From Montreal many years ago.... Sorry, I was still using Sensor Excels last time I live there, can't help you!

Greetings fabchef...I am a displaced Texan, in exile in the Atlanta, Georgia area.

I have been to Montreal a few times over the last 2 years. The last time was in February of this year...coming up for wok with a company based in Anjou.

Love downtown Montreal, too!

Can't help with the straights...good luck, though.

Spent some time camping in Quebec (Parc Provincial) and a bed and breakfast in Old Quebec City and I have family ties to Quebec. Can't help you with a straight razor as I use a Merkur HD. Vive le Quebec!

Tabernouche! I thought Drummondville was the home of the poutine. At least, it was the first place I saw it some 30 years ago. Ex-Montrealer(South shore).

well if anyone is willing to train this young pup at handling a straight blade, let me know it would be much appreciated..take care

I'm in Vermont just north (just over the river in Winooski) in Burlington. We go to Montreal quite often, one of my favorite cities - I love Vermont, but being from New York City originally I need to go to a city periodically. Can't help you with the straight, just starting it myself. And speaking of Montreal, another trip to Au Pied de Cochon is FAR overdue on my end.

No... No... No...

Sherbrooke is where Poutine was invented...

I was in Montreal a few years ago, lived there for almost 10 years... I should come back eventually but not just yet... There are a few straight shaver in Montreal yes... There's Floppyshoes if you need someone to hone your straights...

Im in South Carolina.

I would try straight shaving. I am crossing over from DE, and I really enjoy the challenge.

I was all over Montreal and area for 2 years. One of my favourite places in the world! I love the french there too!
