It's finally here, I am putting on my tux with tails getting ready to head out to BSW3! We since it's gonna be about 90 degrees in Pasadena, I will just settle for shorts and a polo shirt. Looking forward to seeing what's new this year, some of my favorite vendors and lastly, some of my TSD friends like @twhite and @Jorvaljr at the event. Just like last year, I will try to post lots of photos for those of you unable to attend. Stay tuned
Wow... What a day! I am whooped. Another great year at the event. Even better was getting to share it with my father in law.
I hope you all will forgive me. I didn't take nearly as many pics this year as last year. I have tried to take mostly photos of vendors that weren't here last year, with a few exceptions. Had to check the Fitbit to start the day: And then first things first after 2 cups of coffee and 90 minute drive.. Walking in from the Christmas store side of Stats you came up the PAA, Edwin Jagger and Razor Emporium.
Some new vendors for this year: Custom 3D printed shave brushes by FRUGAL SHAVE Leather dop kits and razor cases from RANGE LEATHER Amazing soaps from veteran owned REGIMENT SHAVING Natural butters and a little of everything from FOSC (Five O'clock Shadow Club) Beautiful hand thrown and fired scuttled and lathering bowls from DIEGO THERMAL SCUTTLES& BOWLS Soaps and supplies from TAMPA SHAVING. Stuff smells awesome! Custom milled shave handles from ROD GEORGE CUSTOM DESIGNS
Some returning favorites: Todd from St James of London Shavingsoapsonline Custom brushes from Envy Shave Some of the most amazing vegan soaps made from Los Angeles Shaving Soap.

Awesome report. Did you get to smell the soaps from Regiment Shaving? I'd like to send some business their way.
And for me..... To end the day I got nice hot shave Great time with my retired Navy veteran and retired fire captain pops-in-law Some AMAZING Mongolian BBQ at a hole in the wall place in Pasadena And a whole lotta steps...... Looking forward to BSW4
I will chime in. I did and they are great smelling. I bought the "Reveille". Tobacco and other scents. Very earthy smelling. Added bonus is my wife really likes it. I will be trying it out for the first time tonight. I will let you know how it goes. Tom Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
I sure did. His was the only vendor I bought from. His soaps are tallow based. I got the one called High Speed and shaved with it last night to clean up what the straight razor guy missed. HS is a soft leather/tobacco scent. I will PM you.
