Thread: Northern VA Meetup?

Hey all! I'm up north of gaithersburg, but I could travel anywhere within reasonable distance to the beltway! Time may be difficult but I would love to talk razors with folks other than my wife! She simply doesn't find them that interesting! I also would like a chance to have someone look at a couple of my first attempts at honing and offer any advice!

Cool! Well hopefully at some point, with this thread keeping some traffic, someone will volunteer and host us It definitely can't be me though lol.

I just want to have some folks look at my old Sheffield razor, see my first honing in person and maybe even tighten the pin on my razor. If not, I'm going to pay someone from Member Services to completely restore and get custom scales.

Here is a link to the SRP member search screen. Just fill in the location field to see who is in you area.

Yup, I knew about that already. The people I tried to get together with, have been too busy. I'll keep trying I guess... but I hate being pushy if people aren't really interested.

Your best bet is for you to set a date & location that works for you. Then start a thread like this one and then send out the Pm's and emails. It is best to start with a small group and be sure to post a lot of pics. It helps build interest for the next Get Together.

Good luck,

Yeah that all makes sense. But I cannot host one. No space or resources. Plus I rather it be someone that has been doing it longer and has been a member on the site longer, who most likely knows more people.

Does anyone in our area have a decent place for a meetup? Sometime late in January may work to let everyone get through end of the year family obligations! My home cannot fit people but I may be able to use my place of business. I just kinda prefer not to! (Also it is way over near the Redskin's stadium...)

I forgot who hosted last time. LegalBegal or someone else... Check the Virginians group. You'll see the pictures. I'd check now but I'm on mobile

Any idea of how many people might show up for this if it is Montgomery County? I have no idea if we are talking about 4 enthusiasts or 40.

Well, you could count me in! Maybe we need a running tally on here to find out!
