Thread: New shaver

Hello everyone,

I'm a new straight razor shaver with an undated, 2 3/4", 1/2 hollow ground Lansky razor. It arrived sharpened but unhoned and while I have a decent 800/1000 stone, it doesn't get quite the edge I need for shaving. I tried it for the first time this morning and it did the job, but not quite to the level I desired. I've done some research and practiced with my three finger, 30 degree hold so now all I need is to either find a company or someone to hone my blade for me or find a decent(inexpensive) stone to hone my razor on. I'm looking into barber's hones and checking a few local shops but does anyone know of a reputable company I could send my blade to for professional honing?

Thanks in advance and happy shaving!
Paul
