Thread: From Wisconsin

Hi! I also live in Wisconsin and like you I have been shaving this way for a couple of months. This site is great. Welcome.

Hello, James:

Welcome to Straight Razor Place. Yes, SRP will be enormous help to you. By the way, I live in the Milwaukee area and will be more than help you out, should you need it. You are more than welcome to send me a personal message.

Regards,

Obie

That would be great to have some kind of convention or show in Wisconsin. I also would love to see some artists work their magic. It is much easier to watch someone in person and to be able to ask questions on the spot. It would also be nice to meet some of the members of SRP in person as well.

My wife started a business last year in soap making and she makes her own shaving soap by my request. It is very good compared to top brands; however, it would be nice to be able to get some input to know what other types of shaving soap I can have her make. A convention would be a great place to do that and for other people to exchange information.

Welcome to SRP! It sounds like the bug has already bitten you... I have found, after a few years, that the only cure is to give in! I look forward to seeing your posts around the forum.

Baldwin Wisconsin? Cool! I live in St. Paul and my family has a home in Knapp where I go frequently during the spring, summer & fall.
Your less than an hour away from me and welcome to come to my home in St. Paul anytime. I do have a few razors and hones if your interested.
Another SRP member, Geezer, lives close to you & Turbine712 lives in Hudson, WI.
I will put you on my email list to be notified of the next Minnesota Razor Meet. Wisconsinites & Iowans are always welcome!

Thanks for the invite Randy. Thats great that there is so many of us around the area with a love and appreciation for the art of stright razor shaving. I am usualy in St. Paul once a week. I fly out of MSP just about every Monday. I also used to work at Ft. Snelling, Robinsdale, Roseville, and White Bear. So, I am pretty familiar with the area.

I appreaciate you emailing when the next Minnesota Razor Meet is going to happen. I would love to attend. Some day I would love to take you up on your offer to see some of your razors, or we could meet for a cup of coffee and talk shop. Also, if you are in the Baldwin area drop me a line.

If you want to see the full collection, I hope you have a lot of vacation time. You'll be there awhile.
