    Default Free honing until the end of the summer

    I’ve been thinking of doing this for a while and now that I have a little more free time on my hands and to celebrate getting some new stones, I can finally give back to the forum. I am offering free honing or touch up services to new members or for members who just want to see what a different hone person can do with their razor. I am not sure how much response I will get, so I’m going to say I will do 5 per week.
    Qualifications: No restoration work, ebay specials, chipped blades, or the like (ie the blade should not be so dull as to not cut anything); limited to one blade per person. And finally, I ask that feedback be posted in this thread or pm’d; good or bad.
    What you need to do: Email me at [email protected], if the que is not full, I will send you my address, and after you ship the razor paypal me the shipping cost plus a dollar to cover expenses along with a your address and a note describing your razor. I will return the razor in the same method as it arrived. OFFER AVAILABLE ONLY IN USA. I’m sorry, but standing in the long lines is not fun.

    New week, new slots. Plus some good news. I'm opening up 5 more slots this week, with the view of doing unlimited slots in the future.

    Also, tips are absolutely unnecessary, however, I will hone extra razors at the going rate.

    Hey I'll take you up on this offer I just bought my first straight razor off craigs list. labeled as stored never used in mint condition. I got it but have no stone, or strop yet birthday is coming up in august and I'm going to allow my girlfriend to an idea of something she can get me *strop, cough* and shaving stuff.

    I will admit, i did an alcohol swab on it, and shaved the back of my right hand with it, did great! (except the fact that I have on shaved hand for no reason..) I tried my sideburns, and i'm not man enough to try going against the grain til I get this thing pro shape

    it's a solinger, excellent condition.

    Feels kind of weird bumping a free honing thread, but...

    Oh, and I'm lifting the limit on how many razors I will take in a week.
