Yay, sounds like the Maggard meet was fun!
I hope to also make it there one day.
Self control is an August thing, were still in April😉
Yes. It was fun. This was my first time going. They guys and the vendors who have been there many times make it feel like more of a reunion.
Going to Adrian, MI from Switzerland would be quite the trip. Adrian isn’t in the middle of nowhere, but you can see nowhere from there :)
I drove past it on I90 a couple times, not understanding its significance.
I only met with three fellow internet shavers IRL, but it also felt a bit like a reunion. We do know each other already
I was there primarily at the urging of VisceralWatch. We spent quite a while talking, and I’m glad he convinced me to go.
He is the social butterfly of Wetshaving😅
I met him a bit over a year ago
Yes, he mentioned that to me and that he enjoyed meeting you IRL. He was very generous with his time with me. It was he is part of a large group of shavers who enjoy reuniting at the event. There was a lot for them to catch up on.
