Hope you had a good one Andrew

Take it slow and make sure as has already been said get a properly 'honed' razor. I bought one recently from an online site who said that all their blades where honed unfortunately this wasn't to be the case. If might be worth getting on the forums and buying from an enthusiast who has a good...

I've been using a lot of Fjallraven over the last year and have been quite impressed with the Keb line of products. I do however only buy it in the sale.

Vivo's are good if they don't fall apart due to the bad glue. This is meant to have been fixed now though. They have good boot in the pipeline so keep and eye on their site. Also have a look at Belville's mini miltec boots as they are good, although the heel is quite stiff and you may need to...
