L.A. Encore?

[pipskicks]

I live in LA, go to LBC a decent amount, we should set up something.

Then we should guilt BullGoose into letting us see his stuff :)

[darkxshiki]

i live near by Pasadena. would be cool to meet people and exchange ideas and tip face to face.

I'm now just in LBC all the time, anyone around here feel free to PM me if you are close by...

I live in Van Nuys and would love to get together for some beers and conversation. Let's do this guys.

[pipskicks]

Maybe someone can think of a good spot? I got to finally subscribe to this thread with one comment/week lol.

Castaway in Burbank is a nice place with an amazing view, we could enjoy while chatting over some beers.

Torrance is close to LA, and I can't think of a better place to have a shaving meet-up than at an awesome store like this one. Plus we can show off with our own "Pasteur Pharmacy" type thread :)

I know this hasn't move forward in a month, but I had emailed BullGoose about the possibility of a local pickup for an order, and I guess they're not quite there yet... so maybe that can happen in the near future, but otherwise I thought it might be cool to maybe find a spot to meet up to get straight razor shaves, and/or grab some dinner or drinks. I live in the valley (not the deep valley), but I know there's a bunch of restaurants that are wine-friendly (i.e. free corkage), so maybe there's a local spot to meet up, get a shave and have a beer, and then grab some dinner and drinks and shoot the breeze. I'd be happy to find a restaurant and provide some vino, any good reco's for a shop to meet up at first?

I have yet to find a place with a good shave.

Have you guys tried Art of Shaving?

I've been reading some reviews via Yelp and different locales have variety of feedback. Most great and couple not so stellar. I'm curious myself but don't want to give up $80.

Been to car meets but never shaving meet perhaps a first would be in order.

Hey guys! If we ever do a meetup I'd be more than happy to show up! I live in Whittier but work in Rancho Palos Verdes so anything between that is good. LBC, Torrance, LA whatever

AoS is definitely nice, but I don't think it's necessarily worth the money (more of a special occasion thing, and probably not good for a group).
There's a cool place in Santa Monica that was a great guy's spot, but they're not doing shaves anymore... I've been looking for a good local place for a shave, everywhere I go seems to leave me disappointed!

I agree. It's hard find a shop nowadays and a Barber. Try NewLine Cuts in LA. I've seen those guys get it in. Whether it's Taper, Fade, Faux-Hawk, Gentleman's cut you name it.

like the screen name s204. I have a modded bugeye.

Missed those subie meets. I was in Napa back in '09 with the RS guys. Was one with WRB 06 STi. Good meet n drive too until I wrecked lol!

This meetup seemed to be waiting for BullGoose, but I think his shop will take more time than was first anticipated. I know WCS is a drive from me, but I don't think it's over an hour with no traffic. Or we could just meet up somewhere else, if people want something shave related supposedly there's a store around me (Long Beach) that I still haven't visited that sells Pinaud wholesale :)

We should get a meetup going, I think if we scheduled somewhere within 20 min. of LA we would have a lot of members that would be able to show up....

Maybe if we get enough people a vendor could bring items out just for the chance to make some sales out of the tons of members we will have at the LA meetup? :)

Did anyone make it to West Coast Shaving today? I managed to swing by just long enough to blow $100. Lots of soaps and creams for me so I am set for a while. It was fun to browse so many products. Everyone there was very nice and helpful. They even had free gifts for buying customers.
