Greetings from the San Joaquin Valley!

Hello,
I'm still fairly new to wet shaving. Started with a brush and soap about 4-5 months ago and just got a nice Merkur DE for Christmas. It's been fantastic and has totally changed the way I think about shaving. I actually look forward to shaving now.

I love reading and discussing all things shave-related. Naturally, that brought me here. I look forward to talking to you all.

Thank,
John

 

Welcome to TSD from a former Bakersfield resident.

 

Thanks ChemErik! My in-laws are all in Bakersfield. I'm in Porterville, about 45 min. north.

 

Welcome to the Den!

 

I know the area well from the 7 years I spent working the heavy oil fields in the valley. Unfortunately, that was before I started wet shaving so I don't know any local shopping tips.

 

So far CVS and John T's have been my only luck for wet shaving supplies.

 

Welcome!

My wife grew up in P'Ville. We lived there for almost a decade after meeting at Cal Poly and marrying in Shell Beach in the late 80's...

Small world!

 

Further proof that Porterville is, in fact, the center of the universe.

 

Wait... your profile says Research Biologist... you wouldn't happen to know of Research for Hire out on Leggett, would you?

 

Indeed. You know the area a bit too well, it would seem.

 

Greetings, and welcome to the Den! It's good to have you here with us!

 

Thanks. It's good to be here. I've visited a few other shave forums, but not received such a warm welcome. I think I'll like it here.

 

Welcome to The Shave Den! A great community of guys and gals that enjoy wet shaving, I hope you enjoy your stay!
