Honing Service Advice For A New Member

[Waylander]

Hi. New member here; living in Worcester. Not new to DE shaving. But just bought my first straight razor. I do not intend to try and hone it myself when the time comes and so I will be grateful to my fellow members for advice on who to send it to and the ball park cost. A photo is attached of what I bought. If there are members here who offer a honing service, am I able to email them via this forum to request a quote when I need to? Cheers.

Welcome to the forum. It looks as if you bought the razor from the Invisible Edge - they offer a honing service. One of the members here also has a very good reputation - @JamieM.

When I started, I had a mentor that recommended a method he used. I honed my first straight razor and had an unexpectedly good result. I should add that I started out with a shavette before getting into the whole sharpening experience and cost or honing materials. I highly recommend a mentor who is willing to do a bit of hand holding. This will start you off right and shave you lots of money.

@Steve56 can offer good advice and what equipment is required. I would recommend reaching out to him in a PM.

As I know, Adam from the Invisible Edge is a very kind man, so you can contact him.

Did the OP get this sorted? I know a gent in Nottingham that could take care of this.
