Now im getting closer to my trip to Chicago, but im trying ti find a place to go looking for a straight razor ( i have found a barber that can shave me so i can try the feel first) but due to the traveling around and not staying at the same hotel all the time, ia store would defenitly be the best thing.

So im looking for a store that have shave ready straight razors (i have found Art Of Shave and Merz, but im not sure they are shave ready).

Allso a little tip on what to buy would be nice, i have a budget that says 200$ but that is including razor, brush, shave soap or foam, maybe pre shave oil, maybe a scuttle but i do have a cup in the kitchen that i could take for the shaving, if the money can include a strop, that would be perfect to, but i have read several places that if in need newspaper can do the trick.

If it takes a drive out of chicago, that wont be a problem, as long as we stay within 1½ hour drive, since my wife have a lot of plans
