Thread: Razors in London, UK

Stuart and Rum:

Gentlemen, thank you for the invitation. I love London. After all, any city that has Harrods, the pubs and all those glorious shave shops must be the front yard to paradise.

Thank you, Rum, for sending the maps, too. I stumbled onto Jermyn Street on my first trip there a long time ago. So here I was, humming Stephane Grapelli's tune "Jermyn Street" — I mean when on Jermyn Street . . . — and I come upon this shave shop. What's this? What's this? Was it Trumper's, Taylor's? I forget. Which one is on Jermyn Street? I lost sense of time. How long I was in that delightful shop I forget. It was worth every moment.

So, gentlemen, I will see you in London one of these days. Stay well, and thanks again.

Regards,

Obie

Thanks. I appreciate the tips. I've only got an afternoon free in London so hopefully I can hit up a few of the shops mentioned.

A professional shave might be a nice experience. Any idea what one would pay for a shave at a place like Trumpers? I couldn't see it on their website.

Well, I wouldn't go as far as calling London paradise

You're welcome any time. My guess is that you probably stumbled on both - Trumper's and Taylor's are both on Jermyn Street. It's quite a long road (for London's standards I guess it's long, not compared to some roads in the USA). T&H and Harris aren't far off either on St. James'. Have a lovely trip all!!
