Hi Everyone. So I've decided to take up the fine art of straight razor shaving. Been doing lots of research, this site has helped a lot.I've acquired a razor I'm happy with (for those curious, http://ift.tt/1Jrq63d), strop, cream, just waiting on the brush (Not looking into the honing stones yet, want to get my skill up in the rest of the field first).
As I had expected I don't think it is shave ready, It feels really sharp and managed to remove hairs from the back of my had well enough but pretty sure it's meant to be sharper and as a newcomer to this I can only assume and from what I've read it almost certainly dose need a professional honing. (It failed the HHT if thats any reference to go by).
My issue is I'm in melbourne Australia and not sure quite how to find one. I did manage to find this online

Just not sure how credible it is, cant find anyone who's used the service and as a newbie if I go ahead with it, I wont know if it's a sub par job.
Saw some other threds where people have recommended members of this site. If I recall properly someone called Ozy in Sydney was one. Anyway any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
