What's Your Preferred Retailer of Shaving Supplies?

Hello everyone, since I got into safety razor shaving a few years ago, I have been making my purchases exclusively through The Razor Company, as they are somewhat local to me, so I end up getting my orders relatively quick. I certainly look forward to hearing where you folks shop at, and your experiences with various retailers.

Maggard Razors (Adrian MI)

 

Maggard Razors
Pasteur Pharmacy
Stirling Soap

 

Maggards
Stirling Soap Co.

 

Amazon
Connaught Shaving
Whatever artisan site has the shaving soap I want
Whatever site Google finds with the product I want, if Connaught and Amazon don't have it.

It is not like the old days when there were just a few "forum favorite" vendors selling wetshaving gear. Now there are thousands.

 

My top three; Bullgoose, Connaught and Maggard’s.

 

Haven't bought a new razor or brush in eons. No future plans to do so - near 40 razors and some two dozen brushes is plenty for me.
Aftershave is Thayer's or Brut, picked up at the local grocery store.
Cologne, enough to last several more years.
That leaves blades - only use Astra SP from Amazon.
And soap - my next order will be from the TSD store (see tab to click at the top of the page)

 

Nothing but great experiences from...

Maggards
Stirling
Mike's Natural Soaps

Oh, so you ARE a Kent of Inglewood fan! I remember asking you if you'd heard of them, as I came across their website. I like some of their things.

 

yes.they had 2 locations,now just one.relatively speaking,they are close by..

 

I'm pretty price conscious. Some might call me cheap. I prefer frugal. But I've bought shaving gear from almost every retailer I've come across. And this was mostly several years ago as I pretty much have everything I could want shaving wise and don't remember the names of all the places. But here's a sampling: Connaught, Italian Barber, Stirling, Schone, West Coast Shaving, Maggards, Art of Shaving, Pasteurs, Shave Nation and even Amazon and eBay.

 

Maggards. Unbeatable customer service.

I've run out of brush space at my tiny sink. I have just one Jayaruh, but it's one of my favorites.

My 2 best razors are one I got from Amazon & one I get here, in a PIF. For blades, my favorite retailer is whoever has the best price on Feather blades.

 

I’ve bought from a number of sources over the years, but here are the ones I use most frequently now:
Thrift stores - when I was looking for vintage razors
Amazon - for blades, some other items on occasion
Italian Barber - soaps, aftershave, some other items on occasion - I really like their shave sticks and soap pucks.

 

Shave Nation
Stirling Soap
Italian Barber
Captains Choice
Phoenix Artisans Accoutrements PAA
Ems Place
Maggards
The Razor Company
The Razor Emporium
Qedusa
Etsey
Ebay
Amazon

 

My main sources are:

Razor Emporium (semi-local to me, and I like to go there),
The Razor Company,
Stirling Soap Co.

I've also ordered from Maggard's and other sources a little. I don't buy a whole lot, because I can only use shave soap, after-shave, and blades just so fast, but that's who I get most everything from now. I enjoy going in to Razor Emporium. D.J. is friendly and helpful, and they have a very broad selection of items, including large numbers of vintage and vintage-refurbished razors. They'll also refurbish a razor you bring in. What they don't carry I can mostly get from TRC or directly from Stirling. I get Moon soap either from TRC or directly from Moon.
