Thread: GTA Southern Ontario 2017 GTG

Amen to a good GTG and great weather for it.

Not in pictures cause we were too busy on the stones or in the kitchen, straightshooter007, and new member swifty2point0.
A great time with some good men, and awesome razors.
Thanks to phrank for letting me shave with his royal windsor Egyptian Ottoman, a once in a life time shave that shall be remembered.
And to Harrywally for the elder burl hunks that I cannot wait to work with this coming fall.
Bourbon, CDN whiskey, cigars, razors and pulled pork. Not a bad end to the weekend, and in my case, a weeks vacation.
Cheers men and thanks all for coming..

Got home safe and sound, Thanks MikeB52 for hosting us rowdies once again
Hopefully we can all get together again soon!
Thanks Orvillle for a great trade
Thanks Harrywally for the burl samples
Thanks all who attended for great time
Mike

Likewise. The scuttle worked a treat, though I don't think I gave it enough time to warm up. Lovely lathering in the bowl though. Used Queen Charlotte Fougere for a quick DE shave, and it was great to feel that warm soap gliding across every time I reloaded.

Finally got home myself. Had a great time. With some amazing dudes. Thanks Mike

I assume this is Chris(?) . . . hope your honing lessons will allow you to succeed with that blade, where I could not. Good luck.

Chris was swifty, Marty is 007.
Think he got some good exposure to some great stones.
And made a kicking potato salad I might add. . Apple chunks in there gave a nice sweetness and crunch. Thought it was a few raw potatoes at first, hehe.
Glad you liked your Scuttle, Mike's wife has them dialed in right nicely!

Sorry Marty, told you I was terrible with names . . . and yeah, that potato salad was VERY nice.

Thanks for the pictures and write up. Glad to see everyone had such a great time

Thanks Guys had a great time as usual. Thank you Mike for hosting and putting on a good spread of food and drinks.
I have to say one of the best things about going to the meets is just hang out with you guys. Knowledge is shared freely and honestly. Getting to try different razors, brushes, shaving soaps/creams, and aftershave is not something that happens normally.
Defenently a cool experience to not only shave with one of the rarest razors on the planet but to put it to a hone ( I was a little scared to do so, even though it was just to touch it up)
Good times boys we need to do this more often.
