Thread: New York City/ Long island meetup

Im.on.my way

I can't make it, got stuck at work, sorry guys. I'll definitely make the next one.

For those of you who are new to the location (as I was yesterday, during a brain fart in which I thought the meetup was Saturday rather than Sunday), I found a map on another thread that highlights where the building is. 1500 Palisades Ave in Fort Lee is only part of the equation -the picture below from Mvcrash was helpful to me and hopefully you'll be able to find this reply if you find yourself in front of 1500 Palisades wondering which apartment to ask for (it's a doorman highrise and is not the actual location of the meetup but a landmark near it).

Here's a map, hope you find it useful

Sorry guys I won't be able to make it. Family stuff came up and I can't get away. Have fun!

I didn't manage to find it. I know it had to be right there somewhere but at some point frustration won out.

Had a great time meeting everyone, very collegial, informative and supportive atmosphere. Got some great tips, even picked up 4 straights while I was there.

Good times! Wish I had more time to spare today, definitely looking forward to the next one!

It was nice meeting with every one today. Hope to keep in touch.

Had a terrific time. There were a good number of new wet shavers and those with greater experience and skills freely offered help in a wonderful sharing atmosphere. There was very kind of razor to put your hands on and feel, from kamisoris to high-end works of art to Ebay beaters. A couple of tables devoted to honing. Saw kangaroo strops and a demonstration on how to make the perfect lather. A friend from across the pond make a generous contribution of time and razors. Thank you Binardo. Thanks to all those who shared their skills and education.

It would be wrong not to thank Airportcopper for his work in putting this together and thanks to the Ft. Lee PBA for letting us use the Range House.

I'm looking forward to the next one.

Guys, it was a pleasure meeting almost all of the members lol

I admired the work of bayamontate pretty much all morning. He definitely knows how to hone a razor.

Also thanks to JoeLowet for showing me how to properly get a good lather going.

The only thing I forgot to ask was how to properly strop but at least I got some tips from the guys, hopefully I will not smooth the edge again.

Thank you everyone and I can't wait for the next meet.
