Unless I'm out of town, I'd be happy to join the fun. I can even carry most of my razor collection with me. :D

I'm in for sure. Date and time are fine with me.
I thought we would use the responses to this thread as a sign up for a tally. We will meet in Brea, my backyard patio, will hold at least 30.
I was planning on some Bratws.
If you are planning on attending please post.
I will PM all who respond, details as we get closer to the date.
I only have (2) Str8's what the minimum required....LOL. :roflmao I'm in barring any unforeseen circumstances.
A couple of weeks ago Shane (RoyalCake) and I met at my home for some honing pointers on a couple of razors that were fighting him. I made some suggestions on his technique and tuned up his hones, rounding corners that may have been causing some chipping and Introduce him to film honing.
Yesterday I received this gorgeous inlet, purpleheart razor box that Shane made.
Thank you very much, Shane.
I stuffed it with 4 of my favorites, a Vintage TI - Spartacus, Clauss - Persian, Hammered tang - Cmon and No. 79 SRD
Thanks again Shane.
Looking forward to the LA meet the second Sunday of January 2014 12-5 PM.

I will send the details to all who have responded to this thread after the First of January.
I will be planning to attend...looking forward to it.
P.S. What's the agenda if any? Just basic fun, and show and tell, or...???

Yes unfortunately I didn't get around to thanking Marty on the forum yet but his help was priceless. I think I may have actually been doing some damage at the higher grits due to some edges I had on those hones.
Like everyone says here - meeting up with someone more experienced is invaluable.
You're very welcome on the case - the least I could do!
Shane
As far as agenda, I have a variety of stones and film in case anyone wants to try different stones and mostly just show & tell.
If anyone wants help on anything special let me know so we make sure to have anything we will need.
5 hours will go pretty quickly. I’m looking forward to it.
Bring your latest project or problems.
I still have it on my schedule. I can bring Nanawa stones. I have several razors to restore. Still trying to manage my time to get to them. Was hoping to have 2 done by now but work is relentless. This past week I decided to hone all the new to me razors to see how they shaved. They all took a great edge. I shaved with two Wade Butchers already, just sweet shavers. Up tomorrow is the Spike. I think I now have pictures of them all and will post.
I can also bring a small anvil so those who want to practice pinning can give it a whril. Maybe some one has some practice scales?
