    Ashley and Sal helped us out when we visited a couple of weeks ago on a random Thursday afternoon along our travels. My husband is a shaving hobbyist for quite some time following/watching - I'd Lather be Shaving - Razor Emporium channel since the beginning on YouTube. It would've been neat to meet Matt but knew it was most likely not an option. We vacationed in Lake Havasu, so on our way back it was a must stop! Ashley was highly knowledgeable on products, and recommendations as well as such a sweet person. We also met Sal whom stopped by unexpectedly while we were there so my husband had a chance to discuss with him some history of shaving, and he also pointed out his favorites in the store. We definitely did not "need" to purchase any more soaps or products but just had to! If you check in on Yelp you get 10% off ... which helped on how much we spent. :) My husband has almost as much product in his own inventory so trust me we purchased some new soaps and items out of the factor that we were there in person. We also purchased some excellent Xmas gifts for others that appreciate the quality restored items and or new ones sold here along with soaps/aftershaves. Thank you both for such a pleasant visit.

    Razor Emporium is a MUST for the Wet Shaving enthusiast! Whether you are just beginning or an expert, this is your one stop shop. They have everything you need no matter your budget. DJ was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about all their products. I especially appreciate her honesty with my order. I was willing to spend more money on my order, but she talked me out of it, because she didn't think I needed it. For just this very fact along (however there are many), I will only buy from Razor Emporium in the future. She even through in some freebies, going above and beyond my customer service expectation. I am a raving fan of Razor Emporium and I know you will be also. Buy with confidence and know their customer service is second to none. Happy shaving!

    Two shipments worth of a wrong or missing item.

    I wanted to give a DE razor a try. After watching some videos, I decided on a parker 91R. I also figured I would get a brush, a pre-shave bar, some shave cream and a brush/razor combo stand. Ordered the items on 2/11/23. They didn't ship out until about 5 day slater. I needed to provide a prompt to initiate the shipping. Because they waited as long as they did, the order would have been received on a Monday (10 days after it was ordered). However, the Monday it would have arrived was a USPS Holiday so it didn't arrive until 2/21/23. Opening the box, the stand was missing. I let them know that the order was incomplete. About two days later, and after another prompt, they told me they shipped the item. I received the package and though there was a stand in the box, it was not what I had ordered. It was a brush stand. I had decided on ordering from Razor Emporium because the price was the lowest (by about 10 bucks overall). However, in retrospect, I had strongly considered buying from Amazon because I would have received the items within 48 hours. Next time Amazon. These guys don't care enough to pay attention to detail. Which is another way of saying they don't necessarily appreciate your business.

    One has to be a sleuth to find this place! Not really, but it is difficult to find the storefront even with the directions on the website. I visited once many years ago when the shop was up off the 17 and I figured it was time to see the new location. Same great products at a great value. It really is the best place for vintage razor service, be it a revamp or a tune up. They have a decent selection of local artisan products but also some of the bigger European brands. If you are in the downtown Phoenix area its definitely worth a visit.

    The custom kit Tiffany helped my husband build. He loves it. And his face has never felt smoother, so I love it too!

    Matt made me feel right at home, from telling what date he believes my vintage razor was made ( 1895 -1905) to setting me up with a daily straight razor, strop, shaving soap.

They explained that the "tester bottle may have oxidized," and there was no actual shade that matched the sample. YET they refused to give me my money back because the full sized product had been opened. What kind of customer service is that? Never shop here unless you know exactly what you want and/or don't care if they keep your money.

A short but sweet review is that Lather makes wonderful products that are naturally based and have the functionality & quality you'd expect from other high end product lines but using ingredient lists you can feel good about and trust. I absolutely love this brand and will continue to be a customer, as I've tried almost all of the products they make and we are lucky in AZ to have a brick and mortar location since there aren't many. I also purchase products online from them when I don't have time to stop in the store. Their loyalty program is really great with accumulating points that translate to discounts on purchases and special VIP sale events. I love the smell of the products and when you step into the storefront it's beautifully set up and smells very nice.

I "wore" the…read morecologne, and my GF didn't notice it at all, even though she always compliments me when I wear the real deal. The purchase was a big bust, I returned it about a week later, and a different worker was there. I politely explained the issue and expected I would be offered a credit/refund/ or store credit in some reasonable amount. Instead, she was not interested in doing the right thing, was defensive, and said I was unclear about my complaint. My complaint was straightforward and clear. When she sensed that I was confused by her "argument," I just pivoted and said, "ok, that is a bad decision by you". Some people should not have front-facing jobs. They should work in a warehouse, communicating with software and forklifts, away from the public. This frumpy gal would probably be a great forklift driver. She has no business in customer service - she may own the shop, and that is even worse. That section of 7th Ave is full of nice mom and pop stores with nice folks = not Lotions & Potions. There are plenty of similar stores nearby - GO THERE!

We originally went to visit…read morethe crystal shop in the same plaza which was an emotional let down (just not warm and friendly). Stopped in here to see if we could leave the plaza on a positive note and we certainly did. The store is filled with a variety of scents for you to sample and choose from to make lotions, roll-on fragrance and more! There are also some great body care options like bath bombs, and other accessories to choose from to make a meaningful gift for any occasion. I remember as a kid experiencing a smaller version of this in Santa Monica and much to my surprise my 12 year old chose the EXACT scent I loved then as well. Out of hundreds of choices she chose "China Rain"!! Both ladies working there are VERY knowledgeable about the scents and also what dupes they have for expensive fragrances you would find at commercial retailers. Their enthusiasm is a little intense but all kind spirited and for the love of what they do. I think this is a definite stop for individuals and families who appreciate body care and customization products. It's a fun way to explore making personal scented items, support a local business and take something home unique. Thanks to technology and the internet, you can even order anything online and have it shipped to you from their shop. For those who are scent-sensitive they offer unscented products as well. But if you're susceptible to sneezing like my father is, stay outside or grab a coffee across the street, while the rest of the family shops and has fun.

    After just leaving from this store and reading the reviews my experience makes sense now…read more As I walk into the store, mind you I'm a tall man that doesn't always wear designer clothes or all black so today I'm wearing my gym clothes, the older women behind the counter hones in on me and asked me what I'm looking for. Already assuming I have never been in a cosmoprof. After I say to her that I'm looking for travel shampoo and conditioner she continues to ask me if I'm a licensed professional. Now mind you for those who don't know this store is only for licensed professionals. Which I have been for 15 years. I proceed to let her know how rude it is to assume because I'm a man that I don't belong there. How do I know it's because of my appearance is because this isn't the first time it's happened. Now it's never happened right when I walk into the door but it's happened. I also know it's because of my appearance since my wife is an esthetician and she has NEVER been asked that question. Every woman I know in the industry has never been asked before either. So the idea her explanation of "I ask all new faces that walk in" is complete BS!!!!! I choose this industry because it's suppose to be a business of no judgement. Yet the store we need to go to buy our supplies judges. This women wasn't resentful or sorry for judging me. She was full of excuses and reasons why she did what she did. There's nothing more annoying than someone who can't just own their mistakes. And she was full of them. She had no interest for a suggestion to maybe treat her customers better. Again with an excuse. As I walk out of the store it reads on the door "licensed professionals only" I think to myself and look back and say to the women it even says it on the door. She either assumed I couldn't read or I was going to try and get the products without a license. Either way she thought I didn't belong. I have been to dozens and dozens of cosmoprofs. From Seattle to Phoenix and by far this women was the peach of them all. Avoid this store at all costs. Maybe they won't make any money and will have to move on from what seemed to be a manager that is tanking a store.
