Go to the shopping forum and look up the thread about places to shop in your city, you will find a ton of info.

EDIT: Wow I'm tired. I thought you were asking where you can buy stuff locally. Ugh. Ok, to answer your question here I'm new and haven't purchased much, so here a list of everything I've got available locally:

The entire Proraso Line
Omega soaps
Entire T&H line (I'm near their Toronto location)
D.R. Harris soaps and shave sticks, as well as the gift pack with a brush and puck of soap
Omega Soap
Real Shaving Company
Cromwell & Cruthers Shaving Oil
Trumpers soaps
Nivea linup.
And the C&E lineup.
Also, I think tabac is available locally as well.
Plus of course aqua velva and all that too.
Oh, and styptic pencils.

Mitchell's Wool Fat (soap). The only good product I've bought locally was Toms of Maine peach shaving cream.

Everything 'Proraso' at Shopper's Drug Mart when I'm back home in Canada. Mandom, Lucido, and MG5 aftershave when I'm at home in Japan.

Believe it or not i have tremendous success with Van Der Hagen Deluxe soap which I bought at Wally World for a buck fiddy. I don't know if it has anything to do with me being super cheap and I tend to be more frugal on my more expensive soaps and creams but since VDH Deluxe is SOOO cheap, I lather that stuff up and it has TONS of thick creamy lather, which smells wonderful. Shave Secret oil I have had good success with too as pre-lather, love the menthol sensation.

Other than the Wally World stuff, I don't buy stuff at Art of Shaving, as I find their stuff to be overpriced and haven't been to T&H yet. I stick to most purchases online for ease of use.

 

[FrankPoole]

Only local stuff for me is the standard Gillette fragrances and only shave soaps are VDH and Williams. Correction Williams is no longer available for some reason.

 

[erudolph]

I don't use much in the way of After Shave Balms, sticking primarily to witch hazel, but if I feel a little irritation, I like Nancy Boy Replenishing After Shave Gel, bought from the Nancy Boy store in San Francisco.

Another thing I like that was bought from a brick and mortar store, not by me but by my Dad, as a gift, is my old Plisson European Grey brush.

 

[BEAR DEN]

Merkur razors and blades
Dovo str8 razors
Feather AC and the blades to fit it
Col Conk soaps
Col Conk Brushes
Omega brushes
Williams soap
AOS shaving cream
All of TBS line

 

[Doc4]

I can buy the best (and greenest) Aqua Velva aftershave locally.

 

[Callisto32]

You can find tabac locally? Where?!? I've been dying to try it, but I don't have enough stuff to buy to justify shipping. It would be great to get it at a store.

You can buy Tabac products from www.fragrancex.com ... they are reasonably cheap and generally offer free shipping on small orders. Fast shipping, too. I got both my orders within 48 hours of when I placed them, even with the default ground free ship option.

Save your receipts, they contain a voucher worth $5 off your next order.

You have to use a certain coupon code during checkout for free shipping, but I'm blanking out on what it is. Someone else will chime in and fill in the details, I'm sure.
