Ay up from Leeds. Welcome along we have a great shaving shop in Leeds in the Grand arcade the arcade next to the Grand theater. The Traditional shaving Company.
They sell lots of good stuff in there and it's a lovely shop with really helpful staff.
As for aloe Vera get this stuff it's great for shaving and general skin problems http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALOE-VERA...d=142356184712&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851
The transition to a DE took some time to adapt to, but irritation and ingrown hairs are gone. I have moved on to a shavette on occasional shave and my first straight is on order too.
