Thread: Anybody ever have Bertarelli hone a razor??

Ok, the results are in!

Not only is the razor not sharp enough but they made my 6/8 genco (unrestored) into somewhere between a 5/8 and 4/8 at the tip and is visibly wider at the heel. The etching is now very uneven.

I did somewhat anticipate this so was not too upset. I still offered to pay for the service but they refused observing my disappointment. They asked what was wrong and I pointed out how the blade was uneven now and that they had removed over an 1/8th of inch from the width of the blade. (which is very obvious) They disagreed and couldn't see what I was talking about. (keep in mind they had twice previously assured me they know what they are doing and would not take off an 1/8 inch which I had specifically inquired about) They were actually d*%#s about it even though I was being very calm and nice having prepared myself for such results.

What really ****ed me off was that, even though I told them it was not a big deal and still offered to pay I heard them mocking me before I even left the store!!!

I think honing should be left to those here who know what they are actually doing!!

LESSON LEARNED!!
