    Question Where in Toronto/GTA?

    Hey guys I've got a question for all the shavers living in the GTA. That question is where do you go for your vintage razors? What flea markets or antique shops regularly have straights for sale at decent prices? I was thinking of heading to Dr. Flea's or the farmers/flea market at Downsview but I just wanted to see your suggestions.

    Thanks guys for any advice.

    Will

    It's really hit or miss where to get that vintage razor that's not online. I hit lots of flea markets and antique shops and only find that maybe one in five places will have anything worth picking up. But always ask them if they have because sometimes they say "oh wait a minute" start digging through some random box and pull out some treasure.
    Happy hunting and keep us posted.

    I know one of the guys here scored at the St.Lawrence market a week or two ago. I'd try there.
