Shaving Supplies in & near the San Fernando Valley
Posted: Wed Mar 29, 2006 12:58 pm
Since getting into wetshaving, I've been trying to find local purveyors of shaving goods in the SFV area of Los Angeles... I've only been moderately successful.
The Beauty Collection has stores in Sherman Oaks, Calabasas and Tarzana. They carry L'Occitane, Proraso (though more expensive than Target) and D.R. Harris (as well as Art of Shaving, Baxter, etc.). Check the baskets scattered around the store... they often contain discounted items (like Cade soap for $5 and Eau de Badian for $29).
There's a L'Occitane store in the Sherman Oaks Fashion Square.
And a Crabtree & Evelyn store at the Glendale Galleria.
Bon Savon is a soap store in Studio City which carries some shaving soaps (including Provence Sante).
Capitol Drugs in Sherman Oaks carries the organic line of Lucky Tiger.
Whole Foods in Studio City carries Thayer's witch hazel (only one kind... luckily it's the alcohol free one with rose).
I know about The Shave of Beverly Hills, but it's overpriced and not particularly convenient (though I may treat myself to a shave down there sometime).
I've checked a few of the cigar shops nearest me, and I've yet to find anyone that carries shaving supplies.
If anyone knows of a place that carries DE razors, brushes, traditional English shaving creams and soaps, good colognes, etc. close to the SFV (say in a box defined by vertices at Chatsworth, Santa Monica, Glendale and the NE corner of the Valley), please reply and add to the list.
I'll add any new info I find as I find it.
