For all my fellow Oklahomans, and Texans and Kansans for that matter...
I wanted to give you guys an update on Carwin's Shave Shop, a sweet little brick & Mortar in Oklahoma City. It's in NorthPark Mall on North May Ave.
I wandered in today, just wanting a look to see what was in stock and if anything major had changed. Inside, a gentleman was discussing stock with a young lady. This was one of the owners, Jim, and the young lady was a rep from Edwin Jagger.
This is what we call fortunate timing.
Jim was instantly interested in anything he might be able to do, stopping his business with the Jagger rep to ask as soon as I stepped in. I was okay, just browsing, maybe a few questions later.
Well, he tried to wrap up his transactions with the rep, but both were very enthused to hear-
what I wanted... what I liked... what I thought they should carry.
The next thing I know, Jim is telling me he's trying to get to know the needs of the wetshaving community. He's signed up here, at B&B. He writes down every name I throw at him; Tabac, Proraso, Real Musgo, The Three T's, D.R. Harris, Pre De Provance, Provance sante, Institute Karite, Feather, Astra, Crystal, Derby, Simpson, Vulfix... we went on and on.
He leads me to the company computer and I give him a guided tour of the forums here, the search feature, the FAQ.
I wasn't sure how long he could hang around before he could mention his business here in the Shopping section, but I promised him an honest writeup. Funny, he seemed enthused about just getting to know more about us and wetshaving.
Jim is so thankful he hands me Edwin Jagger shaving cream samples (including Sea Buckthorn...Wow, nice!).
I have never met a merchant in a physical location so investing in finding out what we want, what we use and why we use it. Best of all, this guy is one of us, a Merkur man who practices with a Dovo Shavette. He's hooked, hardcore and makes you feel really welcome.
If you find yourself in Oklahoma City, stop into Carwin's Shave Shop and if ya see the forum name carwinsshaveshop around here, say hi to the guy.
