I've got razors from Germany, USA, and England. Hoping to find a home team razor.

Never heard of a Canadian razor manufacturer. Actually I'm told there is only one blade (knife) manufacturer in all of Canada-Grohmann, in Nova Scotia.

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!

Bob thanks for that link there's some fantastic gear in that Field & Stream Magazine, I especially like that Loveless knife in the lineup, plus the best gear review.

I'm not a knife aficionado but do recall the name Loveless and that wonderful classic drop point design from my misspent youth. I think it is one of those if it looks right it is right things.
