    Default Shaving Equipment Shop in London

    Hello there,

    I'm going to London next week and would like to know if any of you know a shop (not online, real one) where I can buy strops, hones and other shaving equipment.

    Thanks a lot
    Peace out

    There's a whole load of great shops to visit.

    A great street is Jermyn St. There's a Taylor's of Old Bond St as well as a Santa Maria Novella shop in the Piccadilly Arcade opposite TOBS. In the arcade there is also a barber shop that sells Proraso.

    Yeah, London is pretty much THE place when it comes to shaving related stuff.

    Geo. F. Trumper, Taylor of Old Bond street, Czech and Speake, Truefitt and Hill, Floris and DR Harris are some of those great places.
    They are all located on Jermyn street or pretty close to it

    Enjoy your trip!

    Do any of those places sell Thiers-Issard razors?

    I personally would steer away from buying hardware in these shops (razors,strops,hones etc) Taylor's of bond street sell Dovos that are quite a bit more expensive than Steve sells at Invisibleedge.co.uk and you get a wicked edge when they arrive, he also sells Thiers razors, excellent customer service too.

    It's great for all your soaps, balms scents ect and good for grooming accessories. It's also a lovely day out there, enjoy yourself!

    Thanks, I got myself some Proraso there last weekend. And some TOBS rose.

    My strategic reserve of shaving soap had dipped below 5 years worth, so the situation was critical.
