I remember him, and was a bit miffed when he went to NZ.You would be better off using Dave Glynn in New Zealand , he was local to me but emigrated a few years ago , great guy and one of "us" , trades as Restored Razors and visits the forums now and again
Yes , I was a bit miffed too , he was only a few minutes drive away from me , it was all very convenient , more so when he started honing and restoring straights .I remember him, and was a bit miffed when he went to NZ.
Out of interest, do you know how sending something to him over there, having it "fettled" and sent back, works out from the point of view of costs, especially duties etc, back in the UK?
