    Default Straight Razor Honing / Polishing in NYC?

    Hey guys,

    I recently bought a H. Boker Red Injun 101 razor from Ebay and was wondering if there's one of you guys who can hone it and polish it for me here in NYC. The blade appears to be in good condition however it's a bit scratched and has black "spots" or stains. I'd love to fix it myself but I don't have the right tools and/or experience to make it happen. Any info would be GREATLY appreciated!

    Thank you so much for your time.

    Im in NJ, just over the bridge. I'd be happy to hone for you.

    Pm me your details and we can set something up.

    I am in Brooklyn every other week. Honing is easy. polishing it up? I suppose that depends on how crazy you want to go! Those pics look like the pitting goes a bit deeper than you would want to go to remove completely. But certainly it can be made "better" I'm not a fan of mirror finish myself. Also, keep your eyes open, as there is a NYC razor meetup coming up soon (I believe)
