There's a classifieds section on this site, look up at the toolbar^^^ (where it says |Forums|Wiki|Classifieds|ect.)

Hi all;

I'm from the 'peg. Don't think there's many of us.

Eddie's Sharpening (202 Wallassey) sells straight razors, strops, soaps etc (pretty good prices). There is a local barbershop that specializes in straight razor shave (haven't tried it myself) and apparently he gives lessons , advice etc. Its called Pace hairstyling for men, and he is a block south of Corydon on Jessie (street that crosses Corydon where the big white MTS exchange building is). Edward Carrierre (Broadway at Spence)(second floor) sells wet shaving supplies (brushes, soaps, balms, oils) and might have straight razors.

I too, am from Winnipeg. The song is indeed called "One Great City", which is a reference to our recently abolished welcome sign motto. It is however, a fantastic song.

I have heard of Eddie's, but haven't had the opportunity to stop there yet. The hours aren't condusive to a drop by, as he works out of his home and often is only open 8 - 4 on weekdays.

I have a colleague at the office who's husband goes to the McLaren on Main for a straight-shave from a barber.

What do you locals think of Folklorama?

Right song, pictures of the wrong city.

Greetings Gents,

I live in Calgary. I was just thinking of starting a thread, trying to find out if there were more like me in the area but then I saw this one.

How about it... any other Calgarians?

Agreed :-) I still haven't gone to give it a try. Apparently it's cheap...
