You carry an very wide variety of product selections.

I can't think of anything you do not already have listed on your site.

ebay would be easy to beat, amazon----------you could beat, not much profit,but enought to make a 1.00 + a stick-----

The problem is that the Arko distributor sells on Ebay and Amazon and offers the general public the same wholesale price that he offers vendors. It simply does not work. Remember that I also have to pay transaction fees (credit card fees, website fees etc). I carried Arko for close to two years and it was not profitable for me.

I've been looking at combs recently and would be interested in the Vie-Long hair combs if they became available.

**Col Finley** · 07-07-2012, 11:38 PM

Would be interesting to see some products from markets to which we don't normally have access. India, Russia, etc. I can only suppose there is a reason why you don't have Truefitt and Hill products. Actually, you have a great
line up. I will be looking to you in the future.

Would love to see some Provence Sante Green Tea After Shave and Cologne added, along with some twist up type containers for various shaving soaps to be made into sticks. Also would like to see the RR bath soap line added to your existing RR line up :)

I used to carry the Provence Sante aftershaves and colognes and I may bring them back in the fall. I may add the RR bath soaps down the road a bit. As for twist up containers, you can buy them at SKS Bottle Company. It would not be profitable for me to carry them.

I hope to carry Truefitt & Hill in the future. When I asked a year or so ago they were not accepting additional retailers. I do not have a good and reliable source in India or Russia. I used to import some Indian products but became uneasy with the process.

I did not know Vie-Long made combs. All I have seen are shave brushes and make-up brushes. I need to investigate.

The Alvarez Gomez Madrid sounds interesting and I will definitely inquire.

I used to carry Klar. Now that I have more space, I may bring it back in the future.

I've been on the lookout for more hard to find shave sticks. What came to mind are the Williams shave sticks out of South Africa, by A.J. North. I saw the distribution site at www.fastmoving.co.za. Would be nice to find this product in the U.S. Getting tired of outrageous bidding on eBay for the vintage Williams shave sticks, and I know these new production sticks are not the same, but would like to be able to get this product, and I would be in for several sticks if they were available.

Godrej shaving creams. Getting tube correctly from India is difficult.

**mesmo** · 10-18-2012, 09:37 PM

Jabonman shaving soap

Klar Kabinett Soap will arrive well before the holidays. I am still considering whether to add Alvarez Gomez

How about Gillette Blacks from India?

I appreciate the suggestion but I am not looking to add additional DE blades at this time. DE blades are typically ordered at least 10,000 at a time and they do not move all that quickly (with a few exceptions). I may revisit this in the future but am set for DE blades right now.
