I don't think some of you realize that honing is not an exact science or that what is sharp for one person may or may not be usable for another. Classic Shaving'r razors used to be honed by Lynn. I don't know if he is still doing their honing or not; however, whomever it was that did it I am sure it can be honed again if you ask Classic Shaving. It is amazing how close a razor can sometimes be to the "ultimate shaver" and still not be fine tuned for your particular beard type. Please give them a chance to make it right.
