Thread: hello from southern ontario

Hello my names Jeremy I'm from the Windsor area in Ontario.

I've been using an SR for about 6 months now. I have a theirs issard from aos and had phil from classic edge hone it and it gives me great shaves.I have one other razor a wade and butcher I found at an antique shop and now i wondering if anybody knows of someone who hones in the windsor area? I dont mind driving out i just hate canada post and never feel comfortable shipping anything out. Or if there is anybody from the area that sells shave ready razors.

Thanks for reading

Hey Jeremy,

Welcome to the forum.

I know Phil's out of Oakville, and I'm out of Toronto, but I don't know anyone that hones in the Windsor area, sorry. Canada Post isn't that bad. Aside from their prices, I don't have too much to gripe about. I've never lost a razor in a transaction. But....take precaution where you can. Always ship with tracking, and use their min. $100 insurance, or pay for more if you need to. I believe its about 80 cents per $100 extra.

My two cents.

PM me if you need any help. I'll do the best I can.

Welcome to the forum,
I dont think you will have much luck finding local shave ready razors.
We are all at the mercy of Canada post.
Maxi in Toronto (for honing/restores) or Classic edge are your best local options.
If shipping times are your concern, just buy something every week and you wont have to experience the painfull wait...

Eric.

Welcome to SRP

Maxi & EPD are giving you good advice. It is always good practice to have a backup shave ready razor ...or two!

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm planing on either sending my antique store razor to maxi for a restore or buying another new razor from classic edge or some other store not sure yet. I'm starting to notice alot of tug and pull on my current razor when i go atg so i think its time for a touch up. Should i get a barber hone or a balsa strop with crox? any input would be appreciated.
