Shaving shops in San Francisco

**neilz4** · 08-04-2012, 03:01 AM

I am taking a trip to SF in a few days and will only have a couple days there with three others (girlfriend, +friend and his girlfriend). Given the crowd and their general disinterest in my hobby I would say I can only manage to persuade one shaving store stop without angering them too much.

So, B&B, where do I stop in SF?

You can find a L Occitane in the San Francisco center on Market street they also have a Art of Shaving (but who doesn't). If you want more exotic fair you can find Omni Chemist on Union street, they carry a lot of products, mostly from Europe and they have a pretty good mark up, they have a decent size shaving section with lots of familiar brands. Union street has lots of shops and restaurants so you can stroll the street looking for eats and just "happen" to run in to Omni. If you are in to English fashion try Cable Car Clothiers on Sutter st (101 I think) they carry shaving supplies but their prices are ridiculous but they have some hard to find high end stuff.

PS, I second the Nancy Boy, they have great products and there are restaurants nearby that aren't too bad.

+1 on the L'Occitane and the AOS stores. There's also a small shop on Market St. named Grant's Tobacconist that carries some Razorock soaps, Proraso, Cella and Col Conk stuff, along with some razor blades. Enjoy your trip!

+1 on Nancy Boy shop. Guaranteed the ladies with you will love that shop as well! It is nice inside and you can smell all their creams and decide which one you like the most. Also for some stellar Chinese food be sure to stop by Lung Shan (Mission Chinese Food) in the Mission District!

REALLY?!?! I've been in Grant's many times for pipe related purchases. I'm going to have to check out their shaving stuff next time.
