A GTG soon around Louisville, KY

[fine wine]

What started out as just a couple of guys going to meet for lunch has turned into a small group going to meet for dinner. Of course the better halfs are not only welcome, but truely hope they want to join in. Any way all I can say for sure at this point is it will be on a Saturday around 5:30 pm. The place will not be to fancy or expensive. More info will follow, as of now there are 6 of us. Will give the final plans by the end of this week. So if you are interested let me know................JR

[IronHammer]

I am planning on being there. Might even bring some razors to trade, who knows! Looking forward to it.

[fine wine]

OK here are all the exacts. July 16, 2011. 5:30 pm, "Hubers farm and winery", it is a Saturday. If you are not sure were it is they have a website or you can contact me for an address or directions. Since there is going to be around 14 or more of us I will call and see if they can put us at one big table. If you have never eaten there you are in for a big surprise !!!!! They are known for there HOMESTYLE COOking and there home style charm. I think Iron Hammer raised a good point, I too will bring some stuff to BST. I'm also going to bring my camera so we can show what a good time we had...

[IronHammer]

I talked to my wife and we are set to be there. We may or may not have the kids, depending on babysitter availability, but we are looking forward to it!

I have never been to Huber Winery but I hope their facility is large enough to handle all of us. This should be alot of fun.

Fine Wine (I don't know your real name). Were you able to get a confirmation from 'strop'?

[HoosierTrooper]

I will be there.

[IronHammer]

Cool, Tom! I have been looking at your avatar so long, I wonder if you really look like that! haha!

[fine wine]

I'm glad you said that because I've wonder that since I first saw his avatar myself. Ha HA.........JR

[fine wine]

In case anyone is wondering this is not by invitation. Everyone is welcome to join us................JR

[HoosierTrooper]

Cool, Tom! I have been looking at your avatar so long, I wonder if you really look like that! haha!

Nope, not quite. Sorry.

[strop]

Thought I had posted here earlier, but apparently I didn't hit the correct button! Looking forward to this. I am disappointed though that Hoosier Trooper doesn't look like his avatar!:lol::lol:

[Ray Guy]

I would like to attend, if that's OK. I'm at the north end of New Albany.

[wilsonent]

Don't know my work schedule for sure, but I hope to attend. I am about 90 miles south of the Ville, but would love to come.

[fine wine]

The number has grown to 11 B&Ber's. This is getting better every day:a47:

[fine wine]

Strop has informed me that the correct website is http://www.joehuber.com (http://www.joehuber.com)not Huber farms

[fine wine]

Strop has informed me that the correct website is not Huber farmshttp://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&key=84af7ecc25510a8a4a20cbf566f90362&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fbadgerandblade.com%2Fvb%2Fprivate .php%3Fdo%3Dshowpm%26pmid%3D1693876&v=1&libid=1309880812332&out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.joehubers.com%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fbadgerandblade.com%2Fvb%2Fprivate .php&title=Huber%20Farm%20-%20Badger%20%26%20Blade&txt=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.joehubers.com%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F now what the hell have I done???

[fine wine]

Lets try one more timehttp://joehuber.com

[strop]

Both places look good! Same family???but the winery closes at 6, so I figured this had to be the place! Never been there before but looks good.

Mark

[HoosierTrooper]

Anybody bringing kids? My 16 year old daughter was asking.

[Ray Guy]

Anybody bringing kids? My 16 year old daughter was asking.

My youngest is 22 and she has plans. For that matter my wife does too. I'll be flying solo that night.

[IronHammer]

That joehuber.com site doesn't resolve for me. Anybody else getting it to come up?

My wife and I will be bringing along our 10 year old daughter and our 2.75 year old son. Couldn't come up with a baby sitter for the little guy for an entire day and evening.

[IronHammer]

Thanks, Mike. Is that at Huber Winery?

EDIT: Nevermind. I see from the info on their site that it is. They just seem to have two different websites..one for the restaurant and one for the farm

[fine wine]

Thanks from me also MIKE............JR

[strop]

I was a little confused as well, which is why I asked fine wine. The winery closes at 6, but doesn't even mention the restaurant at that website.

Kids are all grown. Am I the old man of the group?

[fine wine]

Anybody bringing kids? My 16 year old daughter was asking.

