    Hi,

    Any one know of a source in the UK for SE feather razors which i think will fit Valet's as i want to try shaving with mine??

    That depends on the model of your Valet. If you are so lucky to have an early model, then you can modify GEM SE blades to fit in you Valet. Otherwise you're stuck with the Feather SE blade.

    To know which Valet type you have: look over here.

    And on youtube there's at least one example how to modify GEM blades.

    Here's a blade source in the USA. But UK based? I dunno.

    But when you've got some blades eventually, you'll absolutely love your autostrop. I sure do mine!

    Thats really bizarre - you use the razor blade menu without selecting the single blade sub menu and it does not show the feather blades?? but are shown when you do!

    Just ordered some - postage is expensive !!! - £6 total for 5 - hope the shave is worth it!!

    Thanks Tom

    Yes, you'll like the Valet and the Feather blades, Paul.
    Well... I don't exactly like 'em.
