt to ask. He does make custom scales and offers hones and assorted honing materials. He also does restorations and may well guide you to
    suppliers local to the UK. Good luck.

    Might be a dumb question... but... how do I edit the original post? I have found a supplier for honing stones, and wanted to add it:

    Eden Web Shops Edenwebshops - Honing Stones

    Yes, they seem really cheap. I've never used the shop so can't vouch for them, but thought it was worth adding to the UK Suppliers list.
