A conclave sends like a great idea. Maybe we could consider an eastern conclave and a western conclave for those on the left coast. I would certainly be interested in a weekend road trip if I thought I could meet some of the other forum members and see some of their razors, hones etc and learn some new techniques.

I would also be willing to help host at our local country club. We have a number of large meeting rooms where everyone could meet, greet, eat and be entertained. February or March would be a good time to get away from the winter weather. The weather here in Charlotte at that time of year would be cool but not cold and we have no snow to speak of. It may be a good weekend trip to consider. Lots of reasonably hotels, good restaurants and perhaps a round of golf could be arranged. Just a thought of course and I would also be open to something a little more central or even north central if the majority found this to be a better plan. Give it some thought folks and maybe we can get something going.
