Hi everyone my name is Russ I'm new to the community as well as shaving with a streight razor. I found this place googling shaping for streight razor in Minnesota, so glad I did find this form to. I guess from reading the post from Google I'm looking for a member with the name that has dance in it and lives in St. Paul MN. I look forward to chatting it up and learning tricks of the trade from some great people
Hi. Welcome to Straight Razor Place!
Thanks so glad to be a part of the community :jedi: I can already tell I'm gonna learn a lot super excited.
Welcome to the forum. Take a look at the beginners section and the library. There is a wealth of information there.
Good luck and enjoy.
There are quite a few of us in the Twin Cities area!! randydance062449 and I have done a bunch of newbie honing lessens over the years. We are both in St Paul
Welcome to SRP. Be sure to mine the wealth of info in the library.....before making any purchases! It will steer you in the right direction, and prevent some possible mistakes. There are a lot of knowledgeable folks here, so ask questions. Watch the B/S/T razor auctions. Even if you don't buy anything, it will give you an education of the straight razor world. Have fun.
Yes if your in the St. Paul area you are golden. Randy is one of the most respected guys when it comes to being knowledgable in all things razor, plus he gives freely from his time, a class guy. Tc
Welcome to SRP!!!!

Hello Russ and welcome to SRP.
Getting in touch with Randy, (forum name : Randydance) will be well worth the time and effort. He is a walking encyclopedia of all things straight razor, and one heck of a fine guy.
Enjoy your time here on the forum and have fun learning.
Pete <:-}
Welcome neighbor. I am in Woodbury as well. I also met with Randy and Rod this spring and highly recommend that. Nothing like getting one on one teaching from some really experienced guys.
Thanks Pete and hello neighbor Alex. I was a little tired last night and couldn't figure out how to message someone direct but I did email him and await his reply. I am truly looking forward to learning as much as I can anyway I can
One thing I'm really interested in and didn't see a forum for is a thread on edging and trimming. I work outside in wadena mn for about an hour each night so for movember I start my face sweater for the winter months and would like to learn about neck lines and face shaping. If anyone has experience I would like to pick your brain. I'm full on learning about shaving properly from videos and what not. Lost my pops when I was 16 he was a streight razor guy
Welcome to the forum. :)
Thanks :smile:
Welcome to the Forum Russ, glad to have you on board.
Thanks. I honestly can't believe how friendly this group is i love it minnesota nice I try to live by
Welcome to SRP. If you have mentors in your area that is very fortunate.
Thanks. I totally agree, mentors are priceless. Streight razor shaving is an awesome trade skill my grandfather and father both shaved with streight razors.
Hi and welcome aboard. Im sure one of the locals thete will help set you on the right path. It can get confusing with all the information available so its great to have someone guide you through with good solid advice. Good luck getting started.
Thanks eddy. Yeah I'm already exsperincing info overload lol
Best advice is dont over buy or over complicate things. Just stick with the basics and get that right. Once you have the basics down you experiment and will actually know if its good or luck
