Been lurking n reading for a while and finally decided to take the plunge and join (in truth, not being able to search did me in!)
I live in north central NC about 10 miles from the VA border.
I'm 63 and retired so I have the time required to learn honing, stropping and (last but of primary importance) SR shaving.
I just bought a BIN razor off fleabay to learn honing on. I'll start with sandpaper on glass initially but got a Raven Barber Hone to keep things happy once I can get a razor sharp.
I also BIN a box of parts to try my hand at refurbishing on. Here's hoping there's a gem in the bunch!!

I'm a tinkerer, technician and love to fish!!

Thanks for the excellent website. It's a wealth of information and knowledge.
