They finally found a place (the railroad museum in Utrecht) to hold the barbers meeting. I'm not going to translate the whole thing, you can find all info here:
Dutch: Verzamelaarsmeeting in het spoorwegmuseum Utrecht | ScheerMuseum

Awesome! But I'm a little confused. It says "De Barbiersbeurs in het Maliebaanstation is gratis toegankelijk". And 2 lines below that it says "Wilt u andere verzamelaars ontmoeten, spullen ruilen, uw aanwinsten exposeren of een nieuwe aanwinst vergaren geef u dan nu op. Kosten € 12,50 te voldoen bij aanvang meeting". Does that mean I have to pay 12,50 if I intend to buy something? Anyway, looks cool and it's close by, so barring any unforeseen circumstances, I'll be there.
you don't have to pay to visit, only if you want a table to expose your shaving stuff. Mind you, that if you are just a visitor to the event you won't be able to buy, sell or trade anything! only the participants who paid and have a badge are allowed to buy, trade, sell products between each other. And that is in my opinion a rule that will result in many visitors finding the meeting not that interesting. But as I understand the rule was set by the location owners and not the organisators of the meeting.
Having to pay €12.50 to be able to buy something is stupid.
I'm curious to see who the self proclaimed Dutch honemeister is who advertises at Marktplaats.nl.
Still trying to decided whether this'll be worth my time or not.
So we have to drive all the way to Utrecht (for us, Belgians) to 'see' razors, but we can't 'buy' any...
But if we pay 12.5 € we are 'allowed' to buy from others who payed the 12.5 €...
Don't think I'll come then, sorry.
I couldn't agree more.Quote:

Circumstances permitting, I'll try to be there. Any special requests as to specific hones I should bring?

Very latest news omtrend this event.:
Hallo allemaal.
Een paar opmerkingen en wijzigingen wil ik jullie doorgeven.
Nog geen bevestiging gestuurd? Graag doorgeven of je komt en of je een tafel nodig hebt voor je verzameling i.v.m de tafels en stoelen die wij moeten huren.
De kosten vallen lager uit, geen €12.00 maar €5,- per deelnemer. Jan regelt de hapjes, ik regel de broodjes en het spoorwegmuseum de koffie. En er is een klein sponsor bedrag beschikbaar zodat de kosten lager zijn dan begroot.
De regel dat alleen geruild of verhandeld mag worden enkel aan deelnemers ( te herkennen aan de badge) is vervallen!!!!!
Tafels zijn 2.00 m bij 0.80m groot.
Afstand parkeerterrein - meeting ruimte 40 meter.
Meeting: Inrichten tafels en ontvangst 9.00 uur - 10.00 uur aanvang meeting - einde meeting 17.00 uur
Op bord in de centrale hal staan de activiteiten van deze dag.
Enkele deelnemers geven demonstraties
Lokale televisie komt opnames maken van onze meeting en de stationskapper van het spoorwegmuseum.
Ook de krant komt langs.

I would like to go but with all my vintage razors and hones lying on a table I would be unable to leave them unattended and talk to other exhibitors. All visitors to the museum will have access to the event as well. Talking to other straight razor enthusiasts is part of the fun.
Dat is mijn gedachte ook.
Anyone who visited the event? Would love to hear how things turned out, hope that the participants had a great day!
