The classifieds has a list of members that do restores. Send some PM's to them and post some pics so they can all see what they are up against. You might also check members section for somebody near you. You may be surprised. Help with honing is best with hands on help and watching vids is 2nd best. I learned watching Gssixgun's vids and my local friends helped me refine my skills and introduced me to different hones. You can always count on your friends to help you get RAD, HAD, SAD, and other wallet sucking addictions :<0)
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Hi and welcome. There are a fair few guys in California so you might be able to find someone local to help you with honing and you never know maybe even with the scales. Another way is to buy a razor soley for the scales (blade can be broken ) and just put your blade in the new scales. If going for a damaged blade you might pick it up pretty cheap. Good luck and any questions feel free to ask

Hi Johnny. I am close to you in Vacaville but I am out of state right now for the next few months. There are quite a few people up here in Northern California and we had a meet last year that was fun. I was relatively new then, started in May 2014, and learned a lot. I am still new and my honing is still iffy. Good luck and smooth shaves to you.

Welcome, to SRP. When it comes to straight razor shaving, you won't find a more knowledgeable and friendly group of guys than you will find here.
