I hesitate to use the word professional because to be a professional that would have to be your main, not part of a way you make a living. Unless you have a very low cost of living I cannot see in this day and age making honing straight razors your sole source of income. This brings up a good point although off topic...

How many people hone straight razors as their main source of income and don't depend on other sources such as,razor and related sales, their day job, spouse's income retirement income, etc.
