Thread: 8th National Shaving Collectibles Meeting

Just a reminder!

About a month remains before the 8th National Shaving Collectibles Meeting takes place in West Chester, Ohio, on October 15-16. If you’re still debating over whether or not to attend, now would be a good time to consider the reasons for attending:

People at the meeting speak the same language. You’ll never worry about putting attendees to sleep, as happens so often with inviting neighbors or the postman to see your collection. Even my wife finds my razor talk soooothing when she’s trying to fall asleep.

You’ll be tempted with great collectibles for purchasing: straight razors, safety razors, stroppers, hones, blade banks, blades, you name it.

There will be several short presentations:

The Early Years of The Gillette Safety Razor Company
Sebastian Sandersius from The Razor Emporium

The Gillette Safety Razor Company: A Marketing Powerhouse, Past & Present
Matt Pisarcik from The Razor Emporium

The World of Straight Razors
Lynn Abrams from The Straight Razor Place

Lunch is provided on the meeting day, as well as wonderful homemade goodies from Katie’s Kitchen (my wife). This in itself is reason for coming. And a wonderful Sunday Brunch at the Rosenthals’ to see my Safety Razor Collection - known to be the largest collection of safety razors in the entire West Chester, Ohio, area.

There is an informal dinner on the night preceding the meeting; goody bags provided by Schick Wilkinson/Sword; many, many tables for displaying, selling, and buying, and great friendships to be cultivated.

This meeting is for collectors only, whether seasoned or novice. It is not open to the general public.

I will be going again this year, if anyone in the GTA area want to catch a ride I have room.
