Thread: the Perfect Edge

Hopefully this is the right area to post this, if not can a mod. please re-direct it.

That being said I wanted to let those of you in the Boston area know about The Pefect Edge, the owners name is Howard and he hones straight razors for people all over the country. I took a drive out there Thursday and even tho it was over an hour drive it was well worth it. Howard is such a nice guy, down to earth guy, and he really enjoys what he does. He explained a lot of information to me while honing my razors, and even the specific flaws the occured while tempering one of my razors. He also spoke highly of straight razor place . I highly recommend him to everyone and if you are within driving distance I urge you to go take a visit. his website is theperfectedge.com

Hey I'm in the Boston area too! I should check him out some time...Thanks for the info!

he showed me how the blade wasn't tempered at the same time, and after he ran it thru the shapton 1k-30k he used another method that took the hair off his arm like that "ahh..haaa" moment"

he knew in a milli second what was wrong with my razors, you guys will be like wow when he hones yours ")

Howard is one of the good guys for sure. He is also a member here.

he noticed the edge wasn't consistent when he started with the bevel, he pointed out how the slurry was strange, and as he honed it further he showed me how the edge was more consistent as was the slurry. for a novice like myself it was great to see the care taken into makng my razor shave ready

wow, great website. thanks for sharing that man
