Do you work in the Loop Pax? If so, go to the Palmer House Hotel. Right off the lobby is a place called Merz Apothecary. I was just in there myself. They can get you set up with everything you need in one visit. Likewise, their main store is up north and may be another option for you to visit them. They have straight razors (not shave ready), brushes, soaps, creams, aftershaves, balms.....all of it.
