Hey Everyone,
I've been shaving with my DOVO Black Star for about two months now. Its beginning to get a little dull and somewhat painful on some shaves (pulling/ tugging on the hair). I'm newer to the Straight Razor world so I am sure part of it is my poor stropping technique but I nonetheless I think it's time for her first honing. I rather not do it myself because I'm scared of ruining my nice razor so my question is... Does anyone here know of a proven honing service near the Los Angeles area and where I can find a cheaper/ good quality razor as a back up? I figure I could learn to hone on my cheaper razor once I get one rather than my nice DOVO.
Thanks!
