Help, Please. Looking for a sharpening service
Hope this is the correct section for my topic. Being a real newby, if not please send me in the right direction.
If someone out there can help this new straight razor user I sure would be grateful. Although I'm mid 60, I just started using a straight razor off and on, about a month ago, and am hooked. I have 2 of my Grandpa's old razors and as you can imagine, they are in need of some help. I am proficient with a stone, hone and strop for knives, but am having a difficult time with these razors.
Some of my shaves come out fine, and just when I have built up some confidence, the next time I end up looking liked I was in a chain saw fight and couldn't get mine started. One razor seems better than the other, but I would appreciate it if someone could point me to a professional in the Sacramento, California area that is capable of restoring a proper edge to my razors. Once I see how they are supposed to be, I think I can keep them there.
Thanks in advance for any help. Jack in Fiddletown

Hi, Jack, and welcome to SRP! Check in the Classifieds under "Member Services". We do have several members here who are California based -- I'm sure one of them will chime in here and give you some help.

You might also try posting in the Honing forum for someone in your area. Having someone watch you hone is one of the best ways to learn razor honing.
