I know this is an old thread but I just had to comment. First off just let me say that I’m not a fan of shave shops that are set up in shopping malls although I do understand the convenience. So while stopping into my local marshals/TJ max I came across a few AOS procducts. Sea kelp cream and AS also sandalwood and lavender after shave only. I have TOBS lavender and I like the performance but not a huge fan of the scent. I purchased the lavender AS in hopes that when it hits the skin the smell would change. No luck. My wife commented that I smelled like our RV tablets that we drop in the crapper. I’m sure there’s some that like it but I just don’t get the smell. I’ve smelled some pretty nice lavender but this just is not for me. Luckily I only paid half of what AOS charges had I wandered in there after taking my kids to hollister.

Give St Charles Shave a try. They have two Lavendar AS's

1.Bulgarian Lavender Aftershave Splash (The better one. A few more $$)
Bulgarian Lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia) Aftershave Splash made with Bulgarian Lavender essential oil 4oz (120ml) $16.00
2.Lavender Aftershave Splash
Lavender Aftershave Splash will cool, soothe and moisturize. A light non-greasy formula that dries quickly. After shaving, close pores with tepid water; apply sparingly. 4 OZ.-(120ML.) $12.00

I use a number of their AS's and like them very much.
(Savory Rose, Smoke & Beads, Fairway, Sandalwood, and Bulgarian Rose.)
The Bulgarian Rose AS is one of my favorites AS's. It's under the "Limited" link. Costly but amazing true rose scent. I suspect the Bulgarian Lavender would also be awesome. It's under the "Aftershave" link.
Never tried their Lavender though.
I Have Stirling's Bergamot Lavender that is also good, but not a "pure" Lavender.

Sir Dad, if not shave shops, what most attracts you to shopping mall?

Honestly not much. Maybe shopping with the kids once in awhile or perhaps a trip to dicks sporting goods. As far as shave supplies goes I’d much rather give my money to a mom and pop shop such as Mr Maggard and his wife as opposed to a place that marks up their prices for subpar items as to pay for the foot traffic that comes with the store front. The few times I’ve stopped into AOS I was usually greeted by a worker who knew very little about shaving and wanted to sell me an EJ89.
