Friends and fellow wet shavers; it’s time for a get together of the Greater Pacific Northwest wet shave enthusiasts! The 2nd Annual Seattle Shave Convention is happening Sept 19th atFados Irish Pub. We are trying to get together fellow wet shavers from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Northern California, and Western Canada. Anyone and everyone is encouraged to attend. Last years event was a lot of fun and think we can step it up a notch this year. Join us Saturday, Sept 19th, at 11AM at FADOs Irish Pub. Fados’ features a full menu, full bar, and a great beer selection. I have scraped together a website for a central point to reference updates and FAQs. www.seattleshavecon.com Directions : Parking : Lodging Join your friends for a fun filled, educational afternoon of all things related to razors and shaving, finally meet all of the people you have been chatting with online, and meet completely new shaving enthusiasts. Some of the topics covered will be honing, stropping, maintenance of your equipment, restoration tips and tricks, loading a shaving brush, lathering a soap… you name it we will probably have someone there who can help. Bring your razors, your brushes, your loom or whatever it is. If it's shave related we want to see it. Show it off or get a second opinion. Make us jealous. Bringing friends who are interested in encouraged. You do not need to be part of a forum to attend. This is about bringing the community together, not creating differences. Selling and trading is allowed and encouraged. Keep up to date with the latest and greatest news of who is coming to the meet, what goodies you will get to see and what is being raffled off.

Quick update on the Seattle meet-up. After some issues with trying to get ahold of Fado's I have confirmed our reservation. They are asking that we meet a "minimum" as far as food and drink goes, so drink up and have a good time. In other news I have started the donation drive and have very positive responses so far. First confirmation is from Captain's Choice
A big thanks to Luxury Barber, LA Shaving Soap, iKon Razors, BlueBeards Original, and Classic Shaving for donating items for the 2015 meet give away. Pics when I receive the items.
Looking like we are getting a fairly good response for people showing up. When we get closer I will do a roll call and see if we can get some rough numbers. BTW, here is some more of the goodies for the raffle: A big thanks to: Captain's Choice Luxury Barber Mama Bear Soaps Simpson Shaving Brush Los Angeles Shaving Soap Co.

More support incoming from: Executive Shaving Fendrihan Ogallala Thanks to the vendors for all of the support!
Awesome! I just wish it wasn't in downtown Seattle... I may try to scope out the area first if I decide to come down.
Just think of it as a cross-cultural experience. It will be an adventure! Just remember, don't drink the water... you could get "Chief Seattle's revenge"...
