Straight blades in Toronto
Hello everyone,
I'd like to mention that this forum has been very helpful as it has saved me some money by bringing to my attention that zeepk and simco blades are basically crap, therefore stopping me from buying them.
Ok so heres my question, i live in toronto and Im in need of a decent if not perfect straight razor. I've checked some stores and they usually have only one per store, which isnt very pleasing. I started looking for the razors that you use safety blades , and unfortunately the only one available is the dovo shavette, which does not have a very classic look to it, and i should say it looks rather cheap ( but sells for around $65).
I was wondering if you guys knew about a place that sells the classic straight razors? preferably new ones.
:hmmm:
Used Straight on Kijiji - Toronto
Store west of T.O. having razors made for them...
I bought a razor from this store, which is 2 hours West of Toronto, just before London, and received an email from the owner saying he's having some razors custom made. In response to an email I sent him, he responsed with:
"at present we are having 60 real razors and 60 custom leather strops being made, with our own name on them, in 5 different colors they should be here within a month or so, just in case your friends need some......
.......they will be antiques style, new , and very affordable."

Bill is the owner of this store, and you just couldn't ask for a nicer guy to deal with. He told me he makes his strops from a vintage pattern, and they are the original size as a vintage strop.
Hope I offered some help to you guys!!
