Roadtrip Shaving Destinations

[Messygoon]

Sadly, my hometown has no brick and mortar shaving supply shops. Yet it dawned on me that had I been intentional, we could have easily made side trips to visit iconic shaving retailers during recent travels:

• Pasteur Pharmacy, New York, New York
• Maggard's, Adrian, Michigan (SE Michigan, see images below)
• Stirling, Booneville, Arkansas (Western Arkansas)

Any recommendations of other US or Canadian brick and mortar shops, artisans, or shaving events that merit a roadtrip?

Not to correct, but to clarify. Do you mean Merz? Haven’t heard of it, and it looks very cool!

The Superior Shave, somewhere in Florida.
Does Jarrod still have his “brick & mortar” store ?
My earliest shaving purchases were from his internet site.

Sorry, my bad! Thanks for the correction.

Old Town Shaving in Pasadena was a great spot for visitors to Los Angeles, and hosted some cool events, but sadly is now closed.

Sir Messygoon, methinks you need to broaden your horizon and head over the pond to London town!

I wish I had know about this store. My wife and I visited London in 2014 for a cruise out of Harwich. We stayed at a charming Bed & Breakfast hotel, near the King's Cross / St. Pancreas (s/p?) station. If it wasn't close to this location, your incredible tube system could have helped me get there! Thanks for sharing these incredibly 'enticing' pictures!

If you get to Chicago, there is a place about 30 miles north, and open 24/7.
