I don't mind Rogier. However, you've been shaving with a straight for a while know, isn't it time to do your own honing now ?
Come on, you're with the big boys now !!

I believe Dimitry from this forum hones knives as well. http://straightrazorpalace.com/members/dimitry.html

I live in Liège (work in Brussels) and hone all my own razors on coticules. Jens currently has an MK30 that I swapped him.
If you need anything doing don't hestitate - oh and if you need some pointers on coticules I can help too.

You can get you razor honed perfectly in de Messenwinkel in Antwerp. They do it right than and there (unless it is really busy) and it costs you nothing. You do need to go to the shop.

I know they hone razors, I just lost a bit of confidence in them when I heard that according to them new Dovo razors don't need to be honed.

I have a dovo and they honed it a few times. I never really got bad avice from them. (and believe me if I say i asked waaaay to much)

I must say that out experience i must say that if you soap-in correctly , use your razor correctly and take care of it you need to hone like once in 6 years.
