I had emailed back and forth with Joe for a bit regarding some honing on some of my best shavers. I built up my courage, packed all my razors into a box and mailed them off into the Abyss, hoping they would be returned in a better than new condition.

Joe let me know that the razors had arrived ok, and I was expecting to hear from him regarding paying the bill and such.

Well, well, well. While I was out picking up dinner, Joe had called my house. I arrived to find my wife, packing her bags. "I'm leaving you. Your friend Joe called. He's such a polite man and that accent! Plus, he was a police officer or something, so he's got a uniform. I'm sorry, but a guy in uniform with an accent. I'll see you later."

I managed to talk her in to staying, but it's a thin line. I picked up my razors on the weekend and all are in good condition. They've all been well taken care of, honed and even cleaned! My celebration shave upon their return was with the antique Ivory Meat Chopper, with the small antique Ivory razor used for touch-ups.

All in all, I'm very happy with both the level of service and the quality of service. If you're looking for a good honin' dont' hesitate to get in touch with Joe. Just don't let him talk to any of the ladies in your life!
