Anyone near Issaquah for a quick lesson?

Just placed an order with Larry over at whipped dog for a Dovo "Colonel Conk" 5/8 Razor and shave soap assortment as well as a DE for my gal as well as one silvertip and one pure black badger brushes. I have a sandalwood starter kit from AoS (Brush is already falling to pieces) and a horsehide strop on order from amazon. Oh yeah, and a styptic pencil, i'm sure that will be handy.

So are there any experienced shavers in the seattle/Issaquah area who would be up for teaching a lesson on straight razor shaving?

don't live in that area but I got Lynns cd when I purchased a razor from SRD everything you need to know and you can play it over every step of the way,, and as for the AOS brush falling apart , they stand by their product send it back I have 2 and never have trouble with them good luck have fun tc
