I don't know of one in Winnipeg. The barber I used to go to in Toronto did them. I used to treat myself to one such shave every month or two. I recommend you try it at least once.

That is why I am looking. Found one that does a hot shave, but no straight razor. Pfft, it's just not the same.

There's a salon on Sargent Avenue that advertises straight razor shaves. Also, I think Jeffrey's Barbershop on Maryland might offer them too.

yup they are certainly supposed to.. or at least were supposed to a one time because of concerns of HIV, Hep B etc

disposable straight razors are what it was no idea if they got that overturned.

Disposable straight razor? Seriously? Can't they just disinfect the tools?

Rocky, my barber, uses newish 'straight razor' that is plastic and where the blades are changed.

I think one would be hard pressed to find an original long blade razor now days.

Yup...In boiling water is the easiest for those of us that are old school...and you can also use steam etc...and then good old rubbing alcohol to finish up...Been done for many yrs already and that process is pretty close to the method manufacturers use in commercial aps...and yes used by the guy in St B and with old fashion straight razor blades...and on a different subject matter...The question is being raised this week about the MB Health Care recycling by re sterilizing surgical equipment etc this past week...GGF

So, if you survive, please give us your review....

(this is a shave I've always wanted to try, but I've never seen or known anyone who does it or has had it done in the city by a barber for decades!)

Will do. Will post the results after wards and where we went. Won't be for a few weeks though. Thought it would be nice to get a decent shave before the wedding.

What is the benefit of a straight razor shave?

The cool factor obviously!
Seriously though, something I have never had, so interested to try. Supposed to be a really nice shave. Will know for sure after the fact though.

Feels real good for those of us who have had one...The irony is that they started making, twin, triple blades razors and so on...

But if you ever get a straight razor "hot shave" from an old guy having done it for years...It's "the best shave" you will ever have bar none...

Unfortunately it is a dying trade in Canada and the guy I talked about on other posts from Provencher Blvd also does haircuts to also help him keep himself going...GGF

Benefit? Can't rightly think of one other than it feels really good.
