Do you hone razors, bjørn? -Send en pm om du gjør
BTW, where in Norway do you live?

Shipping is quite expensive, so if there are no one in scandinavia that hone razors, I guess I will have to try fixing it myself.

I hone my own razors, PM on the way.

I'm located 2 hours north of Oslo

appears to me to be a razor honed with the straight up and down flat on a 3" hone method to me. Has taken all the smile out of the blade. Pass it to a honemeister for a proper hone and to get that smile back.

PuFF

Thanks everybody for your advice, it has been very helpful

I think I will wait for my new hone, and try a bit myself to see what happens.
If not, I will send it to a honemeister...

Now I have gotten some new hones, and to my pleasure this razor is now really sharp. The sharpest razor I have at the time.
For me, the stropping and use of chromium oxide really makes the difference!

And today, after not shaving for 5 days, I cut myself quite badly. The razor just melted into my skin...
Apart from that, it was my greatest shave ever...
