Greetings,

The 7th National Shaving Collectibles Meeting will be held this year on October 23-24 in West Chester, Ohio. As you know, since its beginning in 2004, the Shaving Collectibles Meetings have brought together the leading collectors of shaving memorabilia from all reaches of the United States with the honor of having collectors joining us, from time-to-time, from outside the US. New and seasoned collectors rub elbows and learn from each other in an atmosphere of sharing and congeniality. Stories are told and new friends are made.

Last year, we were indeed fortunate to have the National Shaving Mug Collectors Association and The Straight Razor Place co-host the meeting. We not only had more people attending but, in addition, had the benefit of seeing some awesome collectibles on exhibit and learning more about what these organizations have to offer. We sincerely thank them for their participation.

This year’s meeting on October 23-24 will carry on the tradition of previous meetings: many tables of shaving collectibles for show and sale; several short presentations, door prizes, gift bags, informal discussions, and the munching of delectable home-baked goodies.

Several people, who are now regular attendees of the meetings, were previous closet collectors – not knowing the true extent of this wonderful hobby, not knowing other collectors, and not experiencing the joy of sharing their knowledge and experiences. If this is your ailment, we can help. Join us this year for a truly memorable occasion. Bring some of your collectibles for show or sale, acquire new items for yourself, and inject new blood into your hobby.
