Thread: London 2010 Razorcon - Its ON!!!

Hi everyone, and thank you for a great experience, I hope we can do this again soon. It was fun meeting all you gentlemen and learning more about how to hone, and thank you stubear for getting the new Dovo Bismarck i bought there shaveready. I shaved with it today and it was a fantastic shave.
I also want to thank D.R. Harris for having us, Stubear for arranging it, and everyone else that attended for making it such a good evening.

I have to say, even after all our trouble getting home(see janivar123 post over) it was still all worth it and mostly great fun... apart from the 8 hour wait at stanstead that is hehe

ohh i see I almost forgot to thank for the stone I was given, I am ashamed to say I dont remember the name of the gentleman that was kind enough to give it to me (abit of alzheimer going on maybe hehe) I havent had the time to try it yet, but I will as soon as I can. I also want to thank for the shavingsoap I got as a giveaway

I gave you the stone. I hope that you enjoy it. It's probably similar to a basic Thuringian, and should be a great touch-up hone until you develop HAD. hahahaha

If we can't can't enable one another, then what good is anything?

Binge: If you every need any emotional support when you're twitching in a Belgian gutter, frantically rubbing a curbstone and looking for a deep purple slurry, then don't hesitate to contact me. I'll bring you whisky and get you to a warm hotel to sleep it off.

I arrived back home in Oslo today, and finally have some time to post my impressions on our Razorcon in London this Saturday.

I must say that this was a really nice experience. A bunch of great guys who was sharing their knowledge and experiences.
Lots of really cool shaving stuff to see as well. I had only seen 1 Charnley Forest before this meet, now I think I have seen all the others in Europe

I would like to say thanks for a wonderful time to all you who attended this.

And a special thanks to Stubear for arranging it, to DR Harris for having us, and the nice gentleman from Dovo for presenting some great stuff.

A thank you to all the contributors to our raffle as well, that was fine prices and great fun to be part of. I can confirm that the strop paddle thingy also works wonderfully as a pillow on the plane

I took a few pictures with my phone, and will of course post them here soon.

Tonight though, I will be having a go at the Nakayama stone Stubear was kind enough to let me borrow. Thanks Stu!

I am sure this was my first razorcon of many, I had a wonderful and educating time.

Hopefully the guys who used proper cameras will post more quality shots.

First, the venue from across the street



Stubear is the one behind the counter doing some honing.



The other side of the store, where all the stones were displayed. The grey-haired guy laning on the counter is the Dovo representative.
