Purchased a Dovo straight razor six months ago, but would like to get it honed soon. Have tried Yellow Pages, but is there such thing as a honing specialist? Btw I live in the Glasgow/West of Scotland area? Genuinely curious, don't feel confident about honing myself in case I damage the blade.

Don't know but the stock answer for straight razor honing and sharpening queries is it's "Miller time"

Send it to Neil Miller.

Hi Dave
At the top of the straight razor section of this forum you will see 3 posts named

Choosing & Using a Straight Razor - pt 1
Choosing and Using a Straight Razor - pt 2, Strops
Choosing & Using a Straight Razor - pt3, Hones

Neil Miller wrote them and he is on this forum he offers honing services you can PM and he will reply and give you a price. He has got a web site with all the prices on it the link is at the bottom of his signature.

Hope this helps.
