I'm in Canada, but I have a US shipping address.
Spend an hour alone shaving and forget about the world.

If you're in Canada, order from here The Classic Edge Shaving Store Your Straight Razor Specialists.. Anything that they have is good, not just Dovos.

They got some pretty nice stuff. High mark up from the US sites though. Just as easy for me to cross the border to save 100$, but thanks cause it gave me some perspective. Originally Posted by kwlfca

Hey Lendo, I live in Orlando Florida and I have ordered almost everything from classicedge.ca or made it myself. I actually found classic edge to be cheaper and be in stock. Plus when they say shave ready they freaking mean it. But so does straight razor designs and vintage blades llc because Lynn (the founder of this site and pretty much the authority in honing atleast in my book hones all the razors that come from those sites). Both the Dovos your thinking about are razors that I will be buying next. +1 to the buying a razor from the classifieds here. If you buy a cheapo back up that is of good quality you can practice stropping and when it comes time to hone practice with the cheaper razor so that you don't ruin a $300 dollar razor with poor technique. Also for a strop you can make your own if you have a leather shop near you. Heres a link to the one I made and it is an awesome strop as far as results go even though it doesn't look pretty yet it will soon.

It ends up being even for me, shipping from SRD is $30 to Ontario, Canada whereas shipping from Classic Edge is about $5. For my day to day orders (meaning smaller orders for a couple new soaps or creams), I use fendrihan. They are in Ontario as well, free shipping over $50. Fast shipping too

Everything I order in the US is usually free shipping. I live in a border town and cross quite often. I've got a US address for shipping purposes, so in the end it only cost 6$ for bridge tolls and 4$ for storage until I pick it up.

I'll back that up - I've ordered all my stuff, except for occasional e-bay and yard sale, from Classic Edge and they are a fantastic shop. Phil and Jane are super people, Phil hones and makes razors shave ready, is truly a master. Originally Posted by kwlfca

They also have several excellent starter kits - I got my first kit from there, a 5/8 DOVO and necessary kit to accompany!
