I am a female trying to learn how to do a straight razor shave on men in San Diego, CA. I have been trying to find someone to help coach me, but it seems like either I cannot find anyone who can actually do a decent straight razor shave or I find people who act like its some big secret. ( I am so excited to find this forum!) I went to school to be a barber, but everyone knows how much you actually learn in school, right? Especially, since not a lot of places offer the shave anymore due to sanitation reasons. Anyhow, Does anyone know ANYONE in sunny San Diego that would be willing to help a girl out? I know that I will learn a great deal on this forum but... I need all the help I can get.

Right now, I am using disposable blades. I was told in school that it was state law. I am also using a hot lather machine, The Art of Shaving products, and lots of other stuff. Honestly, I have everything. I just need some skills!

If someone knows any good books, DVD's, ANYTHING will help. I am very eager to learn.

Thanks,
BossLady
