Thread: 5 razors which do I choose to use?

Wow!

So much for waiting a couple days for a response! Sound like I need to talk to the local guy see what he knows/does and then search for a honemeister off of here. I just read the rave reviews about MAX's work.

Have to decide between the imp and the wade and butcher.

Hey, it will be worth your while to send it to one of the guys... send them a PM asking what they charge for honing nobody really charges more than 20, and you will have the best edge money can buy. I don't know what the local guy does, but it's not worth the risk of having the guy talk you into letting him wreck your razor. Can't go wrong with Max, or with Glen, or dare I say....Lynn. (note, there are plenty of other great honemeisters that I have not mentioned).

oh, you want my reasoning
the imp is stiff grind and they are far more consistent than the w&b's, so it's much safer bet for a great first razor. and the blade looks in excellent condition - that brown stuff at the edge should just wipe off.

He makes a very strong point.... no pun intended
