Thread: FNG from eastern PA

Hello all
like a few others I've read I've been lurking on this site for quite some some time and decided finally to sign up.

Im im from the Lancaster area of PA (Amish country) and been shaving with a straight for about 3 years now. Started with a merkur DE since my disposables were causing the burn and in growns. Natural progression and general fascination led me to the straight. Started with a shavette and graduated to a dovo perlex and expanded from there. I've recently become increasingly interested in honing and restoration projects (much to the disapproval from my wife).thank you undream and maggard razors for the videos perpetuating my fascination.


This site is a wealth of knowledge and I look forward to picking your brains

Welcome, we have a few eastern PA members. I myself am from around Hazleton. I frequent your area and went to school at Stevens trade. Have you been to country knives yet? They have some nice stuff albeit a little pricey.

No not yet. I've recently moved here from schuylkill county. Still learning the area.

Really? I'm a skook native who transplanted to well I'm still in the skook lol. I grew up in Ringtown and Shenandoah.

Welcome. I am from the Reading area. Hit me up anytime. I have restored a few, and have quite a few more to go.

That's awesome I grew up in schuylkill haven. Small world

Reading is quite close. I'm in the new holland area

Hi and welcome. Ed

Not too far away. Add me as a friend and keep an eye out for a meetup. A few of us had a meet at CI in Hamburg a few weeks back, and are game to do another in the future. Lots of good guys.

I had a chance to meet Jseiler today. He came into my shop for a high and tight and to shoot the sheet about razors. He has all the signs of a real straight razor junkie. In other words, he's one of "us". I'm sure that his experiences and resto-work will be of value to us all.
