Sure? They aren't in the shaving section.

Yep, i started out at the shaving section, then i went over all of the aisles in the pharmacy area which has all of the toiletries and sundries. I couldn't find a Spa section so maybe i did miss one aisle.

In my Target, the SPA section was closer to the cosmetics than the shaving supplies. Drop in again and take another look. Also, asking for the SPA section may get better results than asking for Proraso by name.

RTaylor, you were right. I went and found the proraso right near the cosmetics. I picked some aftershave balm up to try.

I've been working on some of their soap in the little green plastic container. Lathers up well, nice aroma. My local Target had some products other than the Proraso as well, although I can't remember the name. It was mainly creams, but the second line had a brush as well.

LADIES' SPA & COSMETIC SECTION???!!! Good Grief! No wonder I couldn't find the stuff. I used to love Target's shaving section. The only place in town where I could find Wilkinson DE blades. I've been miffed since they closed their store on my end of town, stopped carrying ANY DE blades, and mug shaving soap. I'll have to investigate the (shudder!) Ladies' spa section next time my wife drags me up there.

I wouldn't say it's in the Ladies Spa & Cosmetic section. At my local target there was a sizeable section that was men's stuff. Soaps, creams, brushes, facial scrubs. Our Target has had a remake & it's in what I can only describe as the metrosexual section.

Well, I guess metrosexual is a step up. Maybe. Gee, do I miss the old Pioneer Barber Supply that used to be in town. What a great place that was!

Yeah, there's a barber supply store near downtown Oklahoma City. The guy who runs the place is probably in his early 70's I'd guess. Neat old fellow. He'll chat with you & demonstrate stropping, honing and is quite a dictionary on the history of shaving.

Today I bought the Proraso Brush from Target. I wanted to get a better brush than the one I had from a local drugstore. Not only is the Proraso brush larger than a typical drugstore brush but it seems softer. I think the $12.99 was well worth the money. I currently can not afford to spend the kind of money a badger brush would require but I wanted to upgrade slightly. I think this brush wiil do just fine for the time being. I sure could do without that new boar smell though.
