Thread: Asheville NC meetup ; April 26-27th

I like the soap idea. I'll bring some soaps, some DE blades, and if anyone cares, some moustache waxes. I'm really looking forward to this!

Java,

Glad you are coming and bringing the Moustache wax. I just ran out of firehouse and was going to order some. However with you bringing some, this will give me a chance to see what else there is out there. what do you find is your best holder?

Warpiper has a great idea with this one. He and I have found that the same soap acts totally different between our water type. I am blessed that I have a deep well (600') solid granite with sweet water. I am sure I will be sending lather water home with him.
While I was out in K.C. in January I found that my creams and soaps did not work as well as they did when I was home. Of course it is heavy limestone out there.

As Warpiper stated I would also encourage people to bring water samples from home and see how a soap they try during the meet up works with their water.

I'm on a community well. Drilled right into a limestone bed. Really. Water was 21 on the hardness scale. Got a softener. Notice a difference in water but not huge difference in soap. Maybe I should retry a soap I had earlier dismissed...
Thanks everyone for all your help and participation to make this meet a reality.

Sorry to hear you won't be able to make the Meetup. But thank you very much for letting us know it makes planning much easier.

rickboone / hidestoart,

Gentlemen, you will notice that this is my first post on this forum. However, please know that I've "lurked" around SRP for nearly 2 years before creating a login account. I largely credit this forum, and a "little" additional internet / youtube research, for allowing me to dive into the world of straight razor shaving and for helping me find creative ways to drain my bank account.

Not to be long-winded, but like many others have posted on here in past threads, I suffered from years of redness and irritation from cartridge shaving. However, those experiences came to an end after the first three months of consistently using a straight. By no means do I consider myself a "straight-razor-pro," nor would I ever be so arrogant and ignorant to claim such after having only spent just under two years exploring this world and all it has to offer. As such, I would thoroughly enjoy an opportunity to join all of you gentlemen for the Asheville Meet-Up. Do you have room for one more FNG?

Best regards,

ShavingSnob (Brian)

You bet we do! I look forward to meeting you.

Do you have any questions about the Razor Meet?
