Thread: Soap, shave cream, after shaves etc in Southern Pines/Pinehurst NC

I am hoping some of the North Carolina members could tell me if they know of anywhere in the Southern Pines/Pinehurst area that may carry shaving accessories like soap, cream, after shaves etc? I will be making some trips down that way this week and am always interested in trying out some new products and it is nice to see some in person instead of ordering on line like I normally do. Not that on line is bad I have gotten some great products that way but it is nice to browse in person when possible. Hope you gents have a great week!

Couldn't say for sure whats in Pinehurst - searched google and came up with this gem: Extensive range of modern & traditional shaving sets, shaving razors and more from Italy

...but if you're ever in the Cary area you're welcome to come by the house and try all the soaps/creams/aftershaves that i have. I have lots of samples too that you can take home.

I may be up that way in a few weeks and if so will definatley take you up on the offer. I know I got a message from a member "lindyhop66" a couple of weeks ago and he said there are about 10-12 straight shavors in the triangle area that will get together on a Saturday sometimes so maybe that is something we could work out in the near future. Since I am still pretty new to this, and enjoying it very much, any advice or instructions on how to better care for, hone, strop, etc that I can get is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the offer and I will be in touch with you again in the near future. Have a good weekend.

Opulence of Southern Pines. Nice people, modest selection, high quality. Call first if straight razors are your first interest - can't ever be sure what they have. They also have a store in Raleigh - thin selection but all great stuff. Opulence of Southern Pines, Luxury Bedding, Luxurious Bathroom Accessories, Luxury Bath Towels, Bed Sheets

No straights but a very nice selection of DE, soaps, brushes and accessories at A Southern Season in Chapel Hill. Heavy on Edwin Jagger. About an hour or so north of Pinehurst.

Yup, i met Lindyhop66, Stropper and Nibber this weekend who are all in the triangle area -Met MisterMoo too. Theres a few of us up here. I'd be glad to bring whatever i've got to a meet up and you can run through them to see what you like and don't like.

Opulence of Southern Pines used to be right down the street from me in Cary (literally walking distance) and then they closed down - i didn't know they moved?!
If anyone wants a report of whats what i'd be happy to stop by their store and post up a list.

Hey boost. Long time no see.

The Cary Opulence store moved to Cameron Village in Raleigh; it's a few doors up from The Flying Biscuit.
