    Default Hello From Ontario

    Hello all,

    From south western Ontario Canada and new to straight shaving. Recently purchased an A. Witte Gold Bug and a Dovo Master's that are both used.
    I shaved with the Master's yesterday and it was OK but I think it needs to be honed.

    Anyone know of someone that hones locally between Kitchener and London?

    I'm excited to use this site as a wealth of information to the new hobby I am starting.

    Cheers

    Welcome to the forum. There are quite a few guys in southern Ontario that belong to this forum and they may have some answers about your honing need. I have personally had Phil at Classicedge do some honing for me and he did a very good job of it. You can check out Honing if you like.

    Welcome fellow Canadian! Phil and Jane at Classicedge are also my recommendation.
    Something else you should maybe check out is a meet in your area, that is coming up soon.
