    Default Ottawa/Montreal area honers?

    Howdy all!

    I'm new to straight razor shaving having bought a Dovo, as well as Lynn Abrams DVD.

    I think I'm having some trouble getting my razor as sharp as needed and was wondering if there are any honers in the Ottawa or Montreal areas that might take a few minutes with me to help get my blade shaving-sharp.

    FYI, I have a double-sized paddle strop (leather but no padding underneath) and a synthetic 8000 grit ceramic hone. One side of the strop is bare, the other has a bit of 0.5micron blade honing compound rubbed in. (all those supplies are from Lee Valley tools)

    Thanks!

    Sorry, I'm just a newb as well - I'm in the hone collecting phase right now though. Talk to me in about six months, and hopefully I'll be able to help a bit!

    Hi

    I'm in Toronto, if that's of any help. If you don't find anyone locally, I've honed quite a few razors for members of various groups. All I ask is that you pay the shipping back and forth.

    P.S. if you email me place "razor" in the subject heading so my spam killer lets your email through.

    I have a blue belgian and yellow coticule and have so far honed my razors to what I like. Both have been brand new mind you, one honed by lynn then the second was just off the shelf and honed by me. I can give it a shot for you if you don't want to pay shipping to TO.

    Hey Erik!

    I'm in Ottawa this weekend until Sunday. If you're around and have a moment, I'd love to take you up on that offer!

    Regards,
    Chris
