I'm a DE razor shaver. I've always had to order my supplies online (shaving soap, knots etc...). Just curious who around here sells this kind of stuff in Calvert County area?
Foxhound tells me that they sell some of that kind of thing in the pharmacies around the county. Rite Aid in PF, CVS(?) in Solomon's and Walgreen's in Lusby.
Do you still put the dull blades into the slot in the medicine cabinet? I saw those slots as a kid and wondered who thought that was a good idea.
I'd like to find an alum bar. It's a good post shave routine. I had 1 years ago when I was mostly blade shaving.
There isn't to my knowledge. I have looked and wondered myself. To get the good quality stuff keep ordering online. Best bang for the buck on DE blades are the Derby's IMO.
NOPE!!!
I'm talking DE razors, DE razor blades, Shaving brushes, shaving soap (not can ####).
I'm talking Arko, Col Conk, Omega, Badger hair knots, Merkur, Edwin and Jagger.....
I'm thinking there has to be some barber somewhere who does traditional straight blade shaving and provides to the public...
You can make your own or just get a septic stick at walmart. It's basically the same thing. Alum bar is better though...
LOL,
I've been using feather, but they can tear your face up. I've been thinking of getting a sampler pack....
But I'm thinking there are some barbers in NB/SB Dunkirk etc that have supplies they sell....
So are you talking a straight edge razor or a double edge razor? You said DE razors which is what Foxhound uses. You didn't specify a brand, you specified a type of razor. He bought his original set at The Art of Shaving BARBER and shaving store in the Annapolis Mall. He buys his Wilkinson (or Gillette, whatever) Double-Edged safety razor replacement blades at the local pharmacies. He also purchases the round pucks of soap at the pharmacies for his shave cup.
Do you mean a styptic pencil?

This is what my husband is getting for Christmas (cant decide between the safety or the multiblade )..met the craftsman at artfest and was impressed by him and his absolutely beautiful kits. Unfortunately he is Frederick and not Calvert so that doesn't exactly answer your OP, but I thought itd be a good place to mention it, plus he certainly ships and appears to do local activities often.
The shaving soap and aftershave that comes with it smells awesome and is from a small batch soap place also in Frederick http://www.theoldcolony.com/
Yep, that is what I meant.
In the Shaving community we call this a Alum bar. Or Aluminum Sulfate.
You know what? If you weren't being a little d*ick, you might have read where he is getting his blades in my other post. Foxhound is currently driving us to Myrtle Beach -I was only trying to help you out by asking him.
P.s. He said all your shaving products sound metrosexually frou frou.
