Two community meetups are on the 2026 calendar that any serious wet shaver in driving range should know about. The Great Texas Wet Shavers Meetup is up first on June 6 at the Kalahari Resort in Round Rock. The Great Mid-Atlantic Wet Shavers Meetup follows on October 18 at Conshohocken Brewing’s KOP Tap Room outside Philadelphia. Both events bring a long list of artisans, sponsors, and the kind of in-person community that makes this hobby what it is. Here’s what to know.

Why we’re posting this

Wet shaving is a small community, and these in-person gatherings are how it stays a community. Hosts put real time and money into pulling them together. Vendors travel. Soap and razor makers donate door prizes. If either event is in driving range and you can swing it, go. Even if you walk in not knowing anyone, you’ll walk out with people who want to talk shaves with you on Instagram for the next decade.

We’ll keep an eye on both events and post follow-ups after they happen. If you’re a host with a meetup we should cover, or you’ve got photos and a recap from one of these you’d like us to share, reach out.
