    I completely agree. There is nothing like kicking the tires before buying. Hopefully the Montréal market will grow significantly and a dedicated store might pop up someday. In the mean time, like Cangooner said, there's Vasco downtown, but I find their selection to be limited compared to online shops. There's also a Japanese knife shop, L'Émouleur, in the Mile-End on Laurier, I think they sell kamisori razors and offer a straight razor sharpening service (I can't really comment further, I never tried them).

    Cheers.

    We should surely organize a meeting in the near future.
    I'm definitely in for a Montreal meeting.

    Cheers.

    I would trust the member service for sharpening service.
    IS there any member from montreal do some restoration?

    Your king cutter looks pretty clean. I would just reset the bevel and hone it, gently polish a few rusty spots et c'est tout.
    I could do it if you like.

    Montreal is growing in straight shavers and that's great!

    Boker are among my favorites. This one is definitively a keeper by all means!

    +1 for a Monreal meeting
