I promise, no more knife shop for me. The thing is I thought I was getting it professionally honed, since I was sent there by the employees of the store I purchased the razor from (a store that specializes in... razors). I guess your Mark Twain quote would apply in this situation, because I was definitely fooled and it took a long time, and a lot of expert testimony, before I was convinced of that.

If I can't get it straightened out myself, with the advice and help of SRP members, then I'll be taking Glen up on his offer.

Also, while I was doing research into buying a hone, I remember seeing a website where the owner would send you a razor to hone and then provide you with feedback when you sent it back. Does that ring a bell with anyone? I was thinking about doing it, but I can't remember the website...
