I looked for an answer to this question but could not find one and apologize for the new post.

If you buy a razor from classicshaving are you able to pay an addiitonal $20 to have it honed and shave ready prior to shipping or do you have to wait to receive the razor and then immediately ship it back for honing services?

Also, what is the difference between a Norton and Thuringen stone? Or are they both good and it is a matter of preference?

Thanks in advance.
