Any guys from Belgium where I can send my razor to get it honed again? I would also love to learn how to do so myself, so if anyone wants to share his knowledge and experience, that would be great!
Oh and I know about the coticule vault honing service, but I think it's absurd to send my razor to the UK or Greece to get it honed on Belgian stone...
There might be some of the Belgian members that can help you, and maybe give you some tutoring.
If not I do believe 1Barber offers honing service.
If all this fails, and you're willing to send them to Norway, shoot me a PM.
Isn't Bart from coticule.be in Belgium?
He hones for free.

There are two or three Belgian guys who also do the one-time coticule honing thing through coticule.be. You should have no problem.
I live in belgium and hone on a coticule
as for the coticule honing service there are currently only 3 people available 1 in greece, 1 in the uk and 1 in the us.
where do you live maybe we can meet up and I can hone a razor for you
kind regards
Stijn
Seems like I was assuming I knew more than I do, sorry.
Anyway, Stijn puts a nice edge on a razor, so I hope you guys can figure it out.
Hi Stijn, sorry for the late answer, I'm currently travelling. I'll send you a PM so we can work out the details.Quote:

I'm from G(h)ent, so Duffel is quite far away (unless you have to be in the area of Ghent sometimes), but thanks alot for the offer!
Hi Master, I'm from Ghent too. I don't hone however... Reminds me, I really should send that Globusmen back to Wim, because I stropped the edge away.:HJQuote:

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 ?Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
