U.K Honemeisters?
Hey, guys. Can anyone recommend any good honemeisters in the U.K, or anyone selling well honed shave-ready razors in the U.K? I'm new to straight razors, and was pointed to SRP by L_X Emergency. Great advice, mate. Great site.

Somewhere around Hereford and Worcester, (the ones in England) I believe. I've bought a few items from him and they've arrived in London (England) the next day. IIRC the quoted prices include postage.

(He's also outbid me on ebay a few times. He's a sniper.)

I can heartily recommend SRP member Poona. He's over in Northern Ireland. I just had him hone one of my wapi's and it came back by return of post with a beautiful edge and gave me my best shave so far.
Drop him a PM and he'll take care of you. As I'm learning to hone he also kindly detailed exactly what he'd needed to do to put the edge on it and gave me some tips to follow with my own experiments with another wapi I have.
Money well spent.

Thaks for the replies, guys
. I'll give them a try. Just been over to theinvisibleedge, and I'm thinking about getting one of his Wapis. I'll drop Poona a pm about honing the razor I've got. Anyone know of any other honemeisters in the U.K?

Guys, just read the last post there..
Leofric - I'm up to my eyes at the minute with my Uni course, but quite a few guys are referring to this guy Steve from invisibleedge so he may be worth a shout. I haven't had an personal experience of his honing but am sure it's good.
If you're really stuck I'll help you out but I'm officially not honing anything for anyone til after May when my exams are over.
Will update my autosig to say same.
