Need Honing
I must admit, being new to razors I am at a loss as to know who to send my blades to be honed. I have been using an old Boker that I am using as my beater, honing frequently, checking results, adjusting; it's my learning axe.
I just bought two nice razors, a Fili and a Heljestrand. I want to send one or both out to a seasoned honer so I can compare with my own edges, see how much further I have to go. Also, one of the blades (Filarmonica #13) I am not too sure about the condition or the scales, pins, etc, because the person who described it obviously wasn't a straight razor shaver. So I'm looking for someone who can put a "helluvanedge" on one or both razors for not a whole lot of bread, possibly clean up, restore (maybe rescale? how much does that even cost?) Any pointers? The razors should be arriving in a few days...
cheers,
