Thread: Asheville NC meetup ; April 26-27th

You guys were awesome fun and I learned a ton too. The amount of cool loot i came home with was astounding. I made so many new connections and friends it was really such a great group of guys. Special thanks to Warpiper/Chris and Hidestoart/Kevin for really doing so much to make this happen. When we do this again I would be more than happy to help in anyway possible.

Some favorite parts from this weekend:
- Lynn's presentation and Q&A was so helpful. (I will have to take you up on that offer to help perfect my "circle method"). Next time i'll bring some cigars
- Randy's demonstration on the 'rolling x-stroke' and also the reconditioning of the edge shape on the one you made too on sunday. Very cool stuff
- Rick Boone's PIF and demo with lapping films - I'm going to try them out tonight actually! I can't say enough positive things about this guy, thank you for all your help
- Stropper/Richard for repairing the heel on my project razor and explaining the cause and effect of the hone wear on the shoulder. Also that blade holder is brilliant! Lets build some this summer!
- Scouthikerdad/Aaron for letting everyone practice and learn on your stones. I put on a great edge and shaved with it last night - so awesome and thanks so much for your help
- Moosiker/Mike for getting me hooked on about 10 new soaps and creams - shaved with the "Strop shoppe - barber shop" last night and you're right - its so good, total faseterbation.
- The girl (forgot her name) who came by Sunday to represent Shapton and graciously let us play with the pile of plates she brought... and then Simon shaving her boyfriend.

I just wanted to say, I had a blast and can't wait till the next one!
