Stick to the people who know, you can find them in the classifieds. There is no magic, it just feels like it.

I agree! It does feel like magic! I love to hone! I hone my own razors and I've gotten some nice compliments on my honing from others whose razors I'd honed for them or from when others have borrowed one of my razors to try. With that said; Am I on the same level as Glen, Lynn or some of the other Pros?

If this is a lost dark art then I'm the Great & Powerful Oz
I'd love to send him a couple of old wedges just for fun but the postage would cost more than the service

He'd press it to a rotating grindstone, ruin the temper, verify that it cuts paper, and bill you for it. Originally Posted by onimaru55

Seriously, I've always enjoyed your posts and knowledge! I look forward to them!!!
As far as the HHT goes, it's not a reliable 'test' as everyone's 'hair' is different! It's only a 'Guide'! If you watch the video from Dovo when they do the HHT it's with a synthetic 'Hair' this provides constancy!!
Hey 'Oz'! if you'd really like to send him some really hard to hone wedges,let me know and I'll pitch in with the shipping!

The only Dark Art I have mastered is turning alcohol into urine. And I am pretty good at that. Other than that I am just an average guy.

I think this guy is merely trying to ply a little humor as he makes ends meet; he does seem a little low on price if knows what he's doing. He actually offers up a stable of decently-priced razors through his eBay listings. I would also say that with 360 feedbacks at 100% positive he's doing ok by a few folks. Lastly, he must love straights or he wouldn't be doing this, and I figure there's a big chance he's a fellow SRP guy--and I wish him luck!

Here's one of his "promotional" videos, I can't say I'm impressed by his Dark Art skills.
