Where to buy nice men's shaving supplies?

H would like a nice razor and shaving brush for Christmas. Not an electric razor, but a nice straight razor or double edged safety razor. And a real boar bristle brush. The only ones I've found in the stores are synthetic. Any ideas on where to go?

Re: Where to buy nice men's shaving supplies?

  • Do you have a The Art of Shaving store?  I haven't bought anything there but it looks like it has good stuff.  http://www.theartofshaving.com
  • Nordstroms Mens fragrance dept.

    As opposed to mean men's shaving supplies?...  Wink  Just kidding with you.

  • I don't think I have one of those in Portland...

    I guess I can order online - I just like shopping.

    It's true. His current mean razor beats him up every time. It's why he needs a nice one.

    That's great.  LMAO.  I definitely understand this.  My DH just uses disposable.  What a cool gift idea (nice shaving supplies).

    At Christmas, Nordstrom's sells The Art of Shaving gift sets.

    H wants the same things (safety razor, badger bristle brush, nice shaving cream.) Nordstrom does carry nice brushes, but they do not have safety razors. The Art of Shaving razors are actually just really nice, heavy (expensive!) handles for Gillette heads. You'll probably have to buy the actual razor online; that's what I'm going to do.

    Oh, and I nearly bought him an AoS brush and stand for our anniversary. I went to the store, picked up the items I liked and noticed there were no price tags. I knew they were pricier, but figured I'd still get out for around $120; I mean, how expensive can a little stainless stand be? Turns out, they were $130 and $120, respectively. Surprise I was really embarrassed, but I had to have the guy cancel the transaction. I guess I'm naive, but I did not expect it to be that much!

    (Men's Shave Shop) Actually, there is another store in the Pittsburgh area call Joseph Barber & Company (you can google) that is currently only doing online sales.  They are like the art of shaving but sale different name brands and some they sale, fine imported shaving creams, razors and shaving sets.  The shaving sets they order around Christmas time and I was told they can’t keep in stock, really top shelve stuff.  They do a pre-order during father’s day and Christmas and order for Bridesmengifts as well.  It’s really a guy’s oasis and they are trying to expand and grow.  They sale lady razors as well. Great customer service!  It’s www.joe-barber.com and they have a newsletter signup for sales and promos.  The rose shaving cream is excellent!
