I got a couple from Lynn, and my honing improved overnight, because I knew what a really well-honed one should feel, and most importantly, shave like.
Joe is preaching the truth...you will not know what sharp is until you get a razor honed by Lynn. As mentioned Joe also can do it and I have heard he can put a real mean edge on a razor as well...or if you want to by a new razor John Crowleys come super sharp as well.

I dont hone yet (soon honest) but all my razors have either been honed by Lynn, Bill, or John Crowley and I know what sharp is...ortherwise I would honestly be clueless.
