Thread: Are some sites better at honing?

I'm considering purchasing my first straight razor from an online vendor, and the best package I've found is on Vintage Blades LLC and they of course ofter honing. Have you guys discovered one site is better at honing than another? I'm also conscidering purchasing from ClassingShaving.com or StraightRazorDesigns.

Who does the best pre-sharpening? Or should I forgo that and send it to Lynn?

Also, I've read that with a Carbon Steel blade, after I shave with it, I should oil it to keep it from rusting... can that oil be found in brick and mortor stores? Or is there a site that sells specific straight razor blade oil?


--Thanks everyone for their answers. Lynn has confirmed he hones for all three sites, so I will get a Lynn honed razor in any way I go.--
