Hi everyone. I'm just getting into wet shaving and have picked up a straight razor at a local antiques shop. I am wondering if anyone knows someone who can hone and is local to me. I'm in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada and don't mind shipping it out within Canada but I'd rather not have to deal with cross-border issues and - ideally - would really like to find someone I can actually see in person. I understand if that is not possible as well.

Thanks all and I've been enjoying the posts I've been reading. My razor is a "Crown and Sword" with ERN 1166 on one side of the handle. It's got zero pits and is fairly straight and I'm pretty sure would be capable of shaving. The scales are rough and the blade has quite a patina on it but I'm sure it can be brought back.

BTW, for any other newbie's wanting a lesson, the guy who sharpens knives and axes may not be able to sharpen a razor. That was a $7 lesson!
