    Default 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.

    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.
