I'm reluctant to throw good money after bad... My honemeister is a relatively unknown who's most important qualification was his physical proximity. I'm kind of reluctant to ship cross-border (even though shipping to the US is cheaper than shipping within Canada) as I've had customs and canada post take upwards of a month to get something to me.
I'll give a more reputable honmeister a try though, regardless of cost. I fully intend to begin honing my own razors and I would really like a good benchmark to work towards.
Thanks guys.
