I've done quite a bit of research on various shaving products, creams, soaps, AS's, ASBs, skin foods, skin milks, colognes, etc. from the three T's, D.R. Harris, and others, and yet I've realized one very important point:
Reading the descriptions of the various fragrances (from Astor to Sandalwood and its many incarnations) is lovely, but reading a scent and smelling it are two completely different things. I have no idea what vetiver, cassis, and half this other stuff smells like, so it's difficult (impossible?) to really know what I'd like until I've ordered it online and gotten it out of the box and sniffed it in person. Assuming the said product cannot be returned after opening, this can be a considerable monetary risk, depending on the product(s).
I live in a small town in Georgia (U.S.) on the fringe of civilization, so my question is this: Does anyone know of any brick and mortar shops in the Atlanta metro area, Columbus, Macon, or anywhere in that geographic triangle that sells the good shaving products (especially the 3 T's)? I haven't seen anything online other than a barber supply store, but I don't want a barber chair or barber pole......yet.
