==========
I have extensive experience in the sharpening & restoration of straight/cut-throat razors and kitchen knives.
Sharpening and honing is all done manually on Japanese whetstones, finished off with stropping on honing pastes and premium leather strop, ensuring a very high degree of sharpness.
Razors with rust will require at least Tier 2 servicing to ensure longevity.
NOTE:
1. Tommy Guns branded razors are NOT accepted for sharpening due to their factory grind errors making sharpening very difficult.
2. If you're after a good set of razors, I highly recommend Dovo, which are easily sharpened and will serve you well for many years.
3. Scale replacement service is available upon request, which will be the cost of Tier 3 service plus cost of scales. 2 types of scales are now in-stock available for scale replacement - Black & White swirl, and Purely Black scales (see picture).
4. Recently there have been razors sent in which can't be sharpened as the steel have lost their temper, likely due to excessive heat from improper mechanical grinding (such as on a grinding wheel). As it is impossible to determine that the steel have lost temper until later in the sharpening process, the cost for this will be 75% of the Tier of service which the razor was undergoing to cover labor cost.
Please see photos below for examples of sharpening & razor restoration.

2 Straight Razors
5 / 5
Kevin Honed my two razors expertly. Extremely happy with the result.
Have been using cutthroats for a few years with what I thought was a sharp razor. In the end I gave up, searched gumtree, sent off my razors and received them sharper than I ever thought possible.. Easy shaves now, closer, safer and quicker.
I heartily recommend Kevins services.

Dovo Bismarck, (new) Hone Tier 1
5 / 5
Hi, I used Kevin after reading current reviews, my razor hade been "honed" by "another" who left it with a slight bend in the blade and a definite "nick" in it. The razor was sent to Kevin in this condition, on return it was in "shave ready" condition, honed, stropped, clean and oiled, it was a pleasure to use. I don't intend to hone only balsa strop, so this and my other will certainly be going to Kevin for a yearly hone or tune-up, thanks for a great job, real happy, Les
