Thread: Looking for a Honing Service In Montreal, Canada.

Hi I am wondering if anyone on this board can suggest a good honing service in the Montreal area up here in Canada. I only have finishing hones but may need someone who specializes in honing straight razors. I have already gone to my local Centre du Razoir near by and it would take them some 4 to 6 weeks before I get my straight razor back since they would need to send it to Toronto. So if there is anyone who lives in the Montreal area and know a good honer could you please let me know.
Thank You.

Classic Edge in the Toronto area has about a 3 week turnaround.

Try http://esqboutique.com/category/products/ he is in Montreal, in fact he in on the forum his name is Badgister he can probably help you.

Thanks guys just got back from downtown and one of the local grooming and cigar places called Vasco Cigars gave me a referral to Le Specialiste de L'Aiguisage that hone straight razors for their clients. They have a website so any of my fellow straight razor shavers who are looking for a honer may give him a call Accueil - Le spécialiste de l'aiguisage

Giorgio, did you get your razor sharpened there after all? I just met a fellow who gave me his new dovo razor to sharpen. He followed Vasco's advice and took it to Le spécialiste de l'aiguisage. The razor was duller than how they come out of the box and had a big frown. The gentlemen told me that the razor was sharpened in front of him by the Knife grinder using a belt sander! I spent close to an hour to correct the damage.

I am not trying to toot my own horn, but I just simply want beginners to avoid the mistake of taking their razor to knife sharpeners who simply do not know how to sharpen a straight razor.
