Ha.!! Your just scratching the surface of generosity pal. Stick around awhile and youll see. We help each other here as much possible, and go over and beyond more often than not. Like a second family of sorts.

Hello and welcome to SRP!
You are very lucky to have a few guys in your area with boatloads of experience that are more than happy to take the time to meet with you. I'm positive you'll find a meeting to be interesting, valuable and fun.
Enjoy your straight razor shaving journey!

Hello Alex, welcome to SRP

RodB pointed me to this thread so may I extend an invitation to you to come over to my home any afternoon or evening for some 1 on 1 help with your straight razors.

RodB almost always joins in and I hope he does this time. He is very good at this. Rod and me have worked together on this for a number of years.

I will send you a PM with my contact info so all you have to do is decide the date and time. Please allow 3 hours for the first session and bring all your wet shaving stuff, straight razors- hones-strops with you.

I look forward to meeting you

There ya go...your in.!!

Hey Randy

I just found a couple of frowners I know you would love to hone.

Remind me to bring my electric lapping plate when I come to your place. That will take care of the frowns quickly.

With the SR shaving has become fun again. I have spent many hours reading about shaving and honing here.

Welcome from SE Washington State,

You have been given Two--count them Two Wonderful opportunities with being able to have what so many can only Wish For and that is One On One Learning!

Please take either of them up on their offer! You will learn more in a few hours than you can in Months and Months of reading and watching videos!

I speak from experience! While I've only been able to attend a single meet about 5 or 6 years ago in Spokane WA it was a real eye opener! When Glen would show something I could ask him to Stop--and Show it again and he would gladly do so!

Again, Please accept the offers of One on One Help! You will not regret it!
