    Default What about mentoring a newb?

    As a newb that first str8 shave is only a delivery away, and I got to thinking.

    Has anyone considered setting up a mentoring programme?

    I think it would be great if there was some way of hooking up with an experienced str8 shaver locally who was prepared to help with advice, tips and technique.

    I realise that all this information is available on this forum, but there is nothing more easily understood than a good demonstration and explaination. I suppose ultimately it is the 'father roll' that years ago existed, but is now no longer present.

    This idea would be a LOT easier if everyone put their location on the Google Map! Then we could see who was where!

    I've also placed myself on the map, so to speak.

    I've mentioned before, we could mentor via web cam too.

    That's not a bad idea either.

    I was thinking help with stropping technique and honing. I guess the shaving itself is pretty much grasp the basic concepts and go and practice.

    I'm on there now. I was surprised at how many people there are! Looks like a good number have taken the time to add themselves. Looks like a whole lot of people on the east coast too.

    The SRP meets are a good for this as well. They even do "How to Hone" sessions, which would be really good hands-on.
