To the house of Oz :)
I put out some feelers in the Down under Forum to see if anyone was interested in a get together. http://straightrazorpalace.com/down-...-catch-up.html
So far had about 10 PM's from guys willing to travel from as far as Coff's Harbour, on ya Baldy :)
If any of you international jetsetters are passing thru Sydney on Sept. 3, 2011 please let me know & I can give you my address. Sorry for the late notice. I never thought it would go ahead. LOL...
I wish!!! I could get some Kite surfing in also!!!!!Quote:

Maybe it needs a shave?
Man, I wish I could come! Have a big time and......get it on......Tom
Well, the meets over but the momentum was hard to stop. Something like a Bondi tram for any Aussies who know what that means .:) I think the SRP members outnumbered the B&B members but if you consider most of us have dual citizenship it was close to equal.
7 people turned up from the expected 10 or so. Not a bad attrition rate.
Awesome get together with an awesome bunch of guys. Lots of exchanges of gifts & information & much manly talk of manly things. LOL...
I can't believe we gasbagged so much we forgot to stop for lunch :roflmao Ah well the potato chips kept us all going :)
Topics ranged from hunting, archery, swords etc... etc... & of course straight razors.:p
I only managed to take one shot of Baldy explaining the birth of his Mutant razors but I know he snapped a few shots too so will wait for his contribution. I'm sure he has an embarrassing pic or 2 to add .LOL...
Left to right Haisam (SRP) MDunn(dual citizen) Glynn & (B&B) Baldy (dual citizen)
Hiding in the background were Anthony416 (SRP) & Higo (SRP) & of course me taking this pic:)
Wish i could have come too! Damn W.A.! Why dose Perth have to be so far from all the other cities!
Well probably because it's in Western Australia, making it physically impossible to be anywhere near the Eastern States, where all the cool people live! :p

Yep, it was a great day. I've never been in a room full of guys who dig razors as much as me. It was awesome.Grant
As Oz mentioned there was a mix of SRP and B&B members there, and what a cool bunch of guys.
There was plenty of knowledge and experience to be shared as well as gifts. Oz was even generous enough to give me a razor he had restored. Cant wait to get it home and use it.
Personally I learn a bunch just by hanging out and listening to these guys, particularly Sensei Oz.
For a newb or the more experienced guys I highly recommend attending any get-togethers you can. Not just for all the education you can gain, but also for that feeling of brotherhood that comes with it.
Here's a couple more pics

Thank you to our host Oz for sharing your house and your knowledge with us, and to all the boys for coming and making it a very cool day. Well worth the 6 hour drive each way ;). I'd love to do it agian.
Was good to hang out with you fellas.. We'll have to do it again!
Thanx to everyone for coming & making the meet such a blast ! & a big THANK YOU to Grant for having the presence of mind to take some photos... Unlike yours truly :)
I realized you had a lot of fun.
Such meetings are very helpful.
Thanks for sharing the pictures!

Great photos, wonderful get together gents!
'Worth looking through the thread just to get a visual for the honorable Oz.
Those that attended know. For noobs, Oz is one of the greats in honing & resto, and incredibly kind to ignorant students, such as myself. 'Glad you guys got to get together. I'll be joining a few other mutants in Spokane later this month for similar revelry.
He's got less hair than his Avatar would have you believe hey pinklather?! :p
Mick
That's by choice Mick not by nature. LOL...
Man...this looks like a fantastic get together:tu. Makes me want to move down under...better yet: Oz...I am moving in with you brother :w.
Thanks for sharing
LOL... Wonder if council will let me open a live in honing dojo :roflmao
A Sydney council let you do anything(without a backhand payoff that is)? You're not snorting coticule dust are you?
Sorry this is late and also sorry for my non-attendance, would love to be part of the next one, keep me posted. Looks like I missed out on a fun day. Look forward to meeting some fellow downunder enthusiasts next time around.
Cheers
Elliot
I'll PM & announce in this forum for tha next episode :)
