Hi,
I'm a newbie straight razor shaver and I am still focusing on shaving. I have not gotten to the point where i want to learn about honing. So I have tried a couple different honing services. I have to say that howard schechtor at the perfect edge just did an excellent job on several razors i have purchased. some were ebay crap others were nicer razors. I found him to be reasonably priced, quick to turn around my razors. I sent him 9! and the edge is the sharpest i have ever seen. they shaved wonderfully because they were so nice and sharp.
Hope this helps,
Keoki
