First of all, Hi to everyone!

Well... After a little research I have purchased my first straight razor and strop although i think i need to get my nice new razor professionally honed!

Its a Dovo 5/8, just a basic one. Out of the packet it was sharp although it wouldn't cut through hair at all, i have since ran it over the strop and now it will cut... just... with a lot of pulling.

So from what i have read on the forums even though most new razors come "shave ready" they aren't really and require professional honing.

If anyone knows where i can take it to get honed in perth it would be greatly appreciated, and if not in Perth maybe somewhere i can post it to get honed in Australia.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Chris
