Thread: Importance of a honemeister

I've experienced the same thing you have, although, not from the vendor you bought yours from. It is very frustrating! If you inquire about what happened (or didn't happen), usually you will get, "Send it back and I'll hone it (again or rehone??)". I don't want to go that, repackaging and mailing it out, and waiting another 3 weeks +. I just want what I payed for in the first place. and, of course, if you're a newbee (and you're not), your credability is in question: What did he do to it? The first one is poor stropping, of course. Then poor shaving technique, poor lathering, etc...

Sorry this happened. I don't buy blades that much anymore, but when and if I do, I'll hone them up myself. I have bought a few from members here that were supposed to have been "shave ready", although, IMO, the edges were not up to my standards.

In this case, you paid for the service and didn't get it.

You need to contact the vendor. Maybe it was an honest mistake. - of course you did rehone it. No sense sending it back now. I guess this will have to be one of those "live and learn" kind of deals, but you should let your vendor know what happened, so maybe it wont happen to someone else in the future.
