Ah thanks Bob. I see them crop up in the SOTD and always wondered how many you had that were "Canadian". The w&b is beautifully elegant

A friend of mine has a W&B straight commemorating Canada's 1st Prime Minister, Sir John A. MacDonald. A family heirloom -I'm trying to encourage her to put new scales on. The blade is in remarkably good shape.

Happy Canada day indeed ! Aside from all of my good Canadian friends on SRP, I have many good friends who come to FL and live in their condos during the winter. Had it not been for the many Canadians who bought here in past years, this condo community might not have survived the crash of 2007. So believe me when I tell you ...... I appreciate my Canadian brothers and sisters.

You are welcome. I don't think there were a lot stamped Canada/Canadian made but I keep looking. I think I have a couple marked with the Canadian retailer that sold them also. Yea, have to agree the W&B is an elegant old bird and to my mind a classic straight.

Many great memories of Florida. Visiting the Gulf side from Clearwater to Sarasota and on the Atlantic side for 2 shuttle launches. Florida is an honourary Canadian province ..at least from my perspective. Cheers! *raises glass*

Now that is a razor I would snap up in a heart beat and put to work. I have seen a couple pop up from time to time but her's is in better shape than the ones I have seen. Thanks for posting it.

I would too but she's not parting with it any time soon. At least she knows where it could go to a good home if that day comes.
