well at the moment my daily soap is the truefitt and hill sandlewood using my grandfather's Aluma-tech gillette. green Astra blades and my only brush is a muhole vivo badger.

currently my gillette super slim adjustable is almost back from razor emporium just needed the tune up but I'm saving up to get my great grandfather's super speed flare tip re-vamped with them too
 
I have personally dealt with Dave before (even when he was still based in the UK) and can highly praise both his craftsmanship and his customer service! Really friendly guy to deal with (y)

Have you considered Dave from Restored Razors? He is now located in New Zealand and does some great restoration work...and might be (a lot) cheaper:

Sport Shaving is another good alternative, especially for rhodium plating which seems to run a little cheaper than some other vendors. Then again, they are located in the USA so shipping is more expensive.

Also, hi Blake. It's good have you around here!
