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!
