Thread: Chicago Wet Shavers Get Together

This is an awesome get-together. Sorry if you missed it, hopefully they have another.

Absolutely a lot of fun and a gala event, in all very cool. Lots of fellow enthusiasts to meet, free adult beverages, hors d'oeuvres and cool exhibitors tables too. A splendid time was had.

Just left, and can honestly say I had an awesome time. So many vendors! As Lynn was saying, so much eye candy! Goody bags were awesome, too!


Seriously hope we get to do this again!

JUST RUB IT IN!!!

It was great rubbing elbows with my fellow shave geeks and the icons of the shave world. The free scotch and food was nice too. I'm sorry I didn't get to meet more SRP folk-this event was huge. It was great meeting Lynn.

I wish I could've gone. They need to have something like this in the South East Quadrant. Atlanta would be an ideal spot and they have plenty of venues that could host a large event with style.

The event was great! Clutch Cargo said it best:

Absolutely! A HUGE THANK YOU to Abdul, J. Q. and T. Q., the owners of Merz Apothecary in Chicago (www.smallflower.com) for sponsoring this incredible event yesterday evening at the phenomenal Palmer House Hotel in downtown Chicago! These fine gentlemen were a pleasure to meet, and their generosity in sponsoring and paying for the entire event (including food, wine, fine chocolates, live music, vendor presentations and demos from numerous shaving product vendors, and a bag filled with great samples and give-aways) without charging the 250+ attendees any admission fee whatsoever was a gesture of generosity beyond belief. Another advantage of making purchases at the show was the 11% discount that Merz offered on all product purchases!

Meeting and talking with both GeoFatBoy and Mantic59 in person was both enlightening and encouraging! GeoFatBoy even gave each of us one of his bandanas that's become his trademark in his YouTube videos!

Clutch Cargo purchased a new Edwin Jagger razor that he'd been admiring for quite some time, and had the box with the razor in his hand as he walked around and talked with other attendees and vendors. He was bragging about the high quality of the chromed finish on the razor to one interested gentleman in the crowd, only to find out later into the conversation that he was Neil Jagger, the founder and owner of Edwin Jagger who had flown to Chicago especially for the event! What an honor to meet him as well.

A second round of well-deserved thank you's go out to Abdul (who's owned Merz Apothecary since 1972) and his sons T.Q., J. Q and G. Q. for making this such an enjoyable event for all of us!

Thank you Lynn for your great presentation and making this an awesome gathering. Lastly, Thank you SRP community for making this such a great event!

This was an awesome event! I'm glad I went.

Speaking of Lynn Abrams, Geo and AQ from the Great Shave Chicago get together!
