Thread: Any made in Canada razors

I still doubt we had any of those type of manufacturers in Canada.

I can't remember his name, but isn't there a well know custom razor maker from Quebec, a French maker?

Pierre Rodrigue? He is from Loydminster.

only the Ontario Cutlery company as noted above has any Canadian connection I had found

My bad. As Holli spoke, Ontario is for Ontario county in NY. Their razors were made by Geneva prior to 1936.
Please continue........................

Taylor Bros Cutlery Co of Hamilton Canada, 1885-1922, made razors in Canada.

Thank you much for that post Martin. Now that I know some were made here I am sure a few of us will be hunting them down now.

And a new quest begins!

Martin pulls it out of the hat again
well done
