Need to get a razor honed. Where to go North Dallas area

**jnygard04** · 01-21-2015, 11:16 PM

I saw a thread on here regarding the same question from quite a few years ago so I thought I would pose it again. I am new to straight razors and just bought one lightly used but it needs to be honed and I cannot fins anyone or place in the DFW area that provides this service. Any advice on where I should take it or send it? Thanks for any advice!

Look in the member services section of the Classifieds.

Also, check out the Get Togethers and Meetings section as there is going to be a north Texas meetup on the weekend of Feb 14/15. This will be your best opportunity to get a crash course in honing.

Check out Straight Razor Designs, Gemstar Customs, or anyone, as Utopian mentions in the classifieds here under services, and you'll get a great edge for $30 or less.

You can come see me, I am north of Paris, TX about 20 miles just over the river/line. I am also going to attempt to make that meet mentioned again too.

So I am in no way a Mentor is the class of many of the members here - who's generous support has helped me master and enjoy this skill.

But I'm thankful that jnygard04 lives and works just a few minutes away and I could be of some small help.
We were able to connect so I could pick up his razor and I could give him a couple of razors to try and a lump of Cella Sapone to try out.

And last night we were able to connect, spend a little time with background and questions and get Joe his razor back.
He is making great progress on his own - like myself and I think many of us, learning how little pressure it takes to strop is all part of the learning curve.
