another honed razor!!!

Default Austin meet-up

Hey guys,
We have an active thread going on this forum "Austin TX informal?" We are shooting for a mid July Sunday meet-up down here in Austin so if any of you Dallas area shavers see this and would like to come down, chime in on the thread.

Default Holy Cr*p--Look What the mailman brought

Hey DFW guys,

I got a box in the mail today from ClassicShaving.com. The letter said that ClassicShaving was proud to support the North Texas group, and that I was the "big winner" from our meeting. I opened the box to find:

A Thiers-Issard Historic Shaving Box!!!!!!!!!

Check out their web-site under Thiers-Issard and you will see just how big a winner I am.

Unbelievable. Thanks to the fine folks at ClassicShaving.com. Everyone go buy something from them! Thanks to Dewey or whoever turned our names in.

Nice haul Statsdr!

Jockeys - I too am the proud new owner of a tub of wonderful ClassicShaving Lavender Shaving Cream.

I don't have that much experience with too many products as I had been using whatever soap I could lay my hands own for many years. Bought some Toms of Maine peppermint cream about a month ago and thought I was in heaven as far as lather goes..........now this ClassicShaving Cream puts that to shame. Not crazy about the lavender, but I am definitely ordering the bay rum.

Was a little hesitant to post the wide open THANK YOU to Classic Shaving as I'm not sure what they have done, or are doing, for other groups around the country.

Anyway..............THANK YOU VERY MUCH ClassicShaving! I love the cream!

Tony

Wink Down for whatever

I can be available virtually any time given enough notice and assuming it won't be much further away than Arlington. As my signature at the moment suggests, I have become consumed by Call of Duty 4 and have been neglecting SRP, so once something is decided, I'd appreciate a phone call. I'll probably keep an eye on this thread now, but either way, don't let me miss it.

Thanks,
Adam
