I just got lucky finding a NOS Parker 320 Japanese vintage and I’m looking to have it honed. So far I’ve been pointed to Straight Razor Designs and The Perfect Edge, but I don’t know who would be better. Any suggestions or other recommendations? Thanks in advance!
Honing Service Recommendations?

Doc226’s edges are wonderful and well regarded. The gentelman who runs shaveready.net can put a nice edge on a razor. And, while i’ve Never shaved off one of his edges, Lynn Abraham from straightrazordesigns is a legendary honing guru.
Plus one for doc226
I heard the srd honing gets sent to Staten Island NY. I thought he was in Ohio? Lol.
Oh! Hmm. Well then...never mind.

You will find Doc226 a great guy to deal with and his Jnat skills are above reproach.
Doc226 is one of (if not the) best in the business. Only edge I have ever used that comes close to his is Ulrik Beyer (Koraat Razors). Ulrik is in Austria and is a razor manufacturer..not probably a great choice for just honing work.
Lynn Abrams is good too. Doc is a tough act to follow though.
The guy at The Perfect Edge (according to Jarrod at TSS), Howard Schecter, puts a phenomenal edge on a razor. If I recall, Jarrod once said it was the sharpest, keenest edge he has ever experienced.
I have tried Doc226, Lynn Abrams, and Ulrik Beyer...never tried Howard. Maybe some day....
Right now I do my own honing and am pretty satisfied with the final product.
