    Welcome to SRP.

    Take a look at the Local Help page of the wiki/library. If no one is close to you, hopefully someone will volunteer.

    The how to videos by Lynn, posted various places here and also on YouTube, are great tutorials, as well.

    Also, if nobody is near you in the local help section, be watching for a meeting near you at this link:

    http://straightrazorpalace.com/get-togethers-meetings/ . It would also be a great place to get hands on help.

    It looks like there are 2 razor makers and several senior members in the Michigan area, so you might be in luck though I don't know the geography of the area.
