    Default Razor sharpening in NSW Australia

    Hi all
    Just wondering if anyone can tell me were to get my razor properly sharpened ?
    I have tried stropping it many times and unless I am doing it wrong it still feels very blunt and
    very uncomfortable when shaving

    Thanks

    SRP's very own Onimaru55 is your man. I can highly recommend him having had a few of my razors honed by him.
    In fact I am going to send him another one soon! Any discount for referrals Oz?

    He's in Sydney, but contact him here via PM and he will give you all the details.

    Nothing to add here, but that if the opportunity presents itself, I'd get as much time w/ Onimaru as I could. He's done his time, made his mistakes, and has acquired a very high level of skill in restoration. In correspondence w/ So Yamashita of Japan-tool, So said Oni was the best he'd seen on the stones. This may not make sense right now - but it means he's a guy that most of us could learn alot from.

    Ditto all the above replies. You'll find none better than our own Oz.
