I had a good time at this years Asheville razor meet. It was well worth the drive from out of town to attend. It was great to meet new people, put faces with names from the internet and to see old friends.
The venue and organization were top notch. I am always surprised by how kind and friendly the attendees are at these razor meets. This meet had an abundance of vendors, kudos definitely need to be given to the organizers and movers and shakers of this meet.
I learned a lot at this meet. One thing that was interesting was the number of 1k hones being used. It kind of brought home the point that a lot of problems in honing can be traced back to the bevel not being set right. It is fascinating seeing the different techniques people used to hone. The brush turning demonstration was informative. It was good to talk to the klingspor man about abrasives, he knew his stuff and I learned a lot.
All and all, Big Thumbs Up,-----------when is the next one, I am looking forward to it.

Stropper and others. I found this.

No problem - my pleasure, but I admit that I suck at videoing.Quote:

With the energy and enthusiasm you gentlemen put into this wet shaving has a strong ally in furthering its audience base!
I wanted to remind a few people I met who are interested in coming to our Triangle group get togethers sometime, to PM myself, Robert Smith, lindyhopper66 or Joe Neer, nipper to get a feel when everyone is available to come some Saturday.
To all .....
It must be said that Kevin Adams is responsible for the success of this Razor Meet. His background in organizing other events like this is what made this possible. He put together a very good team and allowed us to do our part without micro-managing or heavy handedness. For me personally, at the age of 64, this was the best managed team I have ever been a part of. I look forward to working with Kevin in the future! :)
The drawing for the lather bowl will be Tuesday.
Simon passing his knowledge to Warpiper as he learns to hone.
