After searching around on the Internet, I found a store in Houston with a good selection of shaving stuff. It's called The British Isles, 2366 Rice Boulevard.
It's sort of a British variety store -- lots of teas, china, food items, knick-knacks and a decent selection of soaps, cremes and aftershaves from Taylor, Truefitt and Trumpers.
I picked up my first badger brush -- a pure badger from Crabtree and Evelyn for $35. I also got a tub of TOBS cream for $20.
They had the following TOBS creams in stock: Mr. Taylors, Gentlemen's, Luxury and Rose. I spoke to the manager who's putting in an order for some Sandalwood and Avocado. Apparently the Avocado flies out the door as fast as he can get it in. The shipment should arrive within 3 weeks.
I'll definitely be back there!

Yes, it's a pretty good store, though crummy to order from online since they charge an arm and a leg for shipping. A few of their prices are on the high side, but all in all, a good store, especially if you live in the city and can walk in.

Nowhere, unfortunately. There's a C&E store and some Indian markets that sell Palmolive creams. That's about it. I buy pretty much everything online.
