There's a London razorcon in July and there will be a load of honing going on there if you want to come along! It should be a great day and there's lots going on: Honing, restoration, shaving demos and more kit than you can shake a stick at..!
In the mean time I can hone your razor for you for the cost of postage if you like? Just PM me if you're interested!

If one can see someone honing and explain as they go along it makes a tremendous difference in one's ability, almost instantly. Videos are good but when you see someone do it in person and have a chance to hear and feel the razor on the hone it is really very enlightening. Be careful though because this can lead to instant HAD!
Take Care,
Richard

If at all possible attend a razor meet, you can learn more in a day with the help of others than you would in a year on your own.
