The Pro Shop / Re: Sharpening woes in Europe
« Last post by AlbaNY on May 05, 2024, 01:33:34 PM »I have a new EU sharpening story.
Today a girl at the rink had Gold Seals, so I asked where she has her sharpenings done thinking this would be a great way to find a good tech. She said “here at the rink” though.
The rink only has a Sparx machine.
Just like the one a couple hours+ north. Everyone is using the darned thing here.
Her blades looked like on the last third of their life, but they were new to her, and she hadn’t had them done yet.
I feel like it would be nice to have a fresh sharpening done tomorrow before competing next week if I were able (with my tech rather than the ProFiler) in an ideal world, but I think I prefer keeping what’s left of the last sharpening over what I might do with the handheld device? I haven’t been doing that many hours yet, I don’t think, but a fresh sharpening is always so nice. I should tally my hours and decide.
