Recommended a good honemeister that you have used.

[rbscebu]

I am updating the list of honemeisters (worldwide) in the B&B Wiki. If you have had a personal experience with a honemeister who knows his stuff, please list him in this thread. I need:

1. Location (country & state).
2. Name (and B&B name if known).
3. Web site or email address.
4. Whether they do just honing or honing/repairs. If unknown, just state honing.

I will then include them in the Honemeister wiki page. You can see examples there.

So far we have:

• Australia
  • NSW (2)
  • Qld (2)
  • Vic (1)
• Malaysia
  • Kuala Lumpur (1)
• New Zealand (1)
• Portugal (1)
• USA
  • CA (1)
  • RI (1)
  • TX (1)
  • VA (1)
• United Kingdom
  • England (1 +1 broken link)
  • Wales (1)

Hi.

I would highly recommend Jacques Du Plessis from DapperShaves,South Africa. He specialises in straight razor restoration, vintage straights , pinning , knives and scissors, and his edges are buttery smooth and keen. Hones on Jnats, nagura, and Arkansas. I’m a daily straight shaver and his edges are remarkable matched with exceptional service. He takes pride in his work and is very passionate and knowledgeable. Easy to communicate with and gives great feedback and advice.

I am pretty sure Jacques is/was a member here. Haven't seen him post in a while.

I have only used one, Glen from Gemstar Custom Razors. He provided excellent service. He is in Idaho.

I’ve shaved with an edge honed by @thp001. He is in MT and has a site called Petty Creek Cutlery. Very nice edge

My contribution is Joseph from Edge Dynamics in London. Joseph hones razors as well as restores them. He does a JNAT hone as well as on synthetics. He also sells restored razors.

Maggard Razors.

Michigan U.S.

the only two razors I have sent out when i first got started.

Matt has honed a lot of razors according to website. I'd guess he's finishing on a very high grit synth........but this is purely a guess.
