Thread: In Houston, TX for the week

Well I've found myself in Houston through Tuesday of next week & I was wondering if anyone could recommend any shaving shops in town. I'd like to browse & possibly pick up one or two new razors while I'm down here, maybe a second brush to keep at home so I don't have to keep packing up every last little thing when I travel which is quite often.

Of course, if there are any members down here who'd be interested in meeting up one evening & showing off their collection I'd equally love to see that too!

Ken,

I don't live to far from Houston, but I know nothing really of the shave shops there. There is a Art of Shaving in the Woodlands mall which is just outside of Houston. I believe they do shaves there too. That's about all the info I have. But you should eat at Fogo De Chao if you like steak. Go for lunch it's half priced and just out standing.

Hey thanks. Woodlands mall, is that off I-45 between Houston & Conroe?

I believe so but don't make me lie to you. I'd google it just to be safe.

Found it! I was disappointed at first as they only had 5 plain, ugly straight razors to choose from. I'd hoped to pick up one or two to have a good basis for my honing practice, but I just couldn't bring myself to buy one of them. I wound up leaving with some sandalwood cream and a new travel brush. It has longer bristles and a slightly larger bunch, which I've been wanting.

I must agree with mdixon2124. I have lived in the Houston area (give or take 40 miles) my whole life. Houston is known for a lot of things but shave shops are not one of them...but on the other hand Fogo de Chao is outstanding for lunch!
