Discussion of the Week: “The Big Shave West 3 Recap”
The Big Shave West 3 was a huge success!!
For those of you who are not familiar, the Big Shave West is the largest Wet Shaving Meet-up in the country. It has been held at The Old Town Shaving Company located in Pasadena California for the past three years on the third Saturday of April.
This past Saturday I was fortunate enough to make the trip to Pasadena from Florida and attend the event. It was truly amazing! I was able to meet some great people in the wet shaving community some of which I speak to on a regular basis but have never met in person.
The Big Shave Best was Awesome!!
I’ll tell you about the whole event!

Training Tip of the Week: “How to Shave with a Straight Razor”

- You can get by without stretching with safety razors but it’s very important to learn the proper way before switching to a straight razor.
- Here is a video of how I do it J
