I either have recently acquired or am in the midst of acquiring a few razors that are probably beyond my skill to sharpen for the first time.
One is a so-called "hollow ground" Wade and Butcher (it's maybe a quarter hollow or so?) with some uneven hone wear on the spine, and the other two are wedges from the first half of the 18th century. I feel comfortable doing maintenance honing, but I'd rather that they start life with a better bevel than I feel comfortable providing.
Does anyone have recommendations of places where I can take or send them in Canada? I'm in Vancouver, so if it was somewhere in the West that would make the logistics and cost easier to bear.
Thanks for your suggestions!
