    Just sent mine off here -

    Carbon Steel Razor Honing Service

    Seems like a good price, hoping to learn to do this myself but for a first time I left it to the pros so ill have a comparison after.

    Only just posted mine, says at the top of the web page it could take 2 weeks as he's booked up but fingers crossed it will be quicker.

    My strop turned up today and itching to try it out

    Those two people you guys have posted are stand-up guys... I personally had experience with Steve at Invisible Edge - great service but he is very busy, took about 4-5 weeks to have my razors back from him. Neil Miller is actually a member of SRP here, so you can send him a PM to see how busy he is at the moment.

    You won't be disappointed whichever way you go.

    Cheers,

    Ash
