looking for a mentor in western washington area
I am getting deeper and deeper in to straight shaving and would like to talk to someone face to face about shaving, razor choice, stropping, etc. There are many members on SRP, but I have yet to meet another Straight Shaver. Makes me feel like I am alone. :shrug:
Yakima, walla walla, portland
I'm thinking about going to the Spring meet, But I north of Marysville in Washington, some 200 miles away from Yakima. Being a struggling collage student, I can't just go such great distences without my making my wallet suffer. I do go down to Portland from time to time (have friends in Battle Ground, Wa) so Maybe next time I'm in the area I could get ahold of someone in the area.
I was trying to strop a razor today. Is the razor supposed to make this dull ringing sound when the edge comes into contact with the strop? I was wondering if I am pressing to hard?
