Is A Shaving Meet Up Worth Traveling To?
I have been to a number of large shaving-related meet-ups, including “The Great Shave” sponsored by Merz Apothecary (smallflower.com) in 2011 and 2012, Maggard Razor’s meet-ups of 2016 and 2017 (and I will be there again this year!), and the last Big Shave West. A number of smaller events, too.
They’ve all been a ton of fun.
From the product perspective, you get to “sniff before you buy,” get a crack at just-launched products (and sometimes get a peak at soon-to-be-announced products), buy products at a sale price, etc. There is also usually a PIF/swap table, too!
And from the “camaraderie” perspective, you get to meet a lot of fellow-minded wet shavers. Lots of war stories, mutual advice and help, and general fellowship.
So, if you have the means, I heartily recommend attending a large shave meet-up!
