Thanked: 3So who do I send my razor to to be sharpened & serviced?
Well I haven't been on here for a while. Mainly because I had yet to acquire my first straight razor. But, due to the recent death of my Dad, I unexpectedly inherited one. I didn't even know he had a straight razor. And he never used one as long as I can remember.
But I inherited a C-MON Wedge. It was made in Germany and sold by by Peter J. Michels, Inc in Brooklyn, New York. And I would like to have it serviced. I don't have any honing, stropping ect capability yet. But I plan on buying Lynns DVD and learn what I can.
But it would be nice to have a straight razor that I know is ready to use. Last time I was on here there was information on reputable persons who would sharpen, hone, evaluate straight razors. But I cant seem to find that info now.
So I was asking for advice on who to send my razor to. I will post photos of my razor tomorrow. And perhaps get feedback from you guys.

A CMon wedge is a great razor when in fine shape. Also a great razor when in so-so shape. You will need a strop, good lather, and a brush! Sorry to hear of your dad's passing. Using that old blade would do him proud. Yes, photos will help evaluate it's potential!
"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

Please accept my condolences for your father's passing.
That razor will be a wonderful remembrance...enjoy!When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
It's the same when you are stupid.

Thanked: 3Well here are photos of my first and recently inherited straight razor. I looked through the sites database and didn't see any. So I plan on entering my example into the database. Tell me what you think.
