Welcome to Ottawa and SRP! I am frequently in Ottawa for family and business. Do not hesitate to ask for suggestions and advice with regards to straights or the city.
I thought I might share a little anecdote. When I was a student at Ottawa U and first started using a straight, I would get my hair cut at Joe & Pina on Sparks street, I am not sure if they are still in business.
Joe and his Brother are experienced italian barbers and they used real straight razors, strop and all, not shavettes. They both found it odd and amusing that I used a straight and Joe showed me how to hone my razor on a barber hone. Interestingly, they mentioned that they themselves shave with disposable cartridge razors at home.
