Thread: Hello, from Victoria BC

So I have been shaving with a dinky little shavette since i was 18. This was fine for a poor student but now I am starting to get into shaving properly. Part of my current job is selling all manner of shaving supplies, including straight razors, and since I am around it all day it is easy to keep it in mind. So far I have picked up 2 vintage razors, the first a 'Wade and Butcher' and the second a something or other tree brand, but before my strop arrives in the mail I was wondering if there was anyone in my area who does any honing. Beyond that it is always nice to meet a fellow enthusiast and simply chew the fat for a while, as it were. Thanks for your time!

Hello matey ,

Welcome and you will find lots of helpful people here .

I'm back in Vancouver for a spell and hone my own razors ( still fairly new at it , but (in my opinion) my edges seem sharp ) . feel free to PM for more info .


Cheers,

Scott

Welcome to SRP!!

How are things out in the Vic??

Things are good out here, a little rainy and windy these days, but I will take that over snow any day. I am from Ontario originally so I have had my share of it.

where about's in Ontario?

mostly st.Catharines,with a bit of Niagara on the Lake sprinkled in for flavor. They dont get very much snow in that area anymore, there wasmuch more when I was a kid.

Welcome to SRP from another Canadian!

In your area there are a few members out on the Island, but most are in Vancouver or on the Mainland. Check the members map. Let us know how your razors shave once you get them dialled in.
