Please keep me in mind if you ever spot some great Canadian online shaving deals
Welcome aboard
As a note on shaving supplies, in case you were wondering:
Using the BST section of B&B is often a good bet.
Ordering from the US is also easy in most cases and ordering from European or UK vendors is a great option.
So, we are by no means limited.
On top that we have a number of local options too. Fendrihan is Canadian shaving staple that has been around as long as I can recall and then the Italian Barber is an excellent online option that has many items not available elsewhere and is also well priced.

So far I think my biggest source of shaving stuff has been amazon.ca. I like getting free shipping, and find that it usually puts me off from smaller purchases on websites like fendrihan, italianbarber, and menessentials. I bought some Arko off of a Turkish retailer on ebay, but that was the only time I ever got any shaving gear from ebay! I've never used the BST in earnest before, although I have taken a peek. Are you saying that it's easy to order off of international vendors here or in other places?

I'm saying that many US vendors will ship to Canada with no hassles and that almost all Euro/UK vendors ship to Canada. I personally tend to order mostly from the UK because I find what I am looking for there, they are well priced, and shipping is quick.
On the BST you get to buy from other people on this forum. Sometimes they prefer to only ship locally, but often they are willing to ship to Canada after adjusting the price to recognize the small increase in shipping costs.
As far as free shipping is concerned, Italian Barber has free shipping for orders over $60. After adding an aftershave to your cart, 2 soaps, a nice boar brush, some blades, and a few other knickknacks, you are bound to be at the $60 mark anyway

Tony.. your formula is inaccurate. w squared s/b cubed. I am very disappointed in you.
Hmmm. Probably 12-15 minutes, just for the shave. I certainly don't rush. But I like shaving, I don't love it, so I just do the pre-shave, build a good bowl lather, 2 careful passes and touch-up, cold rinse, alum, cold rinse, AS, balm, Coral Skin Food, all in about 15 minutes.

What ever happened to this? I was looking forward to the graph haha
I'm looking forward to the results as well. Perhaps the OP doesn't have enough data yet.
