    Default Best place to get a Dovo in Canada?

    Can anyone give me a suggestion or recommendation on where to get my first razor in Canada? Online, or local around the Ottawa area. I'm thinking the Classic Dovo 5/8 in black is the best choice for me. Or if there are other suggestions, I'd be glad to hear. Or if someone is willing to sell a used razor at a fair price to a new member, I'd also be glad to hear from you. Thanks!

    Classic edge is good when they're in stock. Also SRD but the shipping is pricy from the states.

    I think Knifewear has a store in Ottawa. They are primarily knife guys, but some have are decent with a razor. Or just check the classifieds here.

    I do not know who hones the razors for Fendrihan but I have had razors honed by Phil from Classicedge and can say the edges are very good. Personally I would not buy a new razor with a factory edge if I did not know how to hone a straight razor. It seems like it is almost down to the flip of a coin if the factory edge is really shave ready. If it is not shave ready you will have a miserable first experience of a shave and will have to send it out for honing anyway. Personally, I would wait for Phil to have what you want in stock. As a bonus Phil offers a free second honing.
