You can find modern TI's with Canada stampings, but I don't know of any razors actually made in Canada.
No Canadian made straight razors that I am aware of but plenty of Gillette DEs were made here. Grohman knives from Pictou Nova Scotia make very fine knives. According to a Field and Stream article on the to 20 knives ever made their Russell belt knife placed in second spot. The 20 Best Knives Ever Made | Field & Stream

This, I believe.

Reverse is marked "Huddger's Best" . The only reference to a "Huddger" in any type of Cutlery was in the Canadian trademark archive.
Fairly certain that beauty was made for the Canadian retailer in Germany by Griffon of New York. There are some threads on the Griffon Antelope here. http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...llow-16-a.html Lovely razor!
I thought the blade looked familiar. Got to agree that is a beauty of a blade design. I have to think that they imported the razor marked with their own trade mark for the Canadian market. If you look at the company description it does not say specifically that they manufacture anything they carried.

The closest I have for vintage is a Jones Bros of Montreal. They were a reseller as far as I can tell and the razors were most likely made else where and branded for them. Other than that I do have a Canadian made razor from the Bear, Perre Rodrigue, in Loydminster Sask.
While on this subject. I often wonder if Ontario Cutlery was made for the Canadian market? We know that they were made in Geneva, NY by Geneva Cutlery.
