Men (and women), please join us for an evening celebrating wet shaving!
Merz Apothecary is proud to host an evening dedicated to shaving and men's grooming. We will feature shave experts (including Mark Herro - Mantic59 on YouTube!) demonstrating technique and answering questions, shave products from the world's best shaving brands, and great conversation with shaving afficianados from across the globe.
If you are already a fan of wet shaving, this will be your chance to meet and mingle with other like-minded wet shave enthusiasts. If you're a wet shave beginner and want to learn more, this is the event for you. You will have the chance to ask questions of experts, and you can explore one of the country's largest selections of shave equipment in every price range.

We are anticipating a fun and exciting evening of shaving and grooming presentations, fashion vendors and services, and more thanks to the brilliant event planning of Erin Patrick, of erin patrick: events fashioned!

Frank the barber attending, and Lynn too!
I'm thrilled that Lynn will be there!! My Italian barber, Frank, will be coming as well. Some of you may have heard me mention him. Sorry if I repeat, but he was trained in Italy in the 1940's and came to the US in the 50's. He still cuts hair and gives straight shaves-$25 and awesome.
He's been cutting my hair since I'm 8. He cut my grandfather's, father's, and son's hair. He's passed much wisdom on to me on honing, stropping, and shaving. I still have a lot to learn on all of those subjects. I've talked shaving with him every month for the past two years.
