Anyone know of a reputable honemeister in the Phoenix area?
Thanks in advance.
I think dirtychrome hones. I am meeting up with him tomorrow at ye olde pipe and tobacco over by the biltmore at 5. stop by if you wanna shoot the shit and smoke a cigar. I typically either hone my own or splurge and have Glen or Lynn hone my razors.
Thanks for the quick reply, I will be working so have to take a rain check on the smoke.
np. there aren't a lot of us in AZ that are active. myself, dirtychrome, and Glock20c are all in the phx scottsdale tempe area
It's suprising given the population of Phoenix alone. I was in the AOS store at Fashion Square and they mentioned a guy in Scottsdale they use but I haven't been able to find him
I would wager that is probably Walt....i will ask him today.
Did anyone get an answer to this? I would like to get a couple of my straight razors properly sharpened. I don't have the skills to do a proper job. Like shaving with a dull butter knife, well not that bad but close.
I am in the Phoenix area and work in Biltmore.
Check the classifieds under "member services".
The Art Of Shaving store at Fashion square mall can send them out to a local shop in Scottsdale. I think they said it is15.00 but double check. The sharpening guy is somewhere around Miller rd and I believe Camelback but I couldn't find them. I didn't look real hard either. If you find the shop itself please post a reply. The AOS store might tell you if you ask. Hope this helps.
On a side note, a couple of our local SRP members have been very generous and offered me some lessons on honing. I am sure if you ever want to give it a whirl we could all probably work something out.
Thank you for everyone that had a comment here. I called TAOS (The Art of Shaving) and The Phoenix Knife House is who they use. Told me to ask for Eaton.Quote:

Sounds like a plan. Thanks for the additional info.
I am always up for cigars and razor talk. I frequent several shops in phx and mesa so just give me notice and I will be there with my bag of goodies
have any of you tried this guy in scottsdale? a few of my blades are overdue
ASR - Straight Razor Shaving, Honing, Sharpening, & Restoration
A while back there was a thread/discussion on what "Truly Honed or True Honing or what-ever-you-want-to-call it" is and if it has any merits to it. It got a tad heated so without going into details about that thread, the general consensus here was if you want/need your razors honed and cannot do it yourself, either check in the Classifieds in "Member Services" or the Vendor's Corner for someone to hone your razors. I've had 4 different members here hone razors for me and they all do fantastic work and have great communication regarding the entire process. Just my $0.02.
found it. heh. thanks for the heads up. i've had razors done by members before and it was great. i just thought local might be convenient.
any one find a place here in phoenix? I thought I ask I know post is old.
Hello Sixotwo, to answer your question, not yet. I sent mine off to Straight Razor Designs and will learn to hone my own in the future.
But like the comments previously mentioned, check the classified section.
Good luck.
