    Default Hi from Auckland

    Hello all,

    I've been shaving with my father's old Gillette DE (to use the abbreviations common on Reddit's Wicked_Edge forum) for a couple years now, and decided to try out an SE (straight/cutthroat etc). I've just purchased a used Bengall in need of some TLC - minor rust and pitting, and I'm thinking of trying to clean it up and have it honed.

    Anybody know if there's anyone in New Zealand who has a good reputation for honing?

    Looking forward to some good discussions ahead!

    Hello and welcome to SRP!

    Here's a list of members who came up on a search of members located in New Zealand: http://straightrazorpalace.com/membe...sername&order=

    Of those, check out the ones who have a recent "last visit" date to see who may be active. I'm sure they'd be happy to lend a hand or give advice if you PMed them.

    Hi there Hubris2 Welcome there is a wealth of info on here, As for someone to hone there is this guy on TM who sells new SE and Strops GentlemansBlade I think He offers to get his TM blades shave ready so maybe he would be up to doing it. I have been thinking of getting in contact with him to see as I need one professionally done so I can compare against what I am doing.
