    Default Need my first razor honed - Canadian eh?

    Hello everyone - first post here.

    I just acquired my first str8, a Hess #1, in a trade and need to get it expertly honed. I live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and did a search but did not find anyone mentioned in this neck of the woods. the only post I found mentioned that the fairer gender may not be so fair in this region - I disagree and I have lived in Toronto and Montreal, my wife also disagrees - but that is completely .

    Question 1: Anybody happen to know of anyone in Ottawa that will hone a razor and perhaps even let me learn off of them?

    Question 2: If not local, then in Canada? Shipping might be easier.

    Question 3: Am I permitted to ask this many questions in one post?

    Question 4: If it is kosher to ask - does anyone offer this service on these boards for members?

    Thanks, Bill

    Welcome aboard Bill,
    Shipping to the US is also fairly reasonable (as low as $3) so it's not too bad if you contacted Lynn (adjustme69) or Joe (Joe Chandler). They offer that service and do a bang-up good job. If you go REALLY wild on the blade and it needs to be re-ground, Joe offers that service as well (extra charge, but reasonable).

    Edit: Ask as many question as you thing is prudent for you to get your point across and all the info that's necessary as long as it's on related topics. We encourage members who sell their wares, so it's all good & cosher
