Thread: honing needed

Hello!

I am a jobless douche in the north of sweden, trying to get my razors sharp with lousy equipment. They are usable for OK shaving but definately not what you would call "shave ready". Until I can afford some better equipment I wonder if anyone (preferable in Sweden or at least Scandinavia, due to postage costs) could make one of my razors the favor of honing it. So I can 1. have a usable razor, and 2. have something as a guideline when I finally can dig into the now empty wallet and buy me some decent stones.

Best regards

ps. There is a company in the south of Sweden that does it for an affordable fee, but I thought it's nicer to have an enthusiast do it, and of course I pay postage both ways. ds.

I am not overseas but if you end up helpless i am willing to help you.
Even i could pay shipping back to you your razors. You have to pay your end.
preferable at least ship 2 in that case our shipping payment wont be waste.

By the way, you are overseas - for me!

Hi.

I'm located in Norway.
If you like I could sharpen up your razor for you.
Mind you, I'm no professional at this, like hi_bud_gl and the other Honemeisters at this place.
But I guess I could put a useable edge on your razor.

after spying a bit on Birnando's forum activity he is definately up for the job! I'm proper amazed by the fast activity on this forum, and by the gentleness.

Birnando, please PM me your address, and how much money you want for postage coverage and I will send you my J.A. Hellberg with a dull edge.

Best regards

Just send it to me, I'll cover the return cost.
It's pretty cheap to send these small packages within Scandinavia.

PM sent with my address info

Cheers guys
