Cheers, I couldn't find that link the other day. Chris should have that link, 'out of its category' and higher up the selection list.

Lovely selection of stainless steel products, drool.

Titan H1 - http://www.shaving.ie/products/Titan...eel-Razor.html

iKon 2PB Dual Head - http://www.shaving.ie/products/iKon-...eel-Razor.html

iKon OSS Dual Head - http://www.shaving.ie/products/Ikon-...eel-Razor.html

Feather All Stainless - http://www.shaving.ie/products/Feath...AS%252dDS.html

I just love the super matt finish of the Titan, if I could justify the purchase, it would be gliding through stubble before Christmas arrives..

Check the Weber razors. Half the price of the Ikons and I use my Weber a lot more than my Ikon.

I've been meaning to include a starter kit graphic on the front page for too long. Once I get over this killer flu and feel human again I will have to get on to it.

I have been testing the Titan H1 as my main shaver and it is a seriously aggressive razor. The maker is releasing 2 milder base plates so soon there will be the choice of the M1 (Mild) and the R1 (Regular). I think I will be taking a step down to the R1 base plate when available. For a first release it is a cracking effort.

For me though the iKon is a personal favourite and I am pretty excited with their roadmap for the future especially with the announcement of a Slant for 2013. The current line up is constantly being tweaked and improved also.

With makers like Webber, PILS and Feather also on the scene and with enough interest hopefully they will become more affordable in the future.

Chris, any plans to stock Truefitt & Hill products in the future?

Just hoping you lovely people might be able to expand a post I saw in another thread:

And hitemfrank's suggestion of using a knife.

Where would a shavette come into this list? I'm tempted to pick one up before I think about investing in an expensive straight.

[hitemfrank]

From what I've read, shavettes will teach you the basic technique for using a straight razor but because they use DE blades they are more unforgiving than a straight razor.

Also investing in a straight razor doesn't have to be that expensive. Over at whippeddog.com you can get a starter kit for $65 (about €50) delivered. You get a shave ready straight razor and a strop kit. If you decide it's not for you, you can even get a refund on the straight razor.

Just remember that it might not be the prettiest of straight razors you get. Here is the razor I got from him when I started out using a straight razor. It's got some cosmetic issues but shaves great.

Have to agree the website sucks and their stock flys out.
Do a search on weber razors and you'll see two trends,
They are great razors especially at their price point
Everyone is looking for stock.

Mantic's take on them

Was thinking of getting my dad a razor kit for Xmas http://www.shaving.ie/products/The-B...arter-Kit.html

What is the difference between the razors I can choose for this set?

The Edwin Jagger and the Muhle both share the same head. I have the Edwin Jagger and I must say, it's a nice razor and ideal for a beginner. It is very forgiving and out of the box it looks fantastic.
I have no experience of the other two razors I'm afraid.

Take the plunge and once you get into a routine with lathering and different passes its a breeze.

The only thing I miss about the cartridges is the speed, but to be fair one pass would leave me presentable but its hard to resist getting it a bit smoother.
