It may be that since I started DE shaving that I'm spoiled. When I found B&B early on, I found out about Pasture's. It is a Mecca for finding all types of products in a fairly small store. Those of you who have been there know it's lots of shelves and narrow isles, but it has everything. I'm there about once a month.
So I was just in Pickwick about 20 minutes ago (stopped for a cheesestake before going to Suburban Station for my train)
It was disappointing...
A few shelves with some Proraso($8 for soap or cream) Cella ($10), TOBS which was higher priced then Pasture's...some Omega brushes, a few straights,...One razor, a Merkur that I didn't look at the price. A cheap one behind the counter, and that's it.
They do have a Shaving Factory ceramic mugs & brush kit with a stick of Arko for $17.
Plenty of Pinaud in small & large bottles ($9.99 for Lime Sec)
Blades on the shelf, some shavettes blades,
DE blades,
Derby Extra ($1.49 for 10),
Dorco ST-300 ($1.29 for 10),
Lion by Derby ($1.29 for 5)
Feather ($3.00 for 5 or $6 for 10)
Then the one I laughed at
Derby Premium ($2.49 for 5)
Someone must think the word Premium add a buck to the price, it's still Derby.
Has Astra SS, Shark & Derby behind the counter, but didn't ask about them. No Gillette blades at all.
They do have some Arko cream ($1.99) & Stick ($1.49). Even had Williams Mug ($1.59)
I'm sure it's a good pharmacy for other items, but didn't walk around to find out. Felt bad for them so got a puck of Williams and even though I said I'd never buy it, a stick of Arko.
For someone who might be in Philly that's traveling & needs something, it's a good place. Otherwise , bring your stuff with you.
Hoping that the guys in Philly have better options.
