Review content:
First off, this review is for hockey skate sharpening, I don't know about the roller skates or skateboarding stuff... As far as skate sharpening goes, this is by far the best place I've found after three years of hockey in the Boston area. I have tried a bunch of places, including driving a bit outside the city, and nothing even comes close.\r

This is not the type of place that you hand over your skates and they disappear to the back room for 15 minutes and then off you go. Chris actually shows you the sharpening process, pointing out what to look for when skates are sharpened correctly. It was really nice to get back on the ice after getting them sharpened here, the difference between other sharpenings was quite obvious. \r
\r
The shop is exactly as described in other reviews, it's not the biggest flashiest place around, but he knows what he's doing and he's fun to talk to. \r

Hockey skates cost $10, with an additional $5 if they're rusty. If nothing else, that's incentive to take care of your skates. Yes, you can find some places for cheaper around, but in the long run you're going to spend A LOT more because you'll have to go back over and over. If you want a quality job, it's well worth the few extra bucks.\r

I don't know about the review right below mine. From my experiences, there's no way Chris would give back a pair of skates with uneven edges. That was one of the main things he fixed for me... my edges were very uneven and he was clearly disgusted with the shop that had sharpened mine before. I also know someone who got goalie skates sharpened here with no problem. Don't let that negative review keep you from trying this shop... see for yourself.\r
\r
As a last note, the shop is not on Beacon Hill by the Charles MGH T Stop, it's on Charles Street South, on the other end of the common.
Pros: Best sharpening in town. Easy to get to (by T or on foot, I don't think there's much parking)
Cons: Not open all day, but if you call he'll let you know when he's around
