Hello, a new shaver from Syracuse, New York

hello, I am looking to get into straight razor shaving. I told my girlfriend this and she bought be a razor form amazon for Christmas, it didn't turn out to be a good razor and it was very dull. however I am not discouraged i am now looking to buy a better razor, especially because i now have all to the accessories needed. I did have one question, is there anyone in CNY that can hone a blade (just for future reference). This is a great place and I have been reading a lot and it seems like a great community with a lot of good information, I am very happy to be a part of all of this.

Welcome, look at the classifieds under member services, lot of guys from the north there.

Thank you, that should really help.

Welcome to SRP!
so what did you get? i've seen some good razor available through there which is why i ask.

there are a couple members just over by rochester that offer honing services

enjoy,
jim
