... sending people who buy their str8ts to get honed at this place that doesn't know jack.
I mean, I'm new, don't know hardly anything about honing, and I know more then this guy.
plus, he never answers his phone. Groom It Industries in Los Angles. Avoid it.
Thanks! I was planning a trip to the orange county area later this month.
well, I'm speaking of the one in Glendale. Don't know anything about the other Southern California stores and what they tell their customers about honingQuote:

Here's the review.
As you said yourself, you're new (nothing wrong about that) and currently you are critisizing somebody who, I presume, does that for a living and has no chance to counter your argument.Quote:

I'd also like to know whether you actually tested his edges and to what did you compare it with.
Even if he doesn't hone according to prevalent guidelines of SRP, doesn't mean he can't get a mean edge on a blade.

What was the situation, what was said...paint a picture.
Perhaps you could give us some insight as to what the problem is. It would then be possible to form a more balanced judgement as to whether it's the blade or the way you are shaving with it.
