Hi Folks...firstly, this is my very first post on here! In addition to being a forum noobie, I'm also new to SE razors too, having always used DE and cartridge style up to now. But I'm enjoying my new-found early midlife crisis, and can see myself starting a modest razor collection. Crikey, It'll be cut-throats next!
Anyhow, enough of the intro...I have recently found a nice Valet Autostrop, with nickel plated tin and strop, which has cleaned up really nicely. I do need to work out how to get the strop supple and ready for action, but first thing's first...what blades can I use with the Valet (there's a slightly rusty one with it which has the "Valet" cutout)? Are there any cost-effective modern blades which will fit this? If so, who the heck sells them?!
