Welcome Mike!
Are you anywhere near notre dame ? I was there a few weeks ago for rodeo du camion with my son, great time!
Let us know if you need anything, and if you need honing Maxi in Toronto is your closest guy.

@epd: im not up that far, im just on the nort-shore of montreal, about 20 minutes, i have never heard of rodeo du camion before, maybe i should go see this next year.

Welcome aboard Mike!

ok, i just got my new dovo today from centre du rasoir, they told me its shave ready, how do i know if it is? Maybe i should just try it? I have a basic kit, pics are coming soon.

I'm not from Canada, but Hi anyway!

Welcome to SRP! One must shave with a razor to know if it is shave ready. Alternatively, ask some of your friendly fellow Canadians what their experiences are with this centre du rasoir - someone may know if their honing is up to scratch. Do you know how to strop?

James.

Yeah, wait for someone to chime in.. DOVO razors are typically advertised as "shave ready" but they rarely are. Good shavers when they take an edge, though.
