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.
Simple solution if you have a problem with using the word pro.

Anyone who derives some income/supplements their income from honing razors for others on more than just an occasional basis. It does not have to be a sole source of income. There are many examples on this forum of members who do this and are recommended as people to send razors to for a pro honing. I think most get the idea of what professional means in relation to a person honing razors. It is a matter of money received for services rendered and likely at a far greater volume of work compared to those who hone for themselves.
