    Default no Proraso at Target?

    I went to the local Target store to buy Proraso shaving cream and see what other products were available. Just 2 months ago I bought Proraso shaving soap at the same store. I couldn't find the Proraso products in Men's section by the Spa section like last time. So I looked in the shaving section. Nothing!! So I asked one of the ladies working there about the Proraso products. She said that they weren't carrying them now. All she could recommend was buying online. Is this just isolated to norheast Iowa or all Target stores? Are there any other chain stores that carry Proraso products?

    I would say that Proraso's days at Target are
    numbered, regardless of the location. I really
    can't imagine it being a hot seller.

    Don't give up yet guys! I work at a Target for a second job and I can tell you that they are constantly puting EVERYTHING ON CLEARANCE!.

    They discontinue items for a couple of weeks and then they redo their aisle settings. I believe it is a way for them to keep the place looking nice and dust behind. They will likely return the product within a couple of weeksand perhaps ina slightly different location or display.

    It is ironic as last night I noticed the price on the remaining proraso clearance. I returned today on my lunch break and bought the brush for 6.59, the pre/post for $3something, aftershave balm for $6.59 tub soap for $1.95! Not much was left.

    If I were you guys I'd ask the head store managers of a product return and their clearance practices. I'll ask at my store tomorrow when I work again.

    I think I read somewhere that the manufactor of Proraso is discontinued. I could be wrong, but that might be the reason for the shortage.

    the problem with Target is that the Proraso creams keep running out very quickly. i have been to a target one day and they are gone the next. Also they are a bit slow to restock.

    The A/S splash is the only product that has been discontinued everything else is still on the menu

    I was at the Target in Cedar Rapids, and they were stocked full...which is a first for me as far as Target and non-disposable shaving products go. I actually found the Proraso brush I had been looking for, although I wouldn't recommend it.

    The Super Target on Blairs Ferry? I looked there and all I could find was the Proraso A/S cream. (Which I picked up...)

    Perhaps the Target shelves are being cleared for a new line of Proraso as Giovanni told us about a few days ago. http://members.boardhost.com/razoran...175949802.html
