Where in LA?

[eric n]

I'm heading down to the Los Angeles area (specifically the Canoga Park) in the morning to buy supplies for my business and was interested in finding somewhere (other than Art of Shaving) which has a collection of shaving hardware and software that I can browse.... Any recommendations? I don't mind varying the trip a little. Thanks in advance for the intel.

Ross Cutlery downtown is perhaps the best knife shop in SoCal and has an awesome selection of new/vintage razors as well as some soaps / other gear.

O U Beauty in Glendale has a small selection of shaving goods.

Larry's Shaver Shop in Santa Monica is supposed to be pretty solid.

West Coast Shaving is a bit of a trek, but they've got all kinds of goodies.

+1 on O U Beauty.

If you come down the 101 you could hit up The HandleBar in Thousand Oaks, they have retail items in addition to the barbershop. Gareth (KodiakAttack) is a vendor here and a good guy.
There's a new shop in Pasadena that just opened called The Old Town Shaving Company that is supposed to be awesome, but that's not really on your way in relation to Canoga Park.

Just saw this post. Did you stop anywhere along the way Eric? To echo what Jesse said, if you went to Canoga Park on the 101 you drove right past my shop.

I would run over to Pasadena, about 35 minutes away and head to Old Town Shaving @ the Shoppes at Stats. They have a Facebook page check it out.
