Howdy all! I found this thread on the googles and thought I should join!

Mate I have also had experience with Mr Shaver - not positive. I walked in with every intention to purchase a Dovo Bismarck for which he wanted $<astronomical> but 'would do me a deal'.

I then bought said razor from mensbiz for a little over half that price. I don't expect bricks and mortar to compete with online, but I don't expect to get gipped for trying to help them out either.

As for your original question: I spoke to the barber in Trinity arcade this morning, he said he can hone my razor and also suggested that I bring my strop in so he can give me some pointers. A very different attitude to old mate down the road. Alternatively there is a barber in Freo that has been there for 80 odd years. 5 chairs barbers? 6 chairs barbers? Something like that.

Apologies for the first post mini-rant, but it was needed!
