Thread: Wisconsin Fall Meeting 2019

WISCONSIN FALL MEET

September 27, 28 and 29

Location: Rolodave's in Caledonia. 25 miles north of the Illinois border and 4 miles west of Racine.


Time: We usually start early and go late.


Theme: Restoration and honing
Bring razors you want to work on and hone. There will be members with vast experience in these areas.
Each attendee should bring all the materials needed to do the work. If you need stuff you can't find PM me or ask in this thread if someone can help you.
I have power tools, belt grinder, buffer, saws.


Past attendees have stayed at the Comfort Inn. Reasonable rates, good breakfast, 3 miles from Dave's house.


PM me if you plan on attending.


Raffle: Bring a shaving related item to put in the raffle. I promise no hot peppers, corks or hot sauce this year.

The accounting firm of SWMBO has requested a voluntary donation of $20 per person to pay for table/chair rental, food, drinks, whiskey, etc.

I plan on attending. It's among the best meets!

Ok fine I’m convinced Victor, it must be good, and I don’t have a problem with the hot peppers Dave.

I will certainly be there.
This is not to be missed.

I hope to make it this year, at least part of the weekend.

This may be my last year attending the Wisconsin meet unless I ride with Vic from Denver. My son-in-law has received a job offer in the Denver area and will be moving there from Virginia in about three weeks. My wife and I have lived 900 miles from our daughter and granddaughter, so we have played little role in our granddaughter's life. She will be starting high school in August, so we are planning to move to Colorado Springs to be able to participate in her final years at home so we can get to know her before she leaves for college. For many older couples, watching grandchildren grow up is one of their primary joys, but it is one we have largely missed.

Thus, in the future, I may be attending the Denver meet rather than the one in Wisconsin. I do look forward to meeting Gasman and others out in the Denver area.

My father and I shall be there for at least one of days! I have a few blades needing a home, so this is an awesome opportunity to at least get some shaping done on the scale material languishing unused on my bench!

This is the list for the meet to date

Yes, I will be there!
This has been a very good razor meet each time. Lots of stuff to do and learn and some very good instructors with a ton of experience.

Plus, it has two of the best hosts you could ever meet.

Preparing Hose Strips

I have two hoses I want to run through the washer a few times.

Bring any you want to wash. If they are already pasted scrub them clean.
Bring clamps to hang them to dry.

The goal is to follow the kanayama directions as best we can.

Let me know how many you are bringing.

The Lye soap challenge

Find out if you are a real man!

Are Ron and Tim the only real men?
