1st Annual Straight Razor/Wet Shaving Convention

[bpatton]

I'd be in for Chicago. Make it some time after the summer though so I'm in the area.

 

[Lynn]

Looks like we are set to have this super event on Saturday 10/20 at the Hampton Inn Chicago River North in downtown Chicago. All vendors are welcome to contact me or Charlie Larman to get signed up. We're working on getting a link for you to get rooms. I'll probably hang out Friday night and the leave after brunch Sunday. We will be having presentations, vendor displays and hopefully some shaving and honing demonstrations and assistance. All other forums are welcome to participate with us and enjoy this event. Feel free to let us know what you would like to see or hear about as well.

Start making your plans now.

Special thanks to Charlie Larman for his help on this project!!!!

It's great that you could make this happen! Should be great! As always happens, some people will have other committments at the chosen time, but if you waited for everyone to be available, we'd be doing this in 2012!!

(BTW, I won't be able to make it due to previous committments ... ... but everyone have fun!!)

I have my company's senior management meeting beginning on 10/21 but I'll be in Chicago. Wouldn't miss the opportunity to be at the first one!!!

 

[AlBaron]

I work in Merchandize Mart, so count me in!

I'm thinking this would provide a great opportunity for a whole lotta selling a trading action between members. Imagine - no shipping costs, being able to see the other guy's stuff, and instant gratification....

+1...another excuse to stay at the In-Laws!!!

Someone should contact the few Barber Shops, there in Chicago, like T&H at 900 N. Michigan.

Nice work setting this up, Lynn.

Do you know if there would be a significant group discount on the room rates?

What is it your asking? Where did you post a question?

 

[Arthur J Cummings]

My original posting was an answer to the discussion on a get together of the Straight razor guys and/ wet shavers. I beleieve I did it in the last week of May

Is it on ?
Where ? and When?
Do you need an invite

Thanks for asking, I appreciate it. I notice there seems to be a dialog between a lot of the members who have known each for a while. I've picked up a lot from their Q, and A's. Perhaps I should log some time before I ask too many questions.

Yup, it is on for Oct 20 and no, you do not need an invite. I will be attending for sure and I hope all you guys show up!

Now all I have to do is find a hand truck (dolly) that will haul 400 razors and three grocery bags of hones!

Well, Chicago. But I have to ask. Did you actually READ the post Randy linked to? Especially this part:

I do not mean to come off as obnoxious, here, but I am a little confused.....

[Arthur J Cummings]

I asked where because I missed the latest post. I saw one post in March and thought the whole deal t was still tenative. I'm also new at this.
Thanks for the response.
