HI!

I am new to shaving with a straight razors. I have a Dovo 5/8 and I have been stropping it as I have read and observed on several youtube sights and as I saw it on Lynn's DVD about straight shaving.

I still wonder if I'm doing everything right as I don't want to mess up my razor. The more I read, the more I see how vital good stropping is.

My question is this: I would love to have an "expert" observe my stropping and let me know if I'm doing it right or wrong.

Is there anyone in the Washington DC - Baltimore - northern Virginia area that would be willing to work with me on a one time occasion, to see if I'm doing this part right?

Thanks!

Stephen
