    Default Galway honing and a shave

    Hello all!
    I'm in Ireland for a couple of weeks... particularly I'm staying in Galway. Anyone know of anyone who hones razors? Currently mine is in need of a bit of work. Also, are there any places you'd recommend to get a good shave here?

    Hi. There is many barbers who are offering hot towel shaves in Dublin. I've found this website WELCOME TO FAT TONY'S & GROOM , They are located in Galway , but i have no experience with them , because i'm living in Co.Kildare . Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    You are right to head west, the entire atlantic coast is magnificent but before you do pop into Dublin.

    Go for a traditional Straight Razor shave in the Waldorf Barber, 13 Westmoreland Street, Dubin 2. Open since 1929 and not much changed, still done the old fashioned way.

    Then just around the corner for the Best pint of Guinness in Dublin
    in Mulligans on Poolbeg street, Dublin 2

    Then on to for a tour of the Old Jameson distillery, sample some of Middleton very rare, IMHO the very best whiskey/whisky that has been bottled, to finish off a perfect day

    Waldorf barbers is a great place . It just like the time stopped in this place in 30's. The owner Liam is a good man. My Boker was honed by him.
    Thanks

    I actually know one of the barber's who works at Fat Tony's (at least, I know her as personally as I can through the internet. I'm in Ohio, she's in Galway for barber school, and working at Fat Tony's)

    Danielle Keogh. If you get the chance, have her shave you
