A tip of the hat from Toronto, to you good sirs!
Hello, gentleman. I'm Hasan and you can find me in your local watering hole- so long as that watering hole is in downtown Toronto and carries some great beer. I have been peering through these forums for some light information over the past couple months and came to appreciate the fact that it was high time i start from the top with a fresh look at the art of a good shave. Since the age of 15 I regularly treated myself to a proper straight razor shave at the hands of a barber. It was my vacation every 3 to 4 months, my personal treat, and my most meditative undertaking. Now, over a decade later i want it to be my own ability, and my own private meditation. there is something deeply attractive to me of the simplicity and craft found in the build and maintenance of a good blade. I recently became the fortunate new owner of a Boker red injun. i want this blade to be a new family tradition- for me, for my son, for his son, someday.

Welcome to SRP!
There are quite a few Torontonians here.
Check out the meet in April
I'm sure Maxi or JDto will chime in here.
Regards,
MIke

Thanked: 993Whammo! Another Cancuck.
Definitely would love to have you come out to our next meet. April 6th I think is the date we're rolling around, if I'm not mistaken.
All the guys on here are helpful, and there's no exception locally... the Ontario crowd are just a great bunch of guys.
Ask any questions you like....and if you need help, just send me a PM. I'll do my best.

Thanked: 0Welcome aboard Hasan!
I'm only a month or two into the straight shaving game, but have had a blast getting into it, and have learned so much from the extremely friendly and helpful bunch of guys on this site. I plan on attending the next meetup as well, and like yourself, am a regular at any joint in T.O. that has good beers on tap.
Cheers,
Andrew

I could not be more excited to get started with the wisdom of this group at my fingertips! I'm also very happy to see all the fellow canucks in here, thanks very much for the warm welcome.
Max I, I'll definitely be sending a PM your way shortly as I would like to see my first SR professionally reconditioned. After that I think I want to learn step by step how to restore myself. I'm also looking forward to the meet and will keep an eye out for any updates, hope to see some great guys there.
