Thread: Where to get a razor honed in Europe?

I bought an old victorian straight off ebay last week. Where would you guys recommend getting the razor honed in Europe?
I know it can be done here, Home but it's very expensive at 40 euro + mailing it to them.

Thanks.

stropshop uk, and the invisible edge uk. Both highly recommended though not used myself

40 euro is a tad more then usual. don't worrie to much about the price thou, more about who you send it to.

I've used Steve at The Invisible Edge and would have no hesitation in recommending him. He sorted a 7 day set out for me and they all shave impeccably. You may think it's expensive but you get what you pay for.
You could also try Neil Miller at The Strop Shop.
You may be having to pay a little more if your razor needs some restoration as well as putting a shaving edge on your blade.

This is the Razor I bought. I don't think it's too bad. It's still sharp but, not shave ready sharp.

Very true! You get what you pay for & sometimes more. It just depends on who it is! I've heard of Steve at the invisible edge so it sounds like he has made a name for himself but Neil is a well known member on here o you won't go wrong with him!

I have a razor purchased from invisible edge and its a nice shave, i use it more than the other few razors i have.

Just to follow up on this, a forum member from the UK PM'ed about my razor saying he could hone and polish it for me at a very reasonable price.
Thank's so much UKRob, you did unbelievable job on my Razor.

I would absolutely recommend UKRob to anyone on this side of the pond that needs work done on a razor.

Wow, that came out very nice! Congrats.
