What's new

DFW Get-together?

Stores that i've been too that carry shaving products:

Dougherty's Pharmacy

5959 Royal Ln #515 Dallas, TX 75230
(214) 373-5300


They have Geo F. Trumper products, Schick Injector blade, GEM blades, and a few other aftershaves and lotions.

The Knife Shoppe

It's in the parks mall in arlington.

They have DE razors, mostly merkur. Gillette and merkur blades, Col conk soaps and brushes, stands and soap holders.
 
I'm inclined to add Drug Emporium to the list of vendors (once I confirm they still carry the stuff). It's a pretty lean selection, but they do/did have some proper wetshaving gear, albeit on the low end. Injector blades, the usual Clubman/Pinaud stuff (but I don't think I saw the complete line). Not exactly remarkable, but since Wal-Mart doesn't seem to carry DE blades anymore, Drug Emporium is one of the few brick & mortar stores I've seen that carry even the low end stuff.

Anyone else corroborate my findings with another Drug Emporium? I'll head over to check out the one in Denton sometime soon.

Hey @soapbox, let me know what you find at DE. I've skimmed the shaving isle there and found more than most but nothing I use. I didn't find any blades at all there. (Admittedly, I didn't ask.) I don't use aftershave (they seem to have a lot) but I do use Witch hazel. The new Organic Grocers down the street has Thayers.
 
Dennis, thank you for all your work keeping track of us wayward souls. I never knew there were eight of us in Abilene.

@BigFoot,

You appeared twice on my list: once in Bedford and once in Carrollton. I assume Carrollton is correct?

Dennis

Carrollton is correct Dennis.

Do you guys all like my Avatar and my new custom title. Of course I am a Bigfoot junkie and stumbled across the Lake Worth Monster, I had to change my custom title.
 
Bigfoot,

Awesome title.

Do you go to the annual Bigfoot convention near Beaver's Bend, OK.? Looks like it would be interesting.

Dennis, thank you for all your work keeping track of us wayward souls. I never knew there were eight of us in Abilene.
+1! I had no idea there were actually 5 of us in Coppell! I also find it surprising that there are 335 in the fairly immediate area. Interesting, indeed...:001_rolle And a huge thank you to dparish for sending the notifications for this. I'll definitely attempt to make the August meet. Depending, of course on time and place. The last one I went to was great fun!
