Just came back from a Barber Supply Store

[jeff_C]

So many thanks to "RattBones" who suggested an online purchase from the Atlanta Barber Supply store. Im not even sure if he realized that I was in Ga. But today I went by the store. It was only 1.5 blocks away. Oh my... They had ALL the goodies! I walked out with a bottle of Osage Rub, Clubman Special Reserve and Clubman Bay Rum.

On the way out the door I saw some Proraso soap. Ive read a lot about it here and though I would try it.

Its a little hole in the wall place but the staff was SUPER friendly and when I bought the Proraso they got very excited. A guy came out from the back (I think maybe a manager or owner) and mad a big deal about how they just started carrying it and looked forward to my thoughts on it. LOL

This could be a dangerous place to have so close! They had nice brushes, soaps of all kinds, ALL kinds of aftershaves etc etc...

Shaving Nirvana on Mitchell St in the ATL! lol

And who/where might that be?

If I was 1.5 blocks away from a barber supply store equivalent to ABS, they'd know me by name.

Like I said, I bought 3 aftershaves and then saw the Proraso on the way out. I went back to the counter and paid for the cream (again)... the young lady just laughed and knowingly said "oh yeah, you're going to be a regular" lol...

Yep!

I went back to the office and had one of the young ladies smell some of my finds. As I was leaving she said "See you Tuesday... oh, and would you please wear the stuff in the green bottle" LOL. I do like that Osage Rub. It doesn't hang onto me too long but its SO darn refreshing! ICE cold and fresh!

You aren't kidding. They'd probably have a Soft drink waiting for me as well.

I have ordered supplies from the Atlanta Barber Supply store and I have no complaints against them. They shipped quickly, their products were excellent and the price was very good.

 

[itsmedave]

I need to make an order from them. Looks like they have Osage Rub cheap as well as some other items.

And who/where might that be?

Same question, how did I not know about this?

 

[jkingrph]

I just got 4 bottles of the Osage Rub. Four to knock down shipping cost per bottle as I will probably gift a couple of them. Shipping was super fast, like two days Ga to Tx.

Atlanta Barber Supply (ABS) has quite a bit of stuff in person that is not listed on their website.Enter at your own risk,keep a roll of cash or a credit card with a generous limit on hand.


you may need it.

Awesome idea! I just googled [Saint Louis Barber Supply] and found a promising lead. It also says they carry many more things not listed on the website. So when I need more shaving supplies in oh, say, the next 5 years I might check it out!

The lady who used to cut my hair told me that she goes to such a place, but they don't sell to the public. Said you must have your hair cutting "license" to buy. don't really believe it, but I'm going to call before I head down there just to make sure they're open to the public.

I'm heading to ATL this morning, where exactly is ABS? I'll be in the Buckhead area.

 

[jeff_C]

Down town... about 3 blocks from the capitol. Its kind of on the corner of Peachtree and Mitchell... (Well in that block). Parking looked a little "rough".

Thankfully I work so close I could walk over just about any time.

If you click on the ABOUT US you can get a map.

Thanks for the address. I'm not sure if I'll make it by today, but it's definately on the "to do list."
