    I'm another newbie who has watched this site from a distance for a while( sort of intimidated by my ignorance of a tool I've used for twenty some years) . Started shaving with my great grandfathers Boker Red Injun 101 when I was in my twenties(way past that now!) but until I found this site and all the useful tips and info I really didn't know what a great shave was! I also didn't realize how popular a subculture it was. I thought I was just a throwback to mountain ways. Lynn's honing wisdom has been a light in the darkness and Straight Razor Designs has some quality goods I never knew existed! Although I've suffered from RAD for years I didn't realize how many others have the same affliction! Nice to be part of the community.

    Thanks, Especially from your location. My folks were Gregorys that ended up here around the time of the clearances.

    Default Help is available

    I'm a little further south than you are (Smoky Mtns. area.) but I'd be willing to meet up with you and see what I could help you out with. (no charge of course). There is another member here that's a little closer to you (wadepatton) I don't know him but I've read a lot of his posts and he is seriously into some honing and restoration also. I'm pretty sure he's from Tri Cities area. There are a lot of helpful folks in this community don't be afraid to ask questions. Oh and just because they might be junior members doesn't mean some haven't been at this a while. They are just new to the site. Welcome to the dark side you'll like it
