    You should check THIS out. There are a few members who have posted their location on there. Of course, I'm not from VA, but just thought I'd provide SOME help.

    Have a good day!

    I'm in Stephens City, near Winchester. Technically, that counts as Virginia. Someone once commented that they thought I knew a thing or two about straights.

    Take him up on it. Also I could probably give you a few (simple) pointers as well-I live in Portsmouth, work in Norfolk (Navy).

    thanks gentlemen i am definately gonna take yall up on the offer. I have been reading for a few weeks on here and me thinks someone is too modest (alan) and I would be honored to have you help as I embark on this edeavor. well no time like the present, I am currently awaiting my razor from gssixgun and for tony to get the starter strops ready to go. I would like to apologize in advance because sometimes it takes me a minute to get the info. well i guess i could tell yall a little about myself, I have been in the navy for 15 1/2 years, I am married with a knot head for a son and the saint for a wife (she would have to be to live with me). I am interested in single action shooting and gun collecting. I refuse to buy what I can make with quality, unless it is beyond my realm of cradftsmanship. I have been wet shaving for about 2 years went to DE's about a month ago and it just seems to be lacking in the feel to me, hoping straights are what is missing. I am a enthusiastic learner and must know everything about what I am doing which can and has drove some people nuts, I have been likened to a 3 year old (asking why alot) in my quest for knowledge. I just wanted yall to know what you are in for by accepting the challenge of helping me learn.

    Andy,
    I am in the Navy and will be moving to VA in a few months, we should have a SRP meetup next summer since so many are near that area. I will be in VA Beach April 21-25 drop me a line and I can give you some pointers when I am there. I will be stationed in Norfolk when I get there permanently.
