Maxi --
I was going through the Fendrihan website. Some razors were "factory" edge (with a warning), and others were "pre-sharpened".
For an example of "factory edge":
DOVO Straight Razor, Faux Mother of Pearl Scales, 5/8" | Fendrihan Shaving Store

PS (to the original poster) -- Maxi is one of our Eastern Canadian honemeisters. Might be a good person to keep in mind if you run into trouble.

Charles,
Thanks for clarifying. I didn't know that "some were" and "some weren't" on Fendrihan. Good to know.

Welcome to SRP, dunl.
You've got some sound advice so far. Alberta is pretty dry as far as shaving supplies go, especially Edmonton. I heard a couple members had some great luck recently in Lethbridge, though I suspect the two of them have cleaned out that antique store by now. Funny enough the only local find I've run across was at an outdoor flea market at Pigeon Lake, not far from either of us. Outside of online sales, flea markets and antique store are probably your best bet. Happy hunting.

Hey welcome to the forum from another Canuk. You could add the Classic Edge The Classic Edge Shaving Store Your Straight Razor Specialists. who is also a sponsor here to your list of Canadian on line stores. I have dealt with them and have had good service. It is pretty dry around me too as far as finding straight razors and other supplies too. Finding shave creams is not too hard if you look at Shoppers Drug Mart (Proraso), Zellers (Nivea), Safeways (Kaloderma) and the Body Shop (Mecca Root) to mention a couple. Have fun and enjoy your new adventure.
Bob
