Save a Bavarian Creme for me. If you need any of your razors worked on bring them down.

Looking forward in meeting all of you gentlemen tomorrow.

Anyone having any trouble finding the location drop me a PM and a phone number and I'll call you. Otherwise, see everyone there!!

Thank you Jeff for putting the meet together, as always, a nice time had by all. It was great sharing honing prospective with Birnando, the Suehiro 20K is awesome, as is the Norton barber's hone.

GAP did two razors on his own, bevel set to finish, he looked comfortable playing with JNats and nagura. Tarkus' table strop is awesome, definitely on my wish list. Cool seeing everyone, looking forward to next time.

Great time at the meet!! Thanks to everyone, especially Mvcrash, Baymontate and B! I learned more about honing in 10 minutes than I had watching all the videos. The razors, strops, and accessories you guys brought were awesome - I have some catching up to do . I am very much looking forward to the next meet.

I had an awesome time today.

Mainly I enjoyed just talking to the other members, talking razors and shaving. Watching Nelson and Birnando was, as always, a great learning experience. Great to have a little one on one lesson from Birnando, a true master, and to see a couple of the new guys just learning the basics.

It was the best that I didn't bring any of my stuff and just got to focus on chatting with and learning from others. The Suehiro is a great stone that I will have to pick up one day. I'm also really excited to get my zulu after trying out Anthogia's stone.

Thanks to Jeff for being a great host again, and to everyone else for making this meetup a great time.

Thank you so much Jeff for your gracious hospitality, You are way cool brother. Thanks to Birnando & to Bayamontate for showing us mortals exactly what we still dont know about honing, You guys make it look so effortlessly. Thanks for the insight.
