New shaving goods at Target!
New shaving goods at Target!
Hello all. I just got a little bit of an inside scoop. I work for Target and have been informed that they are making several changes to their health and beauty line. "Starting 3/05/2006, Target will sell men's creams and razors by brands such as Proraso and others." That is a quote I recieved at work, not my own. Sorry if this is old news. I had just heard it.
Thought some of you might find it interesting to see what happens.

Allen, that is good news, although perhaps not for online vendors who sell the stuff. It would so be nice if stores like Target and Walgreen's would carry some interesting stuff, as opposed to just the normal crap from Gillette and Schick. For instance, a Walgreen's in my area actually carries Pinaud Clubman cologne, and used to carry Murray & Lanman's Florida Water. It's not exactly Trumper and Harris, but it does add at least a little interest to an otherwise boring section. Seeing Proraso there should be similarly interesting. I hope it's throughout the chain, and not just a local thing.

Wow! This is great news because I've been wanting to try Proraso.
What's interesting is that I was at Target a few weeks ago and stopped in their health and beauty section to see what they had to offer. What I found was pretty disappointing. No DE blades. No quality creams. No quality soaps. But this is certainly good news if they're about to revamp their lineup!

Allen do you know if your distribution center services the El Paso, TX area stores? Will this apply to Super and regular Targets?aybond wrote:I actually work at one of the distribution centers which services over 60 stores in the central U.S., so I am assuming that it will be at most, if not all stores. To be safe, I would suggest you check the online ad this Sunday in your area.

Re: New shaving goods at Target!
Wow, this could be huge news if it is indeed a move by a major retailer to acknowledge the existance of traditional wetshaving. Makes me wonder if Gillette did something to annoy them (like cut their margins on Gillette's "shaving systems" ). I seem to recall that Target is owned by a foreign company (not sure whether that means anything or not). In any case I shall wait for Sunday with bated breath!aybond wrote:"Starting 3/05/2006, Target will sell men's creams and razors by brands such as Proraso and others."

Wow, great news! If this happens I might finally pick up some Proraso cream. I like their pre/post shave, since I'm a fan of mentholated after-shaves.
The local Target in South Austin hasn't carried DE blades for over a year, and I don't think I've ever seen injector blades there. I do hope that changes.

Wow. Target, of all places. Sorry, that should be pronounced Targe(t). Good stuff.aybond wrote:"Starting 3/05/2006, Target will sell men's creams and razors by brands such as Proraso and others."
Anyword on what the "others" might be? And is it just the Proraso cream that will offered, or can we expect the soap, pre/post, aftershave, etc?
