Been away a while ....
After months of Safety Razor shaving I want to get my Le Grelots back in shave state.
Is Lynn Abrams still the best Honemeister and does he still provide a honing service ?
Thanks !!
When did he become "the best Honemeister"? After all, he can't even get a GD to shave properly. WE CAN. HE doesn't even think it is possible. We don't see any problem. So obviously the average honemeister here is better than the "best" honemeister "over there". Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what THEY say. I even got banned on my first day for suggesting that a GD properly modded was a great razor. They won't even consider their vaunted skills up to the task of making a GD shave-ready, something that we routinely do here. Therefore and Obviously, Badgermen are better honers.
That other forum is the place to look for your answer, though. Like Seraphim says, we are doing the lapping film mambo here. After three or four film-powered honing sessions under our excelent and knowledgeable tutelage, you yourself will be getting edges as good or better than "that other" honeperson. Film is super easy to learn and gives really nice, consistent results. You don't need JNats, Cotis, Shaptons, etc, though they are certainly fun to use. $20 will get you going with lapping film. The smallest coti will cost more than that, and a nice big 70mm or 75mm x 200mm or longer one will cost 20 times that much. And ONE honing by almost anybody will cost that much. At this point I suggest you do it yourself. If you are nervous, get one of Larry's whippeddogs for your backup razor while you play around with your Le Grelot and some film.
