Do you know anywhere in the UK that does professional honing. I don't mind about the cost as long as it's done properly.

So far not found anywhere! Pea and Nerobot were talking about starting a UK 'Where can I thread...?' as we a thin on the ground and I think a sticky would be a good idea.
My main straight is with Lynn as we speak and I have more or less dedided to dive in with a norton and try hone the Crown using the Lynn sharpened blade as an unachieveable reference.
LX_Emergency says the steel is very hard on the Crowns so if I fail I'll be asking one of these nice gentlemen on here to accept my offer of dollars, euros etc and get it nice and sharp...I think I have pestered Lynn enough.
However there are quite a few experienced UK members you could try? You never know!
You should try to hone it. You are going to need to do it in the future so jump in and give it a try. Some razors are just more difficult than others. I have a Filarmonica that I can't get right no matter what I do yet the other day I got my 6/8 Puma hair splitting sharp in no time. Go figure. :gth
tony miller has all his blades honed by LX_emerency (here on this board) before he sells them. LX_emergency lives in Europe.. holland maybe? that close enough for ya?
drop him a PM.
