One of the things I love the most is the wide range of wonderful products available. However, there are so many things that are unavailable in Canada: certain aftershaves, rubs, soaps etc. There are many American websites that carry stuff but either they don't ship to Canada or they can't/won't ship alcohol based products. I have done business with Fendrihan (which was great!) but of course they don't carry everything. Any suggestions as to where to shop for some of the more classic or harder to find products? Thanks in advance.
if you ever visit montreal,,make sure to visit a place called vasco on saint catherine street. Huge collection,,,,although its a cigar shop lol
Just stopped in there when I was back home in July. Picked up some Marvis toothpaste (which I love). They have some great stuff. The cigar store here in Toronto in the Attrium on Bay has a good selection as well. I really am into the old baber shop stuff and TBSS only carries so much. Thanks for the tip. Let you know what I can find.
This is the only drawback I can find to straight razor shaving in Canada... serious lack of vendor support! I've used Fendrihan in the past for strops and such, and I usually find adequate soaps at my Shoppers Drugmart. Make my own aftershave.... Lee Valley tools seems to be a decent place to purchase hones. I have yet to confirm if they carry anything over 8,000 grit. Please keep this thread going as I need all the Canadian vendor help I can get :-)
appearantly italianbarber.com is canadian quite a selection.
The Classic Edge is Canadian as well: Straight Razor supplies by The Classic Edge Shaving Store
