Thread: Are there ever any large National Meetups?

I'm just wondering if there are ever any "National" or "Big Shave" type meetups?
Maybe I'm just looking for an excuse to go on a vacation!

Never heard of one but that would be something huh. I wish I could meet all my overseas friends too.

Never heard about a national but if your looking for a larger type this weekend in Denver. That's been going on for a few years now. Tc

I have been organizing a Seattle meet. This year is only the second one, but having fun doing it.

Question: What would you expect a "national / big" shaving meet to entail?

I personally envision a two day event having many vendors (both pro and hobbie types), a couple well known guests in the industry speaking or giving demos, seminars, and maybe a contest or two.

Just curious what other people would be thinking.

I also do the So. California meet and have thought of something like what you are talking about, maybe an East and West Coast events.

I attended the Kansas City meetup last October. Although the majority of the people there seemed to be from Missouri & Kansas there were people attending from the Great Lakes area, the Rocky Mountains, and the East Coast. In this regard I considered it a national event. There were opportunities to practice stropping and honing plus free samples and at least one vendor present.

Something I would not like to see is Youtube personalities.

There were one or two or more at Asheville, NC. And I think Lynn has had one or more bigger meets at his place. You should be able to find the threads if you do a little searching around on the forum.

Here in ohio we use the fair ground buildings for swap meets,gun shows, car/truck shows, ect.
Are fair's are held in Aug. &Sept. Just curious if other states are able to utilize thier fair grounds.

Well one thing is that you would not necessary need one hotel, yes that would be great but we would just need one center tall meeting place

Putting on a razor meet in Las Vegas would take lot of work and money for both the building and insurance. People would be deterred by the cost of transportation and lodging. The number of vendors who will send samples is large but very few will attend or pay for booth space. The crowd size wiil be to small to justify the expense.
Just my 2 cents ☺
