Thread: I need help from experienced razor sharpeners and maintainers

So, I put in Virginia and it comes back with 92 members. How do I know which ones are close to me and which ones are experienced honers?

Refine your search by using your town/city. It would help if you put your city/town under your name. Local members then know to contact you with one-on-one help.

This forum was/is built by experienced members helping those who need help.

Thanks, all. Some comments on the last few posts.
-- I never intended to say or imply that I wouldn't follow advice. Sorry that I gave that impression.
-- Thanks to the tips to finding a mentor, that would seem to be my best approach.
-- In trying to combine techniques, it appears I used the wrong ones at the wrong points. Consequently, I probably took a good blade and made a bad one out of it.

Been there done that

Wet shaving with a SR is a long journey. Getting everything right and all the stars in alignment takes a bit of time.

Don't get in a hurry and only try what you are comfortable doing.

Ask questions.
