I am wondering if there's anyone from my town, and if they found stores that carry anything worth while.

What I've found so far:

Walmart: Wilkinson Sword blue tub soap, Williams soap, Wilkinson Sword brush

Pharmaprix (Hull/Gatineau side): Omega brushes, Proraso soaps and creams, they had Wilkinson Sword blades for $5+ for 5 blades, but they don't appear to have those anymore, at least for now.

One shaving and such store in St-Laurent shopping center, where all items I saw were easily double/triple the prices that we see online. Very low selection of brushes and a few razors... I saw the prices and walked out without bothering to note the brands and models.

One smaller but similar store at the Galeries de Hull... only 1-2 razors and brushes. Same at Promenade de l'Outaouais in Gatineau. Just ridiculous prices, for example: stands (the metal wire type) for $100+


We don't appear to have many, if any antique stores... I've yet to think of one... will have to check.

Hi there! There are a few of us on the board from Ottawa.

Best to look at the shopping wiki

http://wiki.badgerandblade.com/Ontario_Shopping_and_Suppliers

From the Botega, to the barber supply on Bank street, to the Istanbul food market on Carling there are some real gems to shop at! We can find Trumpers, Arko, Booster, Clubman, and many others right here in town! Don't get me started on the great Ontario Internet shops as well (such as fendrihan and Itallian Barber)!

You don't have to go too far, just have to know where to look! :)

Thanks... this site is so big that I'd never find these things 'cause, I never know where to start...

And now I know where the stores are.
