Thread: Hello from Ontario Canada

Been lurking for a few days and decided to create my account today. Really a ton of information to digest for a newbie like myself. I am in the process of ordering my first Straight now and am overwhelemed by the product choices and in some cases prices.

I started my quest towards striaghts a number of years ago. I was working near Toronto and once a week would treat myself to a wet shave and a great little "Barber Shop". I so looked forward to that 30 minutes of peace every week. I started to change my daily routine to include using Soap's and Brush, preshave and post shave treatments a year or so ago and now feel I want to advacning to a straight.

Being a local small business owner I feel obligated to shop locallly for my new shaving kit if possible or at least keep it Canadian if/where possible. But I have to say the prices offered by some of the American Mail order compnaies sure make it a tuff thing to stick to.

Anyway that is me and I look forward to getting my new straight and starting my journey...On that note think I will head down to Toronto this weekend and treat myself to that wet shave I used to so love.

Hey Hey, another Canuck and fellow Ontarian!

Welcome to SRP. This is the place to begin that journey, and I believe you have summed it up nicely by saying there is a wealth of information to digest. There is, absolutely. Take it slow and enjoy it. I love to come home at the end of a work day and relax on SRP for a while.

Welcome again,
