    Default So 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!

    I rest my case.

    Thanks for the condolences. I appreciate the links and direction as well. I was looking at where to get Abrams DVD and I went to the Vintage Blades link. I will buy the DVD tomorrow and post photos of my straight razor on here as well. Thanks again guys!!

    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.

    Well 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.
