Good shaving supply store in Long Beach, CA

[pipskicks]

I went today with another member from the site, exxmxxf, and we swapped some items, but we had heard this one place had a lot of aftershave. They do happen to have a lot of aftershave and some interesting sizes:



They also had a ton of straights (I think these were for barbers cutting women's hair, but they had some names I recognized). They had tons of soaps, great prices. Tons of VDH in just the plastic case for really cheap, tons of Barber shop pucks (all cheapies), and every kind of Derby cream I've ever seen. Here are some pictures, I couldn't take a picture of everything, there was literally too much:


They had really good prices. They told me they ship as well, not sure how that would work, if you really are interested you can PM me, but I don't think anything here is really rare or would be worth shipping.

looks like a barbershop/salon supply store to me. similar to Sallys Beauty Supply. Major aftershave AD with those gallon sizes.

LOL well you can try to call them if you want anything, nothing too crazy, but they did have more than I thought they would. That is awesome how you recognized it, now where else should I go? You must know what's up if you can tell what it is from a couple of pictures!!

Sally's had 2 aftershaves, they had a minimum of like 20 including some no-name brands. They also must have had a dozen of cheap brushes and soaps, both of which Sally's doesn't have. They had Dorcos, Personnas, a few others I can't remember, but just more than I've ever seen in a retail shop is all.


I heard you could get AS by the gallon, but I guess the only "name brand" or recognizeable one would be the Lucky Tiger. I think the Lucky Tiger was only $30 or so though! Witch Hazel was like $20!!!!!!!!

Oh and not to tout the store, but I did walk a few extra blocks from Sally's for this place. They have a full set-up kit (Sally's has a Chinese razor and Personnas, no brush, no soap). They had starter kits, and they had DE razors. Actually they were out right now, but they usually have them (they said at least). But at least when they have razors it's not a Sally's Chinese one, they at least carry Merkur.

I would honestly say this is more like some cross between Sally's and a SUPER cheap AOS. It was nicer than anything I've seen to date at least.

Thanks to member Xillion I got you a couple of more places, I tried forwarding you the info on the places, let me know if you still need them. I guess this is not the best out there, just the closest to me!

Your phone camera takes great pics! That was a lot of fun, today! We'll hit up another shop after Thanksgiving. Antonio's had bottles of Pinaud that I've never seen before. They've got Osage Rub, La Lueur Lanolin a couple of things from Lucky Tiger in stock. That Pinaud Citrus Musk I picked up is really interesting! We got so caught up we forgot to eat lunch.
