Howdy, Ballardite! Glad to see another one on the boards.

I've been aftershave / balm shopping at Fred Meyer (totally worthless) and Walgreens (Market & 15th). I wasn't able to sniff any of the aftershaves as three dour clerks were stocking shelves as slowly as possible and showed no signs of moving. This week I'll try to get to Bartell's over by the library and Ballard Market to see what they offer.

I have been forced to buy my blades for my DE shaving from online sources.

I stumbled across RetroRazor (no affiliation) who I think is / used to be in the Seattle area. They might have some good prices for your DE gear.

One of the other responders had a link to some places in Seattle, including Valentine's on Greenwood (no affiliation). It may be expensive so I don't know about going there until it's a Special Occasion(tm), but it could be worthwhile.

Im from Ballard as well, heading to Ballard Market for some Thayers witch Hazel. Blackbird in ballard has a nice selection of higher end soaps aftershaves and other gentlemanly stuff.
