Here is Mauro_Mengaziol getting a shave from Marcus. Marcus is Frank's Barbershop presiding shave guru. He just came back from getting certified in the Art of Shaving program, and is currently the only AOS certified shaving technician in the state of Tennessee. He gave us a interesting talk as he shaved Mauro.

Marcus used a Dovo Shavette (with a Dorco blade) and the Art of Shaving Sandalwood line for Mauro's shave.

A group shot of the guys. This is pretty much everyone who ended up making it (minus the guy behind the camera).

Okay from left to right we have mspammij (Pam), My Uncle who I'm trying to recruit to B&B (already a wetshaver), Next in the Blue is ChrisEaker, behind him is a high school student that I just converted to wetshaving (although he uses a Schick Hydro 3 blade razor), Next slightly behind the post is Knox Phil (who looks just like his avatar!), and behind KnoxPhil you can barely see Aristos_Archaion.


The last few strokes of the shave.

And that's it! We had a great time, the talk from Marcus was very informative. Once the shave was over we talked for a few more minutes, ate, and displayed wares to buy sell and swap, and then packed up. Aristos_Archaion and I went to Five Guys Burgers for dinner afterwords, and had a great time.

He had quite a time trying to find one of us to shave, since the shave wasn't originally in the plan. Not like any of us were going to show up unshaven to a B&B meetup!

No doubt!:lol: Looks like everyone had a good time, and congratulations to Marcus for getting certified.

Obviously Marcus doesn't test the products out, or practice on himself. :laugh:
