Product Description
Some skaters who get new skates or steel want the bulk of metal on the toe and heels toned down a bit to make the transition from old skates easier. Our shaving service is taking off some of that metal, the amount removed is equivalent to approximately 10 regular skate sharpenings. We can take off more, however we do not recommend it. The more metal you have on the toe, the more power you will have in your pushes. The more metal you have in the heel, the more speed and balance you will have in heel turns. Shaving may provide instant gratification when getting new skates or steel but it is bad for performance. You are actually better off not shaving at all, and instead skating a few times until your body mechanics adjust to the new steel's shape. This does not take long and you will be better off in the long run. However, if you want more removed than this, we have an Excessive Shave option that takes off more.
Note: This service does not remove a huge amount of steel, if you want a lot ground off, additional charges will apply.
