West Coast Shaving

[Big Jim]

I'm guessing that West Coast Shaving's brick and mortar facility in Southern California is a victim of covid. Their only brick and mortar facility has closed.

I recently ordered a knot from West Coast Shaving, and to my surprise, the packing slip only showed the address of their fulfillment cent in the Northeast.

Googling about it brought up a Yelp review showing it was closed.

Does anyone know anything more about the closing? I wonder if they intend to reopen when the economy comes back or if they will be content using a fulfillment center.

Anyone else know anything about the closing?

Confusingly, West Coast Shaving is based in Myrtle Beach, SC. I have been trying to figure out why they are called West Coast since I started shaving. Was very annoyed with my first order taking over a week to Ca.

Many years ago, West Coast Shaving was purchased from the original owner whose home was in California, and transferred locations under the new ownership.

At one time, WCS was located in Chico, CA. That's where the name came from.

For a while WCS had locations in Chico, CA and Myrtle Beach, SC. I think they moved everything to SC at some point prior to the whole Covid-19 situation.

Ah, this explains why my new Stoneware lathering bowl went from South Carolina to North Carolina. I was thinking they might have warehouses around the country--like Amazon--which prepare and ship orders on a regional basis.

Yes, it may have been Chino, or Chino Hills.

It was Chino Hills. B&B member Letterk opened up that location in 2010

I live in California and ordered an item from West Coast Shaving (now on the east coast) and received it in 2 or 3 days. I was impressed with the speed, their efficiency, and the packing of the item. I give 'em high marks!

Right, I might have mis-remembered the name. That is happening more often nowadays for some reason...Chico is up North, isn't it?

Hour north of Sac

+1! This is also my understanding. Must say that I preferred dealing with the folks in So Cal!

I have always had great service from them, either in person or on-line. I remember visiting three different locations in the Chino area over the years as they moved about.
