Seattle Shave Convention - 2016 - Seattle Shave Convention

Any Seattle Locals have inside info on Shaving Related Brick & Mortar within traveling distance from the Shave Con? Driving back/forth from the last couple Shave Cons it just seems like there is a wealth of stuff tucked into nooks and crannys here and there:

- Traditional Barbershops
- Wet Shaving Supplies
- Specialty/Antique Stores
- Cigar Shops Of Note
- Restaurants
- Bars
- Coffee Shops
- Misc?

Locals always know the secret, cool places so share them here if you would be so kind, please. :-)
