About
Crale’s Guide is an independent guide to Canadian shaving goods, with an emphasis on double-edge shaving, specialist makers, small-batch soaps and creams, and well-made razors and brushes.
Mr. Crale keeps the Guide, along with careful notes on shaving goods, their makers, and the Canadian shops that carry them.
Makers and Stockists
Makers produce the goods. Stockists are the Canadian shops that carry them, often alongside imported products. Resources brings together the Guide’s introductions, reference sites, communities and interviews.
Made in Canada
The Guide uses makers’ own descriptions of where their products are made. Canadian ownership is recorded separately: a Canadian company may sell goods made elsewhere. Known imported components and unclear manufacturing details are noted where they matter.
Shipping
Entries give Canadian free-shipping thresholds, required codes and useful local offers. Prices and thresholds are in Canadian dollars unless noted otherwise. Detail pages include important exclusions and charges below the threshold.
Sources
Information comes primarily from makers and stockists themselves.
Updates and corrections
Products, stockists and shipping terms change.
