honing services

A properly honed and sharpened razor is the key to great straight razor shaves.

After a period of time your straight razor needs to be honed as it will lose it's sharpness and become dull. The razor will start to pull, feel harsh on your face and barely cut any hair with nothing but razor burn, nicks and cuts as a result. Most if not all new razors will not come shave ready when initially purchased. Depending daily use and beard type a straight razor will normally become dull and need to be re-sharpened several times a year.

What does shave ready mean?

Simply that the razor’s edge is ready - without stropping - to give you a shave right away. You will, of course, need to strop the razor before your next shave just as any other. A good strop is essential for maintaining the shaving edge of a straight razor.
