big hello to the shave community from British Columbia

[joshjay2]

I'm right by Victoria city
Love living in this place we even have a place that sells safety and strait blades exclusively called the copper hat
I am even using their locally made lather!

[joshjay2]

I always found I was never happy with electric or any multi blade from walmart that looks like a big ugly Nike sport shoe Haha
I want to get into a straight in the next few months but was told start with DE and I think it was the right starting place for sure

I have met Brad from the Copper Hat, but have never been able to co-odinate buying anything from him, as his shop used to be by appointment only, no regular hours. I have bought stuff from Simply the Best and from Old Morris as well. There is also Victory Barbers that has a bit of wet shaving inventory as well. There are a few options there. No matter how you get introduced to wet shaving it is always miles ahead of any other method. I started on straight razors right away. It is all about being dedicated to learning.

I've bought copper hat soaps when Brad was here in Edmonton at a trade show, they are fantastic with a great post! Also, welcome from Edmonton!

I go to Vancouver about 3 to 4 times a year any cool shops with shave good?

[RezDog]

I have not explored Vancouver much, but the is a shop called The Barbershop at the Blackbird, it is on Dunsmeir not far from the waterfront. They have a fair selection of soaps and aftershaves but not much of razors.

Welcome to the forum. Great bunch of folks here.
And like Rezdog said.
JUST DO IT! [emoji6] Get the staight and dive in.
No sense beating around the bush.
JMO.
You can start now or later, its just that much longer youll spend in the learning curve.
