Thanked: 1903Way overpriced, though, at least compared to the new low end Dovos like this one: Rasiermesser DOVO 5/8" The Different Scent:
Those are utterly fantastic razors at a killer price.

Thanked: 398Preferably, I'd like to get it from here in Canada. With the Cdn $ at such a low value it's becoming more and more expensive to do cross border shopping.
There's this place in Canada that offers some dovos

With a site like that, try to find if they have a brick and mortar store and give them a call to see if they can get you something not listed on the site (nothing on there really leapt out at me).

Thanked: 398I've ordered from them before and they're really nice people. I've already asked them about their straights razors and apparently they don't come 'shave ready' since they do not hone them there. Currently I have a frederick reynolds that I got from a member here and I got a wade and butcher and Simmon hardware in the mail as well.
I'm just trying to figure out what I want for christmas and I thought a nice brand new razor would be something to consider..

A razor is a great idea! But it sounds like you have a few nice ones already. With exchange rates how they are, and customs being what they are, mayhaps a very nice new brush to match one of your existing blades?
However, don't let it be said that I discourage the purchasing of a new razor! I'm just saying keep your options open.

Thanked: 398I already have a nice Edwing Jagger BBB that I like quite a lot.
I also have soaps and creams to last me for a while.
I got a norton 4k/8k and yellow coticule in the mail as we speak.
Also got a nice little barber hone that I just received yesterday for $4 heh
