    Default Anyone honing in Bronx or Manhatan

    Hi All

    My name is Luis and I was having difficulty finding someone to hone my straight razor. Can anyone recommend a place or provide service?

    NY shaving company. Lower east side manhattan 212 334 9495. Elizabeth street right by Chinatown. I have heard they hone and sell shave ready razors. I don't have any experience in dealing with them.

    I'd be happy to help you out. If you are willing to take a trip to jersey I can hone your razor and show you how I do it. I can also demo stropping, lather making, and some basic razor skills. Or you can ship me the razor and I'll hone it.

    Let me know if interested.

    If you're into mentoring, or if we can get a another GTG onthe calendar, I would love to get to the next step on maintenance. Not sure that honing is for me, but with a dozen or so razors in my inventory, I need a solid maintenance plan..

    I'm in on the GTG. We had one recently in NJ that was terrific. There's nothing like hands on training, especially with regards to honing and stropping.

    Hey Michael

    Thanks for helping me hone my razors and for taking the time to answer my questions. I got a great shave. Looking forward to getting together again.
