Hope this is in the right place. I usually get these boxes from turnersretreat but they are out of stock and have a 7 week wait on them. I can order them from penkitsmall but before I do i'm wondering if anyone else knows a supplier in the UK or Ireland for them.

No replies so far then I see Stephen.

It's a Rizheng product. You can go to them direct if you can't find a supplier. Their shipping starts at $25 though, so you need to take that into account and order sufficient quantities to make it worthwhile, and you'l probably also get stung for 2.75% duty and 20% Vat on the way in - but if you get your maths right you won't pay any more than you are currently buying them for, and you can usually have them within a week.

All the "penkits from my spare bedroom dot co dot uk" sellers buy their stuff from Rizheng and just flog it to you for more than they pay for it - but there is nothing to stop you from going direct. They will sell to anyone.

Thanks Phil, I have used them a few times before when I couldn't get enough razor kits or something like that so I might just go ahead and order 50 or 100 of them and make it worth my while. Thanks again.

Why not make your own so simple to do if you have a router also by doing so you can pick which wood combination you want
