Welcome to SRP.
Take a look at the Local Help page of the wiki/library. If no one is close to you, hopefully someone will volunteer.

Also, if nobody is near you in the local help section, be watching for a meeting near you at this link:
http://straightrazorpalace.com/get-togethers-meetings/ . It would also be a great place to get hands on help.Last edited by Quixoticshaver; 09-04-2015 at 01:04 PM.

It looks like there are 2 razor makers and several senior members in the Michigan area, so you might be in luck though I don't know the geography of the area.
