any experienced shavers in Las Vegas, San Francisco or San Jose?

Hi,

I don't know much about shaving with the straight razor. I bought a Parker Shavette. I've shaved a few times with it. I cut myself, mostly, but I no longer feel it is dangerous. I hope to visit my Mom in California and Las Vegas. I will fly to Vegas, tomorrow evening, from Grand Forks, ND. Does anyone live in any of these three cities who might be able to meet up with me and show me how to shave with a straight razor and I could grow a few days beard and try it in front of him and he can correct my technique?

Thank you!

Louis
