Thread: Any honemeisters in Australia?

Hello,

I bought my first two straight razors this week and I want to get them honed by someone who has the right equipment and knows what they're doing. (haha I just typed "first two" without realizing it. RAD already?)

One is apparently German made and the other is English:

I'm eventually going to get a couple stones and learn to do it myself. The 12k chinese waterstones look pretty sweet so I might order one of them soon.

Are there any honemeisters here in Australia? I'm up north in Townsville.

I'm no honemeister, but I can hone those for you (if you pay postage). Alternatively, if you want something more local, I think Greg Frazer hones for people too and he's based in Gladstone.
