shave supplies

[dsonyay]

In the Lafayette area, is there a store that sells shaving supplies for men? Stuff like safety razors, safety blades, shave mugs, shave soaps, and brushes?

I can order online, but was hoping to find a store that sells them here.

Possibly sephora in the mall. Last time i was there with the wife i saw some male grooming products.

If you ever get over to Baton Rouge there is a store called "Art of Shaving" or "The Art of Shaving"
Lots of items like you are looking for.

"Genterie Supply" in Lafayette should have some shaving stuff.

Macys might have some shaving kits.

Baton Rouge has "The Art of Shaving" in the mall. Its good quality but a tad on the expensive side.

Thanks

Genterie does have a selection as well. Thanks!

Genterie sells the Baxter razor which is actually made by Muhle (German). Muhle makes top notch shavers so the 60 bucks they want is about retail. But it comes with quite a few Derby blades. They also sells lots of soap, brushes, creams and after shaves. Will be a nice place to stock up.

The art of shaving is a chain, and I can order online through them
Thanks for the tips guys.

Went to Genterie today and picked up the Baxter razor, Looks good, Haven't tried it yet.

However they have moved to 408 Jefferson St., Just giving a heads up for those interested.

I have not shaved my face with a razor in 8 years. I have a Wahl trimmer that I use on the closest setting and I hope I never go back.

Ask the people that cut your hair as well. While I wouldn't expect to find it in the chain beauty supply places like Sally's it's not uncommon for the old school barber supply places to carry a lot of that stuff.

For safety razor blades, which I've used for used for almost a decade, I use a guy in Thailand through ebay. I buy Feather blades. They are made in Japan and are hands down the sharpest safety razor blades money can buy. I buy them for pennies. It takes about a month to get here.

For silver bore bristle shaving brush I did some research and found out all the silver tipped bore hair in the world comes from China. So I did some more research and ordered one from China for less than ten dollars delivered. I bought the stand from Amazon. The brush is going on eight years and hasn't lost a bristle yet. Also it works VERY well, just as well as an expensive one.

Since Christmas I've been using a straight razor. That's a topic for another discussion.

Thanks all... I've bought online quite a bit. There really isn't a good place to buy DE shave supplies in the area. Every drug store has a little bit, but not much choices.

There is a barber supply store, but they dont have very.much either.

Thanks!

I picked up the safety razor handle on eBay as well. Vintage Gillette Fatboy. They never go obsolete. That's why we have been steered away from them.

Dave.. Which vendor are you using. I'm enjoying Feather blades, but can't find any deals worth buying by the 100.

 

[dwr461]

I buy from this guy.

buythingsthatmakeyouhappy

A buy a bunch at a time and have not ordered from him since 2013. He's in Bangkok and has always got them to me. It takes a while since he mailed it regular Thailand mail. I saw he was selling ten to fifty at a time. The ten pack was $6.09 I think including shipping.

Have you checked the badger and blade forums? I haven't bought any blades in the last 4-5 years but was able to find them there for around $0.25 a blade when buying more than 100.

I got a Merkur Long Handled Safety Razor for Christmas from Amazon. I am getting more comfortable with it and it takes some getting use to but I really like it. My neck was really red the first few times. I thought it was the sandlewood cream but now it's better.

Thinking of getting that one for my birthday. Not sure about the brush and cream just yet.

Yeah, I've seen a few deals on the B&B forums, buy most are at least .30/CPB.

I can get other excellent blades for a lot less, and I'm not dead set on Feather blades. I've shaved with them twice so far and these are the "scary sharp" of DE blades.
