Kent of Inglewood

When you walk through the doors of Kent of Inglewood, you may feel like you’ve stepped back in time. From the classic antiques scattered throughout the store to the impressive antlers hanging on the walls, the space is designed to exude a very special atmosphere. At its core, the store is all about bringing shaving back to the basics, offering customers high-performance straight razors and the best shaving supplies available. Armed with these tools and a little bit of guidance, the owners of Kent of Inglewood believe you can take charge of your own look.

“Kent of Inglewood started almost by accident,” says Kristopher Armitage, manager of the Edmonton location. “We grew out of a company called Knifewear in Calgary, which sells high-performance Japanese kitchen knives. Our customers started asking about straight razors, so we brought some in. It really took off and we expanded from there.”
