Oldtime From Rochester,NY
Hello Gents:
My Name is Andrew AKA Oldtime, I chose oldtime because I'm a firm believer in what our founding fathers believed (enough on that).
I live in Upstate NY about 80 miles south of Toronto Canada in a town called Rochester or some like to say Rottenchester :-) actually I'm 27 miles west of Rochester away from the City life.
I have an Old ERN that I acquired from a guy I work with, he said it was his father in laws. I am in the process of honing the dings out of the blade. It's rather difficult for 1 it's my first Straight Razor and 2nd the Spine is kinda warn down, so being a beginner I'm not sure if the angle is correct. I am very much a self taught person and pretty stubborn in this area but at the same have very thick skin and can take just about any criticism.
I spent some time in the Marines and some time after the Marines on special security details, now I live the Simple life with my wife and 4 children.
Well thats me in a nut shell Nice to meet everyone here, I'll be firing off a ton of questions so please bear with me.
ThanksLast edited by Oldtime; 11-01-2010 at 12:12 AM.

Hey Andrew. Welcome to SRP. There are quite a few of us in and around Rochester, so local help never far away. If you'd ever like to have a sit down, just shoot me a PM and we can set something up. And keep an eye out for Rochester area get-togethers. There are usually a few per year, and they are always a great time and a great learning experience.

Welcome Andrew to another Rotten Chester area native. East side of the city though. Good luck and take Holli up on his offer, He's a good resource for the region.
