That is a good plan, a meet up with experienced shavers and honers is a really great way to get a good start.
I myself are a wee bit too far away to help I'm afraid, but in addition to any replies in this thread, do check out this page from our wiki:
Local Help - Straight Razor Place Wiki
Perhaps you'll find someone in there that might fit the bill:)
Any of us that are listed there, are willing to help out if at all possible, so feel free to contact any of those who are close to you.
In addition to that, do look for meet-ups that are being held in your general area, chances are, there might just be one planned in the not so far future.
Good luck
We have had a couple of meets in the Houston area in the past year. One at Bob Allman's and one at my place. Str8Shooter and I are talking of another. Maybe in the fall. A bit of a hop from Killeen, buy hey! It's Texas!
Birnando is ALWAYS wecome too! :D
Tom
Hey guys,
I'm just working through the meetups forum and adding things to the calendar. You might get your idea in front of more eyeballs if you push it in your sig file. I'll keep an eye on the thread here; if anything gels I'll put it on the calendar for you.
Check out Glen's Pacific Northwest thread--he used the survey function to decide a date. Much cooler than the multiple posts I used for the Denver one!
Good luck and best wishes.
I live north of Paris, TX & could show you a thing or two. Do you have stones yet?
Cooling off a bit. Let's start thinking about a meet. We have lots of Texas guys. My place is avaliable.
Any thoughts as to dates, etc? Paul? Bob?
All Ears,
Tom
;)I'm in. Should I bring one of these for you?Attachment 109193
Ha! Thanks, Dave! That would be swell! OK, Texas boys! Bob Allman, the awesome custom maker is in too! If anyone sees another from around here, direct them to this thread! The more, the merrier! :D
Tom
I grew up about an hour south of Houston, still visit about once a year. I'll be following this just to see if maybe it happens around the time I pop down to visit my dad.
Yea, last time I fell for that I woke up in a hotel bath tub full of ice and one kidney missing..
I'm in and I'll provide overwatch on the kidney. LOL Let me know the date you guys decide. The earlier the better.
Paul
Hey guys! Spread the word! Houston Meet! Lessee how many are interested................:popcorn:............... .....
What day Tom???
bump... c'mon people....
Thanks, Paul! OHTAY! Thanksgiving will be upon us soon. I got the next 2 Sat's filled, but have some Sundays for a few weeks. Then it is between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I am thinking directly in between.
Any thoughts to this? We need a bunch to make it work! Mebbe YOU, (Paul) could get with Bob and see if Charlie can come and bring some guys south as well! Let's make a plan! Tom
Sorry it took me so long to get back to this. I'd be interested in meeting up, too. I'm inside the loop, but I'm willing to venture out.
Stephen
I would love to attend. I live just inside 610 in Houston but I am willing to travel to meet up.
Bump again!!!! christmas is coming people!! lets get this going!!!!!
Paul
Well HEY, Paul! I am thinking mid-January would be best. Seems a lot going on for everyone at this point. I will start a new thread soon entitled "HOUSTON mid January MEET" then we can PM everyone and get some attention going in order to set a date.
Thanks, Buddy!,
Tom
I'm up for a Houston meet.
I think I passed Paul's smell test. Lol.
Have any of you guys tried using the SRP Member search screen?
http://straightrazorpalace.com/memberlist.php?do=search
Fill in the location field with tx, texas, dallas, houston etc. Just one at a time. You seem to have a couple hundred names.
I'm hoping this gets going well. I'm nowhere close for the next 3 years or so, but I hope to get back home real soon. "American by birth, Navy by choice and TEXAN by the Grace of God!"

We are born with it...
I grew up right on the coast an hour south of Houston. Along the coast just south of Galveston. I miss it.
Any progress on this yet? I would love to meet up with a few other SR users.
HA! I was thinking about this the other day. Things have been a bit hectic for me. I had initially proposed hosting something in Jan, but that is obviously far behind us!
I can host. Let's get it talked up!
Again I'm in!!
Might be my old age, but aren't those dates Saturdays? Either way I'm good with them.
I'd like to be able to attend, have y'all decided on a date?
I'm good with the 3rd as well.
OhhhhhhhhTay. 3rd it is. I shall PM BobAllman and see if he can come! If you guys know or see anyone else, Sign em up.
The more, the merrier!
I'm in. At the shop Tom?
Best place. Kindof "mancave" I suppose. We need attendees. Look at locations when you see posts. The more, the merrier. I PM'd BobAllman. Have not heard yet. We had Lynn down a few years back. Perhaps?? I will have chairs and more tables than last time (Those tables get filled!) looking forward to it!
