Just got my black king and my W&B back from Joe today and thought I'd report in. I was one of the first customers to avail myself of his new honing services and to contribute to his new knife grinder fund from what I can tell

I haven't shaved with them yet but I can say that I already can see Joe went above and beyond the call. He reblued the tang on the black king (with my permission) and buffed out the scales to a nice glossy sheen. The tarnish spots are gone from the W&B blade as well. The razors went out looking ok, and they came back looking incredible. The black king particularly amazed me, it was a $30 eBay buy and it looked unremarkable until Joe touched it up. Now it looks really good!

I also got my new 10x loupe today so I took a look at the edge and bevel. It looked almost machine ground it was so even, and I saw no imperfections, although I'm not an expert by any means. I'm going to shave with one of them tonight before bed and I'll make sure to give an update on how well it shaves but right now I'm expecting the blades to simply scare the whiskers off my face.

Thanks, Joe!
