Hi all.

G'day from down under.
Hope you have countless great shaves & a steady hand
Welsome to SRP! I hope you enjoy your stay, it's a great place for help, advice and support.:D
I was in Calgary two years ago, just missed the Stampeede though. Would love to get back to see it one day.
Welcome to SRP! Great to hear you are enjoying shaving again.
hey I'm from Calgary as well. Where are you buying supplies from?
Well. If you like Proraso products, head to Lina's Italian Market on Centre St North.
I bought most of my stuff from Fendrihan.com | Merkur Safety Razors Shaving Creams Shave Brushes in Brampton Ontario.
Did the straight razor come honed ? I am new to this but understand a ready to shave new razor is not really quite so. I am looking at the Dovo razors....
Don't quote me on this but i have herd that Dovo razors do come with a "factory hone" on them. Not sure if that's shave ready or not tho.
I honed and stropped mine before I used it.
As well, there's a knife shop at Chinook Centre and they may or may not have razors in stock right now. I've read that the fellow who runs that shop hones, and is a straight user. He's got a large selection of hones as well. I didn't find his shop until after I had bought all my stuff online.
Anyway, there are some options for us who are north of the USA.
