I would love to attend. I'm completely new to straight razor's and have failed miserably in my first attempt to shave (probably because the razor is not shave ready when I thought it was). I'm now shopping for a hone but hoping someone could help me get it shave ready first and walk me through the basics before I invest any more money. A meetup to go over everything would be great! I am willing to travel a little bit but prefer San Diego county if possible
