Thread: Asheville NC meetup ; April 26-27th

I have used the Yeti Morning Wood soap once and it was good lather IMO. The SRD lavender was good too The Pedal Pusher's Sandalwood and Strop Shoppe were great. The only soaps I did not get good results with were the SCS Blend and Tiki Blend. I have to to admit the SCS is like a time machine dropping me into my grandpa's bathroom. I guess an Old Spice scent. Overall, really happy that I won all the soaps and the thanks to all the vendors that participated. Thanks to the organizers-those both in front and behind the scenes. Thanks to all who provided lectures and demonstrations on this hobby. I am still processing all the information. I got to see so many hones, custom razors and methodologies. Overall, it was just nice to meet folks. You do not have to be there to sit in learn but you can just hang out. My favorite moment was at diner. I sat in the middle of the table amongst, for the most part, complete and total strangers. It was a table full of different personalities, some boisterous and others with the intensity of the sun. One I would say radiated a serene calm which centers the room. Another who I think is under tutelage in a Zen monastery, some how his master lets him out for a razor related meeting. I was just sitting, enjoying the vibe, people watching being one of my things. What better group of people to watch than those that sat at the table. No better than any other table there but due to a simple hobby the conversations sounded a sharp and resonate note in my mind. Everything else became atonal discord. No matter what I did learn a lot and wish I could have spent a bit more time listening and watching. A video on youtube is great, but it will miss something. When the next one comes around I hope I can make it.
