Thread: Looking for a local honemeister (Michigan)

I did a search and could only come up with a post of another Michigander looking for a honing mentor so at least I tried the search before I posted.

Anyways, I have run into the dilemma of needing my razor(s) honed. Sending them out to be honed will obviously put me out of commission at the very least a week and I cringe at the thought of going back to disposables. So, I was wondering if there was any honemeisters in southeast Michigan that will allow me to visit them and have my razor(s) honed on the spot. OF course I would be willing to pay for the service but just trying to avoid the shipping and wait.

I have a Dovo best quality that has been used and stropped with the utmost care, so it should be a breeze to hone. This is what I NEED honed. I also have another razor that I found at my grandfather's that would be nice to have fixed up but if it requires anything more than just some strokes on a couple hones then forget it for now.

I live in Warren, about 5-10 minutes outside of Detroit and I am willing to travel to a certain extent as well.

If this is a no-go then so be it, I'll send them out but figured I'd give it a try.

Thank you all,

Dan

Dan,
I am not sure if they are honemeisters, but I believe they hone. Alembic is in the Metro Area and might be able to help you out. Undream is in Adrian and I have spent time at his place before. I would say check out the google map, but I have multiple times and those two are my best guess.

Did you ever find a pkace to sharpen your razor? I am I

I am also from southeast MI, and am looking for a good honing mentor. Any luck finding one?

I ended up doing it myself with a Naniwa 12K stone. Couldn't be happier.

Maggard Razors in Adrian is run by one of the members here, "Undream." He can hone and his shop is great. maggardrazors.com

Thank you gents

I think he is doing a get together on the 11th of January from 2-6.
