I am a fan of adjustable razors and have just read a very positive review of this US manufactured razor but cannot find a UK supplier.
Has any body out there come across a UK distributor?

Interesting setup, from Australia, razors made in Asia, but selling from USA. The various models have a very "Chinese" look to them, and there's quite a discussion about some dispute with Baili, linked from the VB website FAQs.

Amazon.com (USA) has them, and they ship to the UK via Amazon("fulfilled by Amazon"). The cost in $US is $46.97 plus another $15.90 "shipping and import fees" charged at checkout. I'm not sure if that would cover the £8 RM charge.

There are also new ones from the USA offered on eBay UK.

The Viking Blades USA website offers free USA shipping , but merely invites enquiries for overseas orders. I doubt that anyone in the UK is likely to be selling these, and I guess Amazon.com may be your best bet.

Viking Blade Chieftain TTO is one kickabout razor.! It shaves like the Futur on setting #3. I love mine. They are all made in China but, with very good quality control.

Thanks useful to know. I read one report which claimed this model was very aggressive so your view is helpful.
 
Good advice from you all. I emailed Vikings Blade to get some further advice on the range I was interested in and found them extremely helpful. In the end ordered the chrome version of the Emperor and the Crusader from Amazon.com. Following correspondance with Lars from Vikings Blade he offered to arrange with Amazon.com to waive the shipping costs to the UK. A company that clearly puts customer care as a priority.
 
Did find this one here in the UK but £88 is a damn site more than $60

It does have a sort of attractiveness about it. I'm not an adjustable man but if I was I might have thrown the money wand at one.