Bring her anyway, 16? she will fit in fine with the wivies

[IronHammer]

LOL! I am starting to feel like the "kid" in the group. But that's not a bad thing, because I'm 43!

[IronHammer]

Hey, here's an idea. Since they haven't invented Smell-O-Net yet, maybe somebody could bring along some Penhaligon's. I am dying to know what that stuff smells like. Whenever it appears on BST, it's gone in no time at all.

[IronHammer]

We'll see everyone there tomorrow evening. We'll probably be there early for the animals cuz we got the kids with us.

Later!

You're a week early, it's next Saturday the 16th. Correct?

[IronHammer]

Crap! I don't know how I got that mixed up but I did. Thanks Tom!

[ackvil]

There are two different establishments: Hubers Winery and Orchards and Joe Hubers. My brother-in-law lives in Georgetown IN and we visit him often. When we are they we often visit the two establishments.

You will have a good time. Wish I could join you since I will be visiting my brother-in-law - but we are leaving on that Thursday for a fishing trip in Canada.

When you're in Georgetown let me know, I only live about 10 minutes from Georgetown. I may even know your BIL.

Got the dates wrong. We are leaving for Georgetown on Tuesday and will get there on Thursday. Then we leave on Friday. I'll try to get in touch when we return. :wink2:

It would've been kind of funny to have not said anything to him...:wink2:

[IronHammer]

:eek2:

[colonel70]

I would be there if I didnt have plans. Oh well.

[IronHammer]

Sorry you won't be able to make it Mike. Have fun with the in-laws though! *LMAO*

[whavens]

I will be thinking of the GTG while I am enjoying my birthday concert. You guys have a great time and let me know when the follow up GTG is. I would love to bring some razors and the like for show and tell, swapping or just to tell lies about. Have a great time.

[IronHammer]

JR, I got to thinking. We will all probably be toting along a small assortment of things to show/tell, trade. Is there a possibility that Huber has a meeting room or gathering area for folks like us with "things" to set out?

[IronHammer]

Quick note -- If anybody has T&H No. 10 and you're going to be at the GTG tomorrow, could you bring some along? I have gotten into the T&H products lately and I would really like to know how this stuff smells.

Thanks!

[HoosierTrooper]

See everyone there!

[wilsonent]

Sorry, I won't be able to make it up there. I hope the gathering is well attended, and I hope this happens again soon. Have fun gents.

[Ray Guy]

Thanks to everyone at the Louisville Get-Together at Huber’s. A special thanks to Todd for his generous trade for the ‘53 president. I just finished my first shave with it and one of the 7 0’clocks. All I can say is fantastic!!

[HoosierTrooper]

Yeah that was a fun meetup. Looking forward to the next one!

[IronHammer]

I had a fantastic time! I plan to post a couple pics my daughter took when I get back home tonight. I'm really looking forward to the next meeting. Still haven't heard from JR. I sure hope he is okay.

My pleasure, rayguy! Glad you are enjoying the pres! I used mine again this morning. What a great shave. Those Super Platinums are really nice, aren't they?

[Ray Guy]

SPs ROCK! So does the Pres.

[strop]

LOML and I had a great time. We will definitely be looking forward to the next one.

Thanks to Hoosier Trooper for the Flare tip PIF for my son. It's older than he is!

Ray Guy, I'll be waiting for pics of that brush to show up!

Mark

[HoosierTrooper]

Loaded one of the 7 0'clocks (thanks Todd) into the 1918 Ball End Old Type and lathered up with the AOS (thanks Mark) and had a great shave to start the work week.

And yeah a picture of that brush is a must see!

Should I post it on this thread, or the Brush discussion? Either way it will probably be tonight, or tomorrow.

[HoosierTrooper]

Both threads.

[IronHammer]

Both threads.

+1 Agreed. People are gonna like that brush, Chris. It's a real dandy!

[fine wine]

I am so sorry I couldn't make the GTG. A family problem happened Friday, that required my immediate responce. Did not have time to put on a post. We didn't get home until today. If you guys are going to do it again please let me know...........JR

[IronHammer]

It's quite understandable JR. We were pretty worried about you but I am just very happy that you are safe and your family is safe. Welcome back!

[HoosierTrooper]

Mark, I used the XXX this morning and have to say I really, really liked it. Thanks again!

