Has anyone found any bricks and morter stores that actually carry DE blades? Walmart and Sally's Beauty Supply carry one brand but I don't really like them. Is there anywhere I can go when I don't have time to order online?
I know you said you didn't want to order on-line but shipping for blades in extremely cheap. Most e-tailers charge actual shipping and isnt more than a few bucks. www.westcoastshaving.com has a nice sampler also that is a good starter.
Please explain. Our Walmart sell the Red Personna Platinum. Being new to the party, I can't say where they fall on the quality scale, but I do get a very acceptable shave from them. I will be trying others soon, but can you explain if the CVS brand is on par with these Personnas. To the original poster. As much as I appreciate you driving from B&M to B&M looking for blades (I'm in the oil industry), I don't believe you'll find much worth a darn without ordering online. Trust me...
Most drug stores and grocery stores and Walmart/Target/KMart stores carry some form of rebranded ASR DE blade. Whether you want to shave with them is the question. They will work in a pinch, but if you want a quality blade, you will more than likely have to shop online.
Dollar General stores in my part of the world sell their DG blades for $1/10 pack. The ones I get are made in Israel and shave like Crystal blades. Even at a dime a piece, this is expensive as you can buy brand name blades in bulk online and pay less.
Pickings are slim in some areas. I recently went home to visit my parents over the holiday and ran out of blades towards the end of my vacation; I had to settle for Bic blades.
Navarro Drug (Florida East Coast) carries the Crystal/IP's as their store brand. I've found Crystals at the 1$ and More store, but not lately.
