Thread: Older member who's still struggling....

Dear people-My screen name is Gearhead222 and I am looking for a local mentor in Austin, Texas. I have tried, for 4 years, to learn razor honing on my own using online help and mentors, but just not getting it. I taught myself to straight razor shave about three years ago and my main problem is setting the bevel . If there are any Austin, Texas members willing to do some one on one mentoring, I'd really appreciate it. Regards-Gearhead222

Here's a list of users who list Austin, Texas as their location

Thank you sir-Gearhead222

Meets are also a great place to learn hands on. Keep your eyes peeled for one that is a nice trip.

And thank you too sir!-Gearhead222

At the risk of seeming churlish, I'd be curious to know what you've been doing to set the bevel, seeing that that seems to be the underlying problem.

Again, I'd like to work on my honing with a local mentor in Austin, Texas-Gearhead222

Unfortunately, it looks like only two of those are active.

I know it may be a long shot, but if you could stand an about 2 hours 34 mins drive to Houston you could hook up with Tom, aka Shaptonn. He knows how to get a damn fine edge.

+1 on a Meet... When all else fails, organize your own Meet at a Restaurant, Shop, etc and then work the site here or other online spots and get people to come to you.
