I laughed when Simon walked in, because up until the day before, I had been planning on driving the car up, and wearing one of my kilts on Saturday. They get a bit breezy on the bike, though, so when my wife decided she needed my car, I had to wear pants. Next time I'll be in one, even if I have to change into it when I get there. So next question; anyplace to get decent haggis in Ashville?

Looks like you all had a nice time and nobody really even resembled a Trekkie

Many years ago I lived in Murphy. Played all over Buck Bald, etc. Anyone from around there?

Mustache Wax: The Peppermint Mustache Wax

Fine Aftershaves: Good smelling stuff!

Again, I really enjoyed having a chance to geek out with SRP again. Thanks to all the organizers for their hard work!

There are so many thank you's to extend that I will not mention names at this time for fear of over looking someone. It would take me a full web page to cover all of them.

What can I say? it was better than we hoped in every aspect. Lynn, Ron Randy, Charlie & Richard you guys sure did your part on showing the new and old people an idea or two about how to take care of their gear.

It was good for me to be able to put a face with a screen name, to be able to just sit and talk about the one common denominator we have (Razors) As for me it is a passion more than a hobby. To be able to learn from others is always a BIG + for me. I feel that this helped get my information level up quite a bit.

I want to thank all of you for taking the time to come and share your knowledge and just hang out. I know it cost you to do this. I just hope you got as much out of it as you had hoped. Thank you for posting the pictures and helping at every turn when ask, for sharing you knowledge with each other.

I do want to personally thank 4 groups of people, once again I am not listing names – You know who you are.

1. The group that came in and help set up Friday night. Without your help it would have been chaos on Saturday morning and this old cowboy would have had a stroke doing it alone.

2. The group that stayed to help put everything back together Sunday night. I am still in awe to think about the miles you still had to drive but stayed and helped when you could have driven away and did it all with a smile.

3. The team that worked behind the scenes to put this together. You all pulled off the impossible with only 2 months and 2 days you worked together to have the biggest meetup ever.

4. The donation Jar – Nipper and Warpiper went over the receipts of the out of pocket expenses for the event coffee, paper towels water, Ice, etc those expenses were covered and there was $95.00 left over. Nipper will be sending this amount to the Warrior Transition Unit (WTU) at Fort Leonard Wood MO. To further their cause and help a wounded veteran.
(Joe, Would you put a letter in with the check, Please tell them this is a small token of our thanks for what they do for us and sign it Asheville Meetup 2014)


I also want to thank Tucker Garrison our brush turner from Brevard NC. that came in with klingspor he was willing to let guys have a hand at turning and made some wonderful brushes for us to see. Colman, Fourshee GM for Klingspor. We would like to thank you for coming and showing us your line of produces. I know after talking to the guys at the end of the meetup you made quite an impression. We hope you enjoyed being with us as much as we did with you.

I will post a few pictures later, but am going to back out now, going watch the post and not hog the thread.

Thanks again

Kevin

Michael, the first thing I did when I got home was try to order some of that Lockhart's, and they're out of stock. It's great stuff, though, thanks for letting me try it!

Hello all.
I would love to start naming names. Since it looks as though Chris has covered it very well, Thank you Chris!!
Thanks to all for making me and Margie feel so welcome! Thanks to all that worked to make the meet a huge success.
Thanks for the friendship that will last a lifetime for sure. Thanks to everyone that we were blessed with having dinner with, both Friday and Saturday evening.
Kevin and Joyce thanks for being such awesome host and hostess.
With all the thanks i will say that 12+ hrs. on the highway gives a person a lot of time to think and to ponder.
So I will say that the next brush that I make will be in honor of the Asheville meet up.
I will call it the Asheville Brush, Joyce's design.
Joyce was so very grateful for a hostess gift of a Kabuki makeup brush that I had made for her. I will always remember her reaction when she received it.
So in honor of the moment and the meet it will thus be called.
It will be different than any brush that I have made to date as far as the design. It will have a great similarity to one of my latest.
But different. It will be a while before I am able to give it a start but be watching the brush form.
Thanks all for reading. Thanks all for the great meet!!

Ray

Hey Ray, Joyce here.

Oh my goodness, I don't know what to say. I am so honored with your kind words and having a brush made by you, in my honor! I was so overwhelmed the other night when you gave me the one you had made for me! When I was asking you questions at the meet earlier that day I had no idea there was one for me. I actually was going to tell Kevin later that I would love to have one. They are so beautiful and feel great on the face! Thank you so much! I can't wait to see your design! Have a great evening my friend!