[Ray Guy]

These photos are of the President and my shaving stuff. The photos didn't turn out as good as I wanted, and I really should do more polishing of the Pres. Any suggestions?
(I just hope that this will post OK).

Here. This should work. You got the photos uploaded but they aren't quite linked right.

That is one seriously nice selection of razors, Chris! Did the Pres have any plating issues after cleaning it up?

[strop]

Glad to hear you're OK JR. We were just a little worried about you. For JR and others...WE WILL DEFINITELY DO THIS AGAIN. This was a lot of fun and the food was pretty good as well.

Does anyone else find it a bit ironic that all four of us pictured, all members of a traditional wetshaving forum, have facial hair?

Great collection of razors. Those display racks are even nicer i than they look in the pictures.


Mark

[Ray Guy]

Thanks Todd. Maybe some day I'll get the hang of photo posting.

There were only a few tiny spots that I can't quite polish out, but it shaves as good as my slant.

I thought the same thing about the facial hair! A bit ironic isn't it?

[strop]

And for the record, Tom has trimmed his beard a bit since the avatar picture was taken! :lol::w00t::lol:

Mark

[fine wine]

DARN!!!! looks like you guys had a good time!!!:w00t: There was nothing I could do at that time to be there, but I was thinking of you guys at 5:30 Saturday. If you all want to do it again this fall PLEASE let me know. If my dauthers don't try to kill themselfs I will be there!!!!!:letterk2:

It was kind of dishearting to see "HooiserTrooper" doesn't look like his avartar:sad: It doesn't have to be at the same place the next time, It may be fun to pick some place new, but I don't care I just want to go!!!!!................JR
By the way were are the pics of the custom brush handel everyone is talking about????? I WANT TO SEE, I WANT TO SEE!!!!!!!!

[wilsonent]

Glad to hear the GTG went well. Hope there is another one soon.


Jeff

[HoosierTrooper]

It's in the holder in the last two pictures. It is really something when you see it in person and can handle it.

[fine wine]

:drool: sweet!!!

[ackvil]

That would be great!

Glad to hear your meet up went well. My wife and I had to rush home after I cam back from Canada. We arrived on Sunday p.m. and left Monday a.m.

[whavens]

Glad everything went well. So who is who in the picture. Trying to figure out which one to watch out for if I am speeding down the interstate in Southern Indiana.

[IronHammer]

http://badgerandblade.com/gallery/displayimage.php?imageid=28272

Great question! Who are these people in the photo?!

Ray Guy (Chris) is on the left, closest to the camera. HooiserTrooper (Tom) is next to him. To Tom's left, is his wife, (sorry Tom, can't remember her name...is it Christine?) and next to her is Mark's wife (again, I am terrible with names and can't remember her name). On the right side of the table, in back, is strop (Mark) and I am next to him (Todd/IronHammer). My daughter took the photo with my camera phone. She is only 10 and she is still learning to hold the camera still! LOL!

[whavens]

I am glad to know you guys had a good time and it was such a success. Now I know who to look for when I am out on the streets and speeding. Will a bribe of razor blades do me any good? If so I will keep a couple of 5 packs in the car. Well in keeping with the group I too have facial hair, so it looks like we all are on the same wavelength. I have had my moustache since I was 18. I can't wait until the next one, had it not been for the best concert I have been to in years I would have been there. If you guys like late 70's type funk I highly recommend Here Come the Mummies. Thanks for the pics, I can't wait to meet everyone in person. I hope you all didn't talk too badly about me in my absence.

[JBagKY]

I don't know why I wasn't subscribed to this thread. I would have loved to have made it up but plans conflicted. Ok, I went to see Harry Potter that day in Lexington. Still, I would be very interested in going next time. I think that another GTG would be cool. I will make sure that I stick with this thread and any others that get started about another GTG. Looks like you all had fun.

[fine wine]

OK, lets talk about a fall GTG. first lets pick a date. I think October would be good. Not to hot, not to cold yet. What does everyone else think?..........JR

[IronHammer]

Hey guys, I have been away the last few weeks and ran into Mark (Strop) today. We both like the idea of another GTG but I pointed out to him that the 8th annual Razor Meeting is going on Oct 14-15 in Ohio (Cinci). Other than that weekend, I am open to the idea of another GTG. Same bat-time, same bat-channel (Huber's)?
