Phil has a professional background in custom metal fabrication, welding, metalurgy, along with a strong working knowledge in Quality Control for process equipment in the Pharmaceutical and food industry. These are all great assets that he is able to bring with him and adapt to his present Straight Razor restoration work and custom design at The Classic Edge Shaving Store. This metalurgy background allows him a far better understanding of the razor and and steps required to restore it to collector state. This passion and understanding is put into every razor we sell and most importanlty every Honing project we take on for you.
For over a decade, Phil has been honing Straight Razors and a wide variety of knives. Teaching people the art of honing is what brings him great satisfaction. As the honemeister for a number of Straight Razor providers and Knife suppliers in Canada and the United States, he has truly mastered the art of getting the perfect edge and is recognized world wide for that ability. Phil's favorite quote "It can always be a little sharper!" He sharpened his first knife at 12 years, he had to convince his father's friend to give him a knife for his birthday because he knew his parents would not allow him to purchase a knife of his own. Little did he know that he would be given a knife that was over 100 years old, and boy did it look it. Now sharpening this knife was a complete nightmare until his father handed him an old water stone that he had in the kitchen drawer. It took a few weeks until his father finally told him he needed to use water on the stone (What a mess!)...... After that he always asked before he took on a new job he knew nothing about. Even till this day, some research is needed when taking on a honing job for something rare and not often seen.
Buying products from a website can be so impersonal that people are sometimes shy to contact someone to ask questions. We try our best to let people know that we are here for you, we're not just saying that to sound like we care. We really want you to ask questions! One thing we see daily is when someone buys their first Straight Razor and shortly after, comes an email asking if they actually need a strop! So better to find out what you need up front than get your beautiful straight razor in the mail and have to wait for your new strop to follow! That's like buying a sports car and waiting for the keys! Email us theclassicedge@gmail.com! We're here for you and if we are not, leave a message. We always get back to you the second we are able!
