    Default Australian Shaving Supplies 2: Electric Boogaloo

    I promised a good list of websites and locations of where us Australians can get our shaving stuff. I tend to keep my promises. Some of the descriptions were taken from the previous thread (with props to those who wrote them).



    http://www.himage.com.au
    Used to be a very expensive and limited store. Now has a lot of great things and is relatively cheap (in comparison). Also stocks Mama Bear soaps.

    Men's Biz | Men's Skin Care and Shaving Products
    An example of what we are used to here. Standard supply of shave items, higher price than normal.

    Shaver City
    Same as above.

    Guys Grooming
    This is for a laugh. Hope you guys in Perth enjoy your $58 straight shave! (It's now $60, they've gone up by $2!)

    www.knivesaustralia.com.au
    They stock a bunch of shaving stuff and are supposed to be nice people. Tell them Adam.G or MickR sent you. Why? Who knows.

    Shave Shack
    How can we not support our fellow SRP members.

    The Razor Shop
    A little bit pricey, but deserving of support since that useless Shaver Shop chain pushed him out of his bricks and morter shop

    http://www.hgpottery.yolasite.com/hg-scuttles.php
    Aussie hand made scuttles. Good reviews in other places and also have other lathering bowls.

    Art of Man
    Their stock isn't too bad, good selection of creams and soaps.

    http://www.blokeystuff.com.au
    A very disorganised site, but have cheaper Dovo strop paste and strops.

    Faulding Shaving Cream Tube 75g - Chemist Warehouse
    By itself I find this meh, but a pea sized drop into any lather a bit too wet makes it explode.

    Carba-tec
    have good prices on DMT's and Carbatec for C12k hones and other cool stuff.

    Everten.com.au
    Sells Kasumi stones (I use one, not very well though. Ask Oz) and DMT's.

    pureman.com.au/
    Another site that sells all the good stuff. Note that this is not a homosexual pornography site.

    Japan Tool
    Sells Natural and Artificial Japanese stones as well as traditional Japanese tools.

    www.lie-nielsen.com.au
    They sell Norton and Shapton Stones.

    www.whichcolourbeads.com.au/
    They sell Maas, search for it. What Reefer was doing on this bead site originally is anyones guess.

    www.thesandpaperman.com.au/micromesh/
    They sell micro mesh for you people who want to restore razors. Enjoy your sore thumbs.

    www.sollevy.com.au/
    Onimaru recommended these guys. They sell tobacco. What does tobacco have to do with Straight Shaving? Everything.


    Once again, if you know of any other Australian Shaving suppliers, please post here and I will update the list when I can.

    As for professional honers, just check the classifieds. They know their stuff.

    I might also mention that the female half of the AKC, Joan, is a collecter and restorer of cut-throats. Keith most likely doesn't frown on the practice either .

    Zidago what a sensational list. Has already saved me time ! Thank-you.

    FedoraEnforcer: I spent about 30 minutes too long looking at the Cigar shop & nothing to do with shaving. The website / link is Brilliant.

    For anyone that wants that direct link on the cigar website here 'tis.

    http://www.cigars.com.au/Products/Gi...oiletries.aspx

    like i said though i'm not sure if these prices are fair but seem to be on par with the rest of the industry here.

    enjoy guys

    Default RE: cigars.com.au

    Trinidad Fundadores. Bringing back memories of a time when I use to indulge in Cigars with a lot more regularity than I do now. Had a Trinidad for my 40th a few months ago in Hawaii. Better than I remember from 5 years ago.

    [sorry for the off topic]

    again thanks for posting FE.
