The Old Town Shaving Company at The Shoppes at Stats Hosts THE BIG SHAVE WEST!
Pasadena, California – The Old Town Shaving Company at The Shoppes at Stats will host an International Forum, Fair and Convention for Traditional Wet Shaving Enthusiasts Saturday, April 25, 2015.
Please join us April 25, 2015 from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm as The Shoppes at Stats are transformed into The World’s Largest Wet Shaving Convention!
The Old Town Shaving Company on the Corner of Raymond Avenue and Green Street in Old Town Pasadena has become a world-class destination for wet shaving education, customer service and procurement of the world’s finest products. With such a loyal following and strong friendships and ties in the business community, it only makes sense that we share our wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to a new generation of wet shavers.
Live wet shaving demonstrations, domestic and international brand representatives, seminars and education will be available to the professional as well as the uninitiated. Come learn about pomades, aftershaves, beard and mustache oils, conditioners and molders, shave soaps, razors, brushes, essences, perfumes, colognes and more. Call yourself an “environmentalist”? Then learn why you should be wet shaving with us!
There will be free samples, demonstrations, seminars, a beer garden, BBQ, wine and cheese plates. Bring the family! The kids will be fascinated and the ladies will find their legs can’t get much smoother!
Sponsors include XPEC from Milan, Antica Barbiera Colla from Milan, D.R. Harris from London, Phoenix Artisan Accouterments, , Perma Brands Corporation, Fine Aftershaves, Captain’s Choice Products, Edwin Jagger (London), Castle Forbes (Scotland), Rockwell Razors (a ‘Kickstart’ razor debuting at the event), Ginger’s Gardens soaps and creams, So Sharp Limited (proper shave attire), Proraso (Italy), and Feather Razors (Japan), Chiseled Face Soaps, The Los Angeles Shaving Soap Company, and Fiine Accoutrements, among others. A portion of sales will benefit our neighbor, the Pasadena Humane Society’s Snip Clinic.
is this the dawning of the Age of Aquarius? No, it’s the Dawning of The Return to Traditional Wet Shaving. Figure out why dad and granddad took such pleasure in the mirror each morning!

The vision for The Old Town Shaving Company, The Bea’s Knees, Sierra Madre Sawing and Milling and The Shoppes at Stats is to bring back the face-to-face gratification of shopping with all 5 senses, by offering unique products that require more than a mouse-click to enjoy. Shopping was once a pastime, an adventure in finding something distinctive. It continues to be at the corner of Raymond and Green. The Shoppes at Stats, in an effort to bring a more varied and diverse product and industry mix into our current offerings, is the exception to the chain-store experience and the Internet. Touching, feeling, smelling, and talking – that touchy feely interaction is what drives people into our store – how else can you know what you want to put on your face!
The Old Town Shaving Company , has been created with the vision of building the largest and most complete brick-and-mortar shaving store in the country, and perhaps even the world. It is our intention to be referred to and talked about in the same manner and conversations of Pasteur Pharmacy in New York, Merz Apothecary in Chicago, as well as all of the major houses in London and elsewhere abroad.
The original entrance and mahogany doors to the Green Hotel on the corner of Raymond and Green have lovingly been restored to their original splendor and invite the customer into The Shoppes at Stats via The Old Town Shaving Company. The alcove dates back to 1890. Come in and enjoy the experience!
