Terms and Conditions
- The final edge on the blade is a function of many factors. Poor quality steel or edges with oxidation incursions will not take or hold a quality edge. Generally, I will inform you if your blade will not take a decent edge before accepting to complete the job and receive payment. Also, please understand that honing requires removal of metal to varying degrees. I will do my best to preserve the look and function of your blade, but I can't make it last forever.
- I have many finishing hones and strops. If you have a preference, please indicate so on the customer form. If no preference is expressed, I will select the finishing method which best suits the blade.
- I will ship the razor back tracked and insured by CanadaPost Expresspost which is tracked and insured. If you'd like the item shipped back by some other carrier, please let me know ahead of time and we can work something out. Untrackable methods are not advisable and I will absolutely not ship your razor back by letter mail.
- Unless you are an experienced straight razor shaver, please do not do anything to the blade before shaving with it for the first time upon return. This includes stropping. Improper technique, even for a few strokes on soft leather, can ruin an edge. I strop all razors before sending them back as a final step in honing. If you are an experienced straight user, feel free to strop as usual.
- Please fill out the customer form (link above) and include it with your razor(s). Make sure to print clearly, especially the address. I require this form to avoid mutually embarassing emails and PM's asking for return addresses.
- I currently accept the following forms of payment: Paypal (see address below), Personal or Cashier's Cheque and Canadian Money Order. I don't suggest mailing cash and I don't accept US postal money orders (as it says right on them, they are only negotiable in the US). Please make payment in full before the razor gets to me. If you're skeptical and want to try the edge before paying then please find someone else to perform the work.
- Volume discounts work as follows:
- I will do business with customers in any country as long as it is legal and they understand the increased postal cost, shipping risks and time involved.
- I offer some light restoration services as well, please enquire if interested and we can work something out. Keep in mind I generally have a waiting list.
- I don't do dropoffs or pickups, so please do not ask. It's not that I'm antisocial, I just have a busy schedule and don't want the hassle of organizing a time that suits us both to make an exchange. Please also note, I live in a townhouse with a mailbox that is behind a locked door, so saving on shipping by dropping it off is not a good idea.
