A shop in Leuven, damn, right under my nose, and I go and buy a knife in Italy
the square you're referring to is the Ladeuzenplein I presume, with the big old University Library... Will check that shop asap, and I'll PM you for the honing, thanks!!
I'm looking to buy my first straight razor and just moved to Leuven. Did you figure out the address of that shop? Pardon my newness, but how much do they cost and I assume you sharpen them yourself? What are the benifits over disposable straight razor blades?
