Looking for barber supplies I'm specifically looking for wet shaving materials (straight blade, strop, badger brushes, soaps). Anybody have any recommendations?

[Knifewear](https://knifewear.com/pages/ottawa) on Bank has a small selection of razors (straight and safety), brushes, strops and software. Other then the few barbershops mentioned they probably have the best selection. You will probably need a straight razor honed before use and they do a good job there as well, I've had a couple of straights honed by them and they shave well. And as for online [Maggard](http://www.maggardrazors.com/) has a good selection of inexpensive gear to start with. Also seconding the /r/wicked_edge recommendation.

Imperial Barber has some wet shaving kits. There's one downtown (Slater street near Kent I believe) and one in the Glebe. You might also consider buying some supplies online. r/wicked_edge has lots of great advice.

I use a safety razor, so no recommendations on a straight blade or strop. But I got my razor, blades and badger brush online from Fendrihan.ca. As for soaps, I'm a big fan of the Crown Shaving line. Get my soap from The Brooke barbershop in Hintonburg.

For soaps and safety razors, check out La Bottega.

Recommendations for a newb? Hello fellow wicked_edgers!!
So I’m a complete newbie for traditional wet shaving. I have been using a brush and jack black shaving lather...

Being in Canada check out starter kits from maggardrazors.com. Also a great soap made up north is soapy bathman. Just starting out new I’d recommend a safety razor over a straight. Straights come with baggage like honing and stropping. Honing stones can get expensive very quickly. If you don’t have the equipment to hone I’ve seen people offer up that service for $20 ish.

I found that Henri et Victoria soap and post shave to be very mild and feels great with no irritation. Good technique is also important and it took me a bit of practice to find the right pattern to use while shaving. There are plenty of good videos on YouTube for this part, but all of our beards grow differently so you'll have to experiment to find what works for you.

I found that Jack Black shave cream irritated my skin. Maybe you have all items you are using are having a multiple effect? Maybe not. In any case there are a couple stores in Canada including men's essentials, italian barber (which has been getting bad press lately but I have never had a problem) and fendrihan.com. A starter kit would be a good starting point. I personally like Schick injectors, soap commander shave soap, and plisson synthetic shave brushes (ymmv).

Soaps/creams from Italian barber Looking for some recommendations for soaps and/or creams from Italian barber. I'm not too familiar with most of their products but...
CaptainTime replied:
I really enjoy the La Toja shaving cream from Italian Barber. I use the sensitive skin one. Best of the 5-6 creams I have tried so far.
arbarnes replied:
IB has a good selection of mass-market products, some of which are very good. I Colonali, Castle Forbes, and DR Harris are all worth a look. As far as artisan stuff goes, check out Catie's Bubbles, Seifenglatt, and Tiki Bar. But unless there's some compelling reason to shop at IB, you'll find a much greater selection of artisan soaps and creams at Maggard Razors. They really do have the motherlode there. My favorites include Barrister & Mann, LA Shaving Soap Co., and Mickey Lee Soapworks.

I'm fairly new to DE shaving (a few months in) but I bought a couple of RazoRock soaps from Italian Barber and love them. They lather really well, smell great, and are a great price for artisan soaps. I have the sensitive skin Neroli and the P160. The Neroli has a nice orange blossom type smell, which is quite light. The P160 is more a classic cherry marzipan, although it mostly smells like sweet cherries to me, but very nice if you like sweet smelling soaps. Both lather excellently and seem like they will last a long time. I usually face lather of that makes a difference. I'm sure all RazoRock soaps are a good bet and seem to be priced quite competitively.

I also think you'd be better served with [Maggard Razors](http://www.maggardrazors.com/). They have a much wider collection of artisans along with the usual mass-market guys. In addition to the artisans /u/arbarnes listed, I would add Strop Shoppe, WhollyKaw, Soap Commander, and Maggard's. All are fantastic performers, so just pick a scent you think you'll like.
