Thanked: 0The search for a honer nearby Enschede or Haarlem (The Netherlands)
Hi everyone!
I just started out with my straight razor and I think I made a booboo :P I bought my razor (Mühle 5/8 Round-point) from manandshaving.nl where they said it would be shave ready.
3 shaves in I have a lot of resistance going against the grain even thought I tried my best getting a good foamy and wet lather and doing a bit of stropping before and after every shave. Somewhere along the line, my razor might have become a bit dull.
Just to be sure(as I have absolutly no point of reference I can base my opinion on) I would like to get it checked by someone and if possible stand next to the person so I can see what is happening to learn from it.
So, without further ado: I am looking for a member who can help me with my razor to see if it is dull and if so help hone it. I do not have any stones or experience honing.
The reward is a sixpack or a good bottle of wine (or something else if you don't prefer alcohol) or a bit of money if you don't want to do it for free. I live in Enschede
and I travel to Haarlem sometimes in the weekend. If anyone lives nearby (~20km radius) and is able/wants to help me, give me a heads-up!
Thanks!
