Thread: Utopian's Honing Service

I will gladly add to the list of kudos. I had no idea what sharp on a razor was supposed to be until I got mine back from Ron.

Adding to the accolades here.

Got two razors back from Ron yesterday. Did a quick neck shave with one of the blades (Koeller) last night and it was slick. Gonna try out a Shumate tonight.

Another satisfied guinea pig... Ron's hone jobs are on now what I consider my sharper razors. I'm sure he's inundated with requests, but take advantage if he's still offering. You won't be disappointed.

P.S. Here's Utopian's thread.

I just got a chance to try out my freshly honed razor. I heard people talking about wiping the hair off but didnt really understand. now i do, it pretty much did just that. smooth and sharp, much better then it was. Great work Utopian.

P.S. So sharp i didnt even notice i nicked a small freckle on my cheek.

Also, I'd like to thank those of you who have publicly complemented my honing. I appreciate those of you who have entrusted me with your razors while I try to get a better handle on how to hone a razor. Lynn said he honed about a thousand razors before he started charging so I guess I'd better keep this free honing going for at least another week or two!

OK Ron, What's "Rottenstone?"
