I've purchased all my razors off of eBay but you need to know how to evaluate a razor, and know your preferences. Ex. full hollow, 1/4 hollow, wedge, frame back. Then there's the width and shape. A lot of the sellers are
shavers/collectors. Word or warning, one will never be enough! So there's a good chance the seller can answer questions .That being said there's a huge community to answer any questions here as well. The only place I've ever seen a new razor is at the board room. Antique stores will have some. But it's unlikely the owner will be able to help you out.
Fendrihan online is canadian and has a decent selection and being canadian will ship quite a bit quicker. The big hurdle is learning to hone, strop, and shave. For me it took a lot of reading, and trial and error. Probably would have been easier with someone there hands on but if I can do it, anyone can. one of
my friends is taking the plunge. He bought a razor new and it isn't shave ready so I'll be squaring him away this week. Any questions, concerns, help honing or whatever message me (fsgt_mcphee@hotmail.com)

When Pigs Fly on Whyte ave. Classic Edge and Fendrihan both ship out fast.

If you ever make it down to Calgary, there is Knifewear. They will be opening a shaving specific shop soon as well. They usually have a couple different brands of razors available and a decent selection of soaps, aftershaves, and oils.
