Hi,

Thanks so much for the day, Spike, Silver, Steve, Sandy & Makar . It was a great day and I learnt a lot (esp with the honing). Sorry I had to dash off early something unexpected turned up that morning. It was good to put a name to the faces and I will definitely be coming to the next one.

Thanx so much.

I'm right behind you mark. I've always wondered about shaving someone else...

Hi guys,
A great day, but didnt time fly, I could have stayed for another 4 hours and still wouldnt have got bored.
I was so impressed with the raffle, and being lucky enough to draw first prize was a real turn up for the books. I picked the T.I razor box and brush. Just have a look at the Classic Shaving website and add up what its worth, its hundreds of pounds !! It now has pride of place in the bathroom,and mighty fine it looks.

I learnt loads and everyone was very nice, you cant ask more than that.

All the best and once again, Thanks.

Another thank you to everyone who helped organise the day. I, like everyone I imagine, had a great time, learned plenty but the best part for me was a chance to meet more experienced straight shavers and discover that what I've learned here online and from teaching myself is on the right lines. Having someone test your razors and have the chance to get feedback on this is invaluable.

Sorry I couldn't stay for the rest of the evening, but I'm looking forward to next year's meet already.

Cheers,

J.

Put me down third in line, you’re going to be a very busy man at the next meet

Saturday was a belter of a day but it was too short could the next one be an all day affair someone suggested Glasgow for next year why not? but could we fill the SECC could I also suggest that it’s kept to the same weekend the third in September then we all know when it’s going to be and can plan towards it

Thanks Tony (portal 5) for the resto demo I’ve watched Bill’s CD but to see pinning done live makes a big difference, I’ll PM you about the 3/8ths

The same with honing I’ve watched Lynn’s DVD a few times but to watch an expert doing it in the flesh so to speak really brings it home to you thanks Steve( blue principle) great demo by a real gent

It was a shame that sandy (Sidneykidney) had to rush his presentation towards the end for lack of time as it was very informative

Last but by no means least thanks to Spike (Spike J) for the shaving demo a very brave man to do that in front of an audience

Big THANKS to Steve (Makar) for organizing the day and to all those that helped him to make the first SRP UK meet a roaring success

as you may have noticed by my never-ceasing moanings, i wasn't there, but i'd like to say thanks to everrbody that was for putting it on for everybody else. sounds like a great time was had by all, and i am 100% comning to the next one, tell me where and when!

Silver: you have PM.

Tink.

Hey everyone,
