I recently shaved my beard and wanted to clean shave with Proaso (or Bigelow). Not sure where to find it anymore. I live in the US, around Los Angeles.
Where to buy Proaso or similar in US?

@BullGoose BullGoose Shaving Supplies-Traditional Shaving & Grooming Products - https://bullgooseshaving.com/ should be in your area. Not sure if they have a walk in shop though.
amazon or ebay are great also
proraso is amazing!

Macy's department stores carry Proraso and AOS shaving products in fragrance section. Good prices too.
How much do you want? If you’re comfortable with larger sizes and quantities, a lot of barber supply houses stock Proraso, and the unit price is much cheaper. That’s how I buy Proraso. Same with Clubman.
I am sure there is a supply house in the greater LA area that has what you need. Most will sell to anyone; there’s no secret handshake required.
The last time I checked, Bath and Body Works carried CO Bigelow shaving cream. Should have at least one store out there in L.A.
If you have Amazon Prime, you can buy their entire product line there. I’m not a Proraso fan, however. I simply don’t understand the hype. I get equivalent, if not better, shaves from ordinary shaving cream from a can.
Yeah I usually get mine from Amazon. Will try Macy‘s and look for a barber supply store around me though.
For me it’s cheap and I like the smell. It also works quickly
Nordstrom can have it shipped to their stores but I think they only carry the white line
Amazon.
They haven't for several years. Check out Macy's or another dept. store.
Either order online, start calling Barber Supply (not Beauty Supply) houses, or find out if BG or one of the other vendors will let you do local pick up. I have not seen Proraso or a rebranded version at any common chain in several years. It's just not popular enough in the U.S. to be stocked anywhere common anymore. Sorry, just the way it is.
Drugstore chains like Walgreens and CVS have Cremo still, which is probably the best thing you can find at a chain. Unfortunately it's not really like Proraso and is designed to be a brushless cream. I've heard some people use it with a brush though.
Another alternative is Kiss My Face shave cream in a pump bottle. Sometimes Whole Foods and health food stores carry it. It can be used with a brush or without.
Some of the fancier department stores and malls *might* have Art of Shaving products still, but call before you go. They are about 3 times the price of Proraso.

Also since it has Not been mentioned yet, check at places like TJ Maxx and Ross or Marshall's.. They usually have some of those and other stuff too.. Usually you can find shave soaps there. I bought most of my Proraso products at those places....They also usually have a variety of after shaves , witch hazel and colognes and other stuff shave or skin care related too !!

Good call. I believe I saw pro-sizes of Proraso at a barber supply in Reseda.
One better make sure that they like Proraso first. Polarizing. Too much of a "blast" for me. And not a fan of the lather quality.
How about Cella?
BTW: There was no "secret handshake" at this particular barber supply (which is barely stocked with shave gear) but they do charge different prices to the general public. IMS Proraso is one of the few shave items they did carry.

I'm heading to LA and needed a store to buy some shaving supplies while there. This place was suggested:
The Shaver Shop
17516 Hawthorne Blvd
Torrance, CA 90504
Phone: (310) 370-3373
Also, the Proraso website has a page that let's you plug in your area code and it tells you who carries their products. I was surprised to find that a small pharmacy near me carries all their stuff! Worth at try!
Store Locator - proraso-company - https://proraso-usa.com/pages/store-locator
Good luck!
