They have an outstanding lunch counter too. Probably the best milkshakes in 'burque.
I go there to buy Tabac once in a while.
Really though most of their shaving stuff is Colonel Conk quality at Castle Forbes prices.
It is an island in time though.
 
A feast for the eyes indeed, mmm.

I came across a barber today that had a display cabinet at the entrance which carried tonnes of stuff (not nearly as much as that shop you pics) but the prices were all AT LEAST 25% more than the online shave shops.
Internet shopping can ruin me in some ways, I always see something and then say "I'll just check if I can get it cheaper online",lol. Bye Bye bricks and mortar shops ;)
 
I made a point to check it out when I was in ABQ last year. I confess I walked out after having only sampled a milkshake and sandwich.
 
I was just there a few months ago while on leave. Great stuff, and although the prices might be a little high, depending upon where you live, they weren't really that bad. Plus, I found that being able to actually pick up and handle the stuff offset any small increase in what I would pay for it over the internet. Plus the owner is a superb fellow and fun to work with. Lastly, their old time soda shop is awesome and well worth the trip even if you don't buy any shaving products!
 
I think its because these shops have to pay leases, property insurance and commercial licenses to sell there stuff so they mark it up.. on the plus side hopefully the customer support is better...
