You can check out the classifieds here and see if theres someones work who pleases you. Better to send it to someone whos work you like or trust than just local :)
Thanks for the info. I will check the classifieds for someone. Its just I am new at this and I am familiar with no one. I have nothing to compare work with. The reason I suggested local was merely convenience and turnaround time.
Turnaround will be limited more by how good they are than how close... guys who are good often have a month or more of work booked. Check the classifieds and the gallery, find something you like, and send some PMs... prices and styles will no doubt vary. Take your time and make sure you get what YOU want, that's the fun part!
I am really having fun with it already. Looking forward to my next shave and reading about all the things I need to learn. This is fun. Thank you for all your help.
The Restored Razor - Straight Razor Shaving
Located in Naperville.
I'm going to check that place out! I am in Naperville semi frequently
I just dropped off a razor for scales. I'll post a pic when I get it back.
Where dem pics!?!
I live in Chicago, but apart from some hand-sanding projects for fun, I send restorations to Glen (gssixgun).
There are only a few people who really do a great job of restoration...it's worth any potential wait to have it done right.
I do have to say if you don't know their work you should not put it down
