Shaving 101

Shaving 101 made its formal debut at the first Central Texas Gathering of Wet Shavers on May 17. Many thanks to those that made it out, we had a great time! Thank you especially to those who took the time to make the long trip in from out of town. This was just the first of what we are planning to be many future gatherings.

We started off the weekend as soon as Lee Cantor's plane touched down in Austin on Friday. I couldn't say enough good things about this guy, and I am honored that he took the time to travel all the way from New York to visit with us. Plus, check out the luggage this guy drags around with him...

First thing Saturday morning, crazy wet shavers started showing up at my door to get their hands on the goodies. Here's our pre-lunch gathering around my kitchen table:

New shave gear makes a man very, very happy!

After Texas-style BBQ, we made the journey downtown, where Charles and Jean Roberts opened Enchante especially for us. Charles had a lot to share, and I presented a Hydrolast demonstration on how I build a wet mix using the Shavemaster brush. Charles also offered a presentation on advanced-brush techniques.

Everyone was given the opportunity to explore the great selection of fragrances, soaps, and shaving goods at Enchante. Many thanks to Charles and Jean for taking the time to host our group on the weekend and offer us some great presentations on shaving as well as a chance for some after-hours shopping.
