Recommendations for professional honing in Aus.?

I have a Blue Wonder 7/8" with a small chip in the blade (for more info, see http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...der-7-8-a.html), which I would like to get repaired.

Besides being a nice razor, it also has sentimental value to me because it is a family heirloom. Therefore, I would like to find someone suitably experienced to repair it.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Take a look at the member services in the classifieds: Member Services - Straight Razor Place Classifieds

Thanks :)

I feel silly for not finding that section earlier :o

Many guys can do the work, but with it being a family piece, having a pro do it makes alot of sense. Best of luck. I suspect you'll be glad you gave it that care.

Talk to Legion or onimaru55. I know Oz lives on the North Shore in Sydney, not sure about Legion (David). Either of these guys would be great. Have a talk to both and pick the one you feel most comfortable with. They are both good guys and are easy to talk too and very helpfull if you have any questions.

Thanks for the recommendations. It's on its way to Oz as I type this... :)

You can't go wrong then. Oz is a top bloke and I would suggest him to you whole-heartedly.

Cheers Mick :)

Yer welcome mate. You won't regret your decision. His skill is almost magical...Or perhaps he just has some kind of miracle strop that does all the magical stuff to his finished edges...Who knows...;)

LOL... I thought of Mandrake the Magician but prolly more like Luigi the Unbelievable . :roflmao

;) Well, now don't sell yourself short there Oz...But I suppose we don't want to have people getting unobtainably high expectations of your skills either. That would mean you would have to find a way to improve. And magical strops not withstanding, that's still going to be a hard thing to do, unless you go out and bag-snatch Tinkerbell's fairy dust to give you an extra light touch above your usual levels...Hmmm, I'm sure I had her address around here somewhere....

This one came up rather well.

Hattori Hanzō himself could not have done a better job ;)

Hanzō was reputed to be able to hone a razor with his feet earning himself the nickname Lookma no Hanzō :p
