Southern California Straight Razor Get Together

heavydutysg135 · 01-27-2008, 07:45 AM

I am interested in organizing a small straight razor get together in the Southern California area and was wondering how many people would be interested in participating. My tentative plans are to hold it on a Saturday afternoon (the date is still undecided at the point) in either my home in Los Angeles (Rancho Palos Verdes) or the Recreation Center in my housing complex. The activities will be partially dictated by the size and composition of the group that attends but some of my plans include food, drinks, straight razor/hone show and tell, buy/sell/trade, product sampling, general question and answer time, honing lessons (beginning or advanced topics), and maybe some other fun gentleman stuff like cigars, wine, scotch, etc. We can add or take away activities depending on what the group wants. Right now I am interested in finding out who would like to come to this type of event, when you would be available, what other activities you would like to do, what specific topics if any you would like to learn about or teach, and of course your contact information. I will update everyone as more of the details get finalized.

Thanks,
David Polan

I would absolutely love to, but my responsibilities are such that I am chained to the San Diego area! If I can find a way I will be there otherwise S.D. would be better for me!

I am very open to holding it at a different location as well, but first I need to find out who is interested in attending and where they would be comming from.

I might be able to make it there from IN. I need to be in the San Manual area sometime in the first quarter of this year.

I'm in Orange county and would be interested...any location within two hours of driving is fine with me.

I come into the office near LAX most Saturday mornings, so your location is perfect for me.

I live in Riverside and I'm interested although I'd like it better if it was a bit closer. All your ideas appeal to me except the one about wine. Sounds like it would be an afternoon well spent.

Hi --

I'd be interested too. I'm in the Pasadena area (Sierra Madre), but I have a car and I know how to use it. One snag is that I often have a work schedule that runs opposite to much of the workaday world, but I'll take my chances!

Keep me posted.

Cheers,

Roger

Awsome! Pasadena is not too far at all. I added you to my list and will keep you updated when I get the details finalized.

I'll be there. Just keep me updated on where & when. I'm out near Ontario (roughly 70 miles east of PV) but it sounds like the drive would be worth it. Thanks for putting this together!
