Thread: cool little shop

... and travel agencies that carry you from one of those shops to the next

This seems to be their online site. But as Doc says, it's not really anything other than a note saying that they exist and where that might be or if you're looking to buy EO's

Does anyone "in the know" about this shop know if they blend there own bay rum???

when I was there they did not but it never hurts to ask.

That place does carry some cool stuff it seems. Thanks for the post!

Awesome! Being a manly cadet... I'm getting into making soap with stuff from Joann here. EOs, glycerin... now I won't have to stop all year! Hahaha...

Spent my honeymoon there and it's an awesome city. It's a bit more of a hike than Savannah from here so we haven't had a chance to go back yet. Yet!

We should get a database going of retail stores like this. Separate by state, then city, and then categorize them by the products and services they offer.

We're finally going back to Charleston for a few days over Labor Day weekend. Boy I cannot wait to check out this store!

Funny thing was that the day I made my original post, my wife suggested we go back without me mentioning anything. Can't wait!

that's great she was a great lady and treated us very well now if we could just get her to open a web site!

Just to follow up, I agree with everything Doc said -- this place is amazing. The store is next to the outdoor market in a tiny mall called Rainbow Market(?), which has about 15 little shops. Floor space was much smaller than I expected, but pretty easy to navigate. They still carry the Dovo razors and some strops/brushes/holders but they were all behind glass and I didn't want to bother her with opening it just to look.

They do not blend their own bay rum as far as I could tell. When I asked the lady, she said that she has her own aftershave balm that she can add scents to. Huge selection of soaps, creams, and pre/post shave treatment. I picked up a puck of Mitchell's Wool Fat and a bottle of Royall Bay Rhum. I've never used either so I'm looking forward to my next shave.


As an aside, antique stores in Charleston are weak for razors. I must have hit about 15 shops/malls across Charleston, Mt. Pleasant and Sullivan's Island. I saw a whopping total of two straights, both ridiculously priced with little room to budge. One was a Winchester and the other was a Geneva hiding inside an I·XL coffin. They were in good shape but priced at about double what they'd probably sell for on SRP or even Ebay.
