SYD Sun 16th Aug - Sydney Social meet

[SydBJW]

Was a great meet up. Was glad I finally got to meet @borked in person. Some very impressive stuff on display, especially two vintage razors.

Thanks to Con @shavetheman and Douglas from PAA for the samples provided.

Thanks to @Monsta_AU for organizing.

 

[SydBJW]

These are the two razors I am talking about, the member found both in the wild

 

[borked]

Reiterate what @SydBJW shared
Look forward to the location those that attended agreed for the next meetup

May just see a few new faces here, a Dutch and Austrian gent from a recycling company expressed interest in what we had and were swamped with wares to sniff and hold.
One of the staff is a DE user and was intrigued enough to break protocol and discuss it with us.

@Monsta_AU This is the Vintage Blades brand brush you were looking at (good value brush IMHO), their webpage is:

Was great that @filobiblic made it with his broken foot, big effort

Thanks mate. I can't have you meeting without me can I? The beers were cold and the company warm. Here's to next time. [emoji482]

I think he could manage without you
What say you @SydBJW ?
Need @filobiblic there to hold your hand, or are you a free man ?

I too enjoyed sharing a beer with @Monsta_AU, even if it was only on a psychic level

Yeah, nice razors - you found them in the wild @borked? What is the one on the right?

I think I can manage on my own

Always great to have a meet up.

Vintage Pils.

 

[eggbert]

I thought that was a type of beer

Wow I thought only @Mark1966 had toggles....then again is it a bottom dial? Pffft....

Well, I strongly suspect the Pils will be a mild shaver and was going to loan it to a Mark, yet not a single Mark graced us with his presence
Ahh well, someone, albeit somewhat hesitantly, had the chance and has borrowed the Toggle.

I have to admit, I've not heard of a bottom dial Toggle, only the 195/bottom dial fatboy/prototype.

Hmmm...well only the seasoned collector such as our Mark or a seasoned dreamer like me can have such things. We have it all here in Canberra.
Yeah I think it is a bottom dial Fatboy I've seen, but in defence of my call on rarities in the wild I think I did see a 5-dial toggle....might have even been in gold....and growing out of the head of a winged horse..

 

[Mark1966]

Yes @stillshunter it was a bottom dial fatboy and a serial numbered 1-5 toggle that graced your presence. Along with a chrome and normal one.
