I do and have learned through watching gssixguns videos on You Tube, however, onimaru55 offers a hoing service, I believe.
It's possibly something to look at later on down the track.
I'd say get your technique right first (both shaving and stropping) before adding another variable.
Just my $0.02

There is an old guy in Frenamtle also who hones for a reasonable price, i haven't sent a blade to him so i don't know what his honing is like. (Six Chairs Fremantle)
No website

There is also Mr Shaver in the city but you need to apply for a mortgage before you go to him @ $80 a hone

Or we have our very own Oz in Sydney who everyone swears by!
Razor Services in OZ by Oz - Straight Razor Place Classifieds

So you have three options there, i personal would send my razors to Oz.


You can learn to hone your own blades and in the long run isn't a bad skill to have but it will take some time to learn and cost a few $$ for the initial setup.
