    Default Visited Imperial Shaving (the SRD retail store)

    Oh my goodness...I was like a kid in a candy store! If you weren't aware, SRD not only does business over the web, but they operate out of a retail shop in ultra quaint Medina, Ohio (not too far from Akron, in NW Ohio). A must visit if you're ever in the area. What a great space, with everything wonderfully displayed. Lots of tester bottles for just about every brand and scent...even the ultra pricey Penhaligon's colognes, in which I indulged. The biggest collection of brushes I've ever seen and all the wonderful strops to feel and compare. Just great. Awful if you shouldn't be spending money!

    Nothing beats going to a brick & mortor store and stick the old beak against a bottle opening to smell it before you buy it.

    that sounds so amazing, I wish that there was some kind of store like that in the Boston area....

    i love SRD and have ordered many many of their products online, but what would is unfortunate is that I can never feel one of their leather strops before I buy it to get an idea of what the texture is like

    Have you ever stroked the nape of a beautiful woman's neck? It feels kinda like that... the strop nearly makes the same noises as the beautiful woman.

    Just sayin'...

    And you don't have to cuddle with your strop afterwards, but I guess you could if you really wanted to

    I drive almost right by the store everytime I go home on leave and have never actually stopped in, I will probably stop in next time I am in the area, might just have to leave my wallet in the car
