Best Place to Buy Lucido?

**BCatl** · 12-10-2010, 09:49 AM

Anyone know a trustworthy website to purchase Lucido AS? I'm in Atlanta and as far as I know there are no Japanese supermarkets here.

ORLY?

No idea if it's all that great, but the reviews suggest they sell personal hygiene products, which may include AS.

I ordered some MANDOM from these guys once. I think it shipped from California, not all the way from Japan, if I remember correctly. They threw in some samples too.

That website has some cool stuff. Thanks for the link.

Feather makes a disposable razor, and KAI has a 4 bladed cartridge system. Who knew?

Thanks for the information everyone. I'll call the local store tommorrow and see if they carry it first.

There is always the bay... But it is crazy expensive there.
I just bought the same bottle at my local Japanese supermarket, Mitsuwa, for $9.

It is great stuff.

Wow, that bottle looks awesome!!! I might have to get some just to class up my bathroom

Anyone who's tried Lucido also tried Speick? If so, how do they compare? Right now Speick is my go to aftershave lotion.

Wow, you read my mind. I was just about to ask how good this stuff is for cleaning up and repairing skin after a rough shave, and my baseline is also Speick.

I'm a sucker for the glass bottle too...

First things first, I like Speick, a very healing splash.

I love Lucido, super healing, soothing and cooling. All without a scent, which I am finding as a huge advantage over Speick. While I enjoy it's scent, it can grow tiresome. The beauty of Lucido is that it never gets old, you can use it everyday and apply any edt afterwards, without interference.

The glass bottle of Lucido out classes the Speick bottle with it's simple elegance. The Lucido bottle feels substantial and natural in the hand.

Speick still has a place in my den, but Lucido has moved to the head of the class.

I ordered 2 bottles from RoyalShave and they arrived earlier than expected.

Wow, high praise indeed. Thanks Montecristo!

ASAD. Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in.

For the US-PNW shavers out there, I just found this at Uwajimaya Japanese Grocery for $11.50.

My default mode (unjustly?) has always been non-alcohol, so I have to admit the fantastic bottle and praise given here (not to mention the simple thrill of actually finding a high-quality shave product at a brick and mortar) were what made me pull the trigger. Btw, the bottle is still exactly the same as xillion's pic above with the exception being the cool Kanji on the cap has been moved to the top of the bottle - a half sticker 90-degree-cantilevered off the top edge with the addition of some added Hiragana (see RoyalShave's pic). I just peeled it off the glass and stuck it on the cap - perfection. :)

As already alluded to, this is my first alcohol AS and I was pleasantly shocked at how great this stuff is. I guess this now means I will be suffering from alcohol ASAD...

Wrong!!!!!!! there is a Japanese market called Tomato in the Atlanta area. It's pronounced to-mah-to. They have a selection of grooming products but I don't know about any specific goods they carry. The store is Japanese only and mostly food products. Google them.

This is possibly the best A/S I've come across. Thanks to Nidhog on his thread " In praise of Japanese aftershave". This also compliments the Artisan Razorock Boston tea party soap. Used both half hour ago and my face feels moisturized. The beauty of his A/S is it's light on the skin, without scent and has a light (like Proraso ) menthol touch. Then it comes in a reusable glass bottle. Winner!

Edit: Found this at my local Japanese market Ito's! YES!
