Honing

I've been sharpening (honing) straight razors since 2009, and have honed well over 6,000 blades. Mail in honing service is available, with turnaround times typically 3-7 business days.

NOTE:  I do not sharpen the following types of razors:  Current production Fromm, Gierson & Forstoff, Kreigar, Gold Dollar, Mehaz, Master, Selective, anything made in Pakistan or China.

In addition I do not hone razors that have active rust on them!  If your razor has spots of red colored corrosion or rust, I cannot hone them.

To have your razor professionally honed via mail, the process is simple.  Package your razor, a completed PDF form (linked below), and payment (if applicable) in proper packaging, and mail to:

Maggard Razors, LLC
124 S. Winter St. 
Adrian, MI 49221
United States of America

Razor will be honed, and returned to you as quickly as possible.  I generally use a Chosera 1000 grit stone to set bevels, followed by Shapton 4k/8k, Naniwa 12k, and Thuringian finishers.
