There are some memebers in Portugal who may be able to help with honing. Might be a bit closer for you.

I guess rodquiman hasn't been around since last April. I only wish he didn't return to disposable blades world. I wonder if he ever tried straight shaving.

I must have been half asleep

Sorry for upping this thread again, well, it has just been a cuple of week so...

I have been around, getting more info on straight shaving, but not logging in. This last months I´ve been very busy, so I didn´t have much time for internet, (I´m a bit shy too). Nevertheless, I managed to buy onlne a straight razor that I´m learning to use and I´m very happy with it. Bye bye Mr. Gillette.
BTW I´m glad to see that there are forumers in Portugal and Barcelona, so that I can get some help. I asked at the knifes and razor shop I mentioned if they do honing and they just said: "Honing? There´s no need for it, it comes honed for life".

Honed for life eh? I want one of those
