Head Shaving, Grooming & Care > Miscellaneous
I seen somethign that was very distrubing today!
Medic aka Rocko:
My local walmart quit carrying also. I was there last week and the only thing they had was the HB Sport, no Slick or lube, and no place on the shelf for it either. I went to the clearance aisle, but didn't see anything there. The good news is K-Mart has it.

They also will have the manufacturer make it to their specifications so they will not need to meet competitor prices (i.e., their product is a bit different). HeadBlade may have chosen to not "sell out" to Wal-Mart.

Yeah, I agree with my man pruitt on this one. It's probably HeadBlade themselves deciding not to be carried at Wal-Mart anymore.
"reject?" Damn bro, feeling a little harsh are we? The poor person could be struggling through college to have a better life and maybe the very flexible schedule at Wal-Mart allows them to do what they have to do.

You do realize that the big box stores negotiate a very low price in order to keep the prices low. I read an article where Walmart wanted some brand of lawn mower to start making one over seas cheaper, basically a cheaper copy of their good quality lawn mower. The company refused, Walmart quit carrying everything from that mower company. Basically they told the company do it our way or we don't sell anything you make. I was pretty happy and amazed that the company refused to lower their quality to meet Walmart's demands. Wish I could remember the brand.
Pretty much the same way Home Depot sells John Deere now. The John Deere at Home Depot is a cheap copy made over seas. It's not up to the quality you can get from the John Deere store.

Ok well maybe calling that person a reject was a little over the line. But after the comment the associate made I dont think it matters. She was liek well I just work here there aint nothng I can do about and for all that matters to me all you skin heads can go somewhere else to buy your product and not shop at walmart anymore. Do I call that slander?? yeah i could have reported her...but didnt look she had much anyways...so waht was i going to accomplish? Putting her back out on teh streets? I am not that cold hearted.
I will be sooooo happy the day walmart finally realizes that they are the ones who are getting all the sh*t stirred up here in the states. Like the stuff from China that has lead paint on them. Remember 10 years ago..Only In the USA....yeah what happened to taht sh*t. Walmart is the biggest importer or foreign goods. Screw the Americans. Well the way I see it..What goes around..comes around. They will get their share one day. Nothing last forever.

I rarely, if ever, shop WalMart. I always get my stuff from reliable sources. WalMart is nothing more than a big warehouse full of China made crap.
You can still get your head gear online thankfully. And I'm sure there are other places to buy the HeadLube and HeadBlade. Just because WalMart discontinues it, does not mean that the world has run out. O0
And as a sidenote, if you want to see a really good video about these box mart stores, (both funny and sad because it is true), check this out:
