"Show-Me Shavers" - Missouri Shaving Enthusiasts

[TriggerMan]

If any of you Show-Me'ers gets a chance to visit Springfield, definitely check out Just For Him. Although this shop specializes in tobaccos, they have an impressive selection of shaving supplies too! I was able to visit for the first time today.

Welcome Guys! Great to see more folks here from the MO & KS areas. More info on the upcoming meetup will be out later this week.


I just started the I Miss Christmas Pass. If any of you are interested in signing up, maybe we can do a mini get-together to do the gift selections! Check it out here for more info.

Tell us a little about yourself?
I'm a 20something following my fiance on her dream to become a doctor. I have an accounting and IS background, but my charm and good looks are the real clinchers. I came across wet shaving earlier this year as a means for a better shave.

Hobbies:
Golf! More golf! I adopted a 3 y/o black lab as soon as I got settled in MO and he's my favorite hobby. I run a Tough Mudder almost every year, but enjoy pretty much any athletic activity (I am a former springboard diver). I love traveling, whether it's tourist spots or off-trail and out of range. Always on the lookout for new music, movies, and video games.

One day I'd love to sit in the seats I took this picture from!

Welcome David! Hope to meet you soon!

Sorry guys, August is out. I just found out I'll be traveling for work all month. Will have to postpone the meetup until Sep or Oct. Bummer.

Hopefully by then my second job will be slowing down and I can attend!
