okay folks - I've got my first straight razor coming in the mail this week - I can hardly wait to start this journey with straight razor shaving - first problem is though that I'm gonna have to take it somewhere to have it honed and get it truly shave ready. Yes I could go ahead and get my own hone and strop but I'd rather work with this first one for a while until I start to get the hang of it a little better.

Does anyone here know of anybody in the Atlanta area (preferably north of Atlanta) that I might speak to about this?

Any help is much appreciated.
