Just a friendly question here.

If you already know/think and state your services will not be to the same standard as the more well known why would you offer paid services.
The result of your work would in this case never consistently be shave ready, and why would someone go for less sharp for a few dollars less?

As Joe stated, if you know what you are doing and are trying to establish a market for a fine product then go for it! Anybody fearing the loss of a customer and who might come down on you knows that he/she has not delivered as expected (otherwise one wouldn't lose a customer that easily usually within this field, nothing beats a satisfied and returning customer).

Maybe offer your services for free for a while to keep perfecting the skills (if you are unsure). This would certainly give you a headstart on a customer database once the paid services start!
