Thread: Honing In Calgary Alberta

I am wondering if there is anybody or place that sharpens straight razors in Calgary Alberta. Could somebody please let me know? Thanks

Rasage Poulin Fine Shaving and Grooming Products: Calgary, Alberta, Canada is in Calgary, if they don't offer honing they may know who does

Send a PM to sebell, he's based (mostly) in Calgary and has honed for a few members. In fact Scott, the proprietor of Rasage Poulin, uses his services if I'm not mistaken (Rasage Poulin does not offer honing services, at least not at this time).

Good luck,

Ryan

Hi Fellas

Sebell told me he's too busy to hone for hire, so I have auditioned another local fella who is around the forums and have been pleased with his hones. I gave him two razors to hone, which were both very different (one was historic steel 6/8 Grelot in pretty bad shape and one was carbonsong C135 5/8 in better shape) I am satisfied with the work done and will be accepting razors dropped off with me to be picked up by him, honed and returned to me for pick up.

If you have questions for him directly, you can email him at [email protected]

If you want to arrange to drop off a razor, email me at [email protected]

I'm posting this as a PSA only since sebell told me he was too busy to hone for hire. I'm not posting this as an unsolicited advertisement.... I hope this post doesn't violate any TOU.

Scott,

Thanks for the clarification and for the update.

Be well,

Ryan

I had a razor done by Sebell and it was fantastic. I'd surely take Scott's word on a honemeister.

Does anyone have any info on anyone currently offering honing services in the Calgary area? I guess scott ended up closing down.

New to straight shaving and need a proper hone. Thanks in advance!

Edit: I contacted Knifewear here in Calgary, and they offer honing services and a nice selection of straight razor products. I'll report back with the results for any Calgary folks. Cheers..

They are great. They have another sale on this week too.

Ask Nathan about the new kamisori he has found... Amazing stuff.

They have stones too, including some jnats.
