Thread: Art of Shaving Creams?

I've not been to an AoS store either (don't think there are any around here), but their prices are easy to compare on a site selling similar (rival) products.

Is it just me or do others think there are many companies out there that are caching in big time on this sudden explosion in the use of traditional shaving methods?

My point exactly! They tried this crap with me too! I've seen them take advantage of poor unknowing souls with this misinformation and it makes me really angry. Anyway....

You should've put them straight, imho.

I found what annoyed me about AOS store was that their sales help is clueless. One woman told me that the Dovo they were selling was sharp enough right out of the box and you only needed to hone a razor every few years. I chuckled and left.
