What's new

Shaving supplies in Brussels, and other places in Belgium.

Hello Everybody,

As I discovered DE shaving, I took interest in finding new places to buy interesting shaving stuff. I could give you good addresses for Belgian chocolate for example :)drool:), but I'll stick here to shaving stuff!

Brussels

*Di drugstores: You'll find them all over Brussels, they carry for example Tabac range, palmolive products, 4711, Gillette bleue extra blades (3.00€/10 pack)

*Colruyt stores: you'll find general stuff like gillette products, Axe, Williams, and Dorco blades under "Fresh" brand.

*Delhaize/Carrefour: nothing fancy there but you'll find IP's under local brand.

*A Pakistani grocery store (on Chaussée de Gand, 1080 Brussels, near the channel, they carry pakistani Treet Classic DE blades for 1.50€ a 10 blades pack. Definitely a good buy.

*If you want some Irisch Moos product, go to the only shop in Brussels who carry it (shop in AZ VUB hospital). Unfortunately they don't carry the soap.

*If you want more luxurious stuff, there is the "Au grand Rasoir" shop in city center (Rue de l'Hôpital 7, 1000 Brussels). The guy there has good variety but he doesn't like when you ask too many different things for which he has to open drawers (even though I bought my razor and first brush from him)...The stuff is more expensive than online, but if you're out of your favorite Feather blades for example and can't live without them, you can have a pack of 10 blades for 5€ there :)scared:)

*INNO departement store (at Rue Neuve, or Avenue Louise for example): different Merkur razors, brushes, and Merkur blades for ...7.50€ a pack of ten!

*Senteurs d'ailleurs Parfumerie: Nice choice of perfumes, Trumper shaving stuff, Acqua Di Parma, Maria Novella among others...
address: Avenue Louise 94, 1050 Brussels

Antwerp (added by flcrx)
*"The Clean Shave" in the "Wijngaardstraat", n°18

*The "Knife Shop", at "het Mechelseplein" n°7
http://www.koordenwinkel.eu/shaving/
Specialized in kitchen knifes and straight razors!

and of course
*the "Santa Maria Novella" shop, at the "Augustijnenstraat 39".
No words needed about this last one...:001_wub::001_wub::001_wub:

Jodoigne
*1barber: Another very interesting address in Belgium (not in Brussels) is "1barber" shop in Jodoigne (50km from Brussels). I buy online from his website 1barber.be (but you can also go directly to his shop), very friendly and helpful, even if he doesn't have a specific product you want, he'll try his best to order it for you.
address: Grand Place 30, 1370 Jodoigne

Don't hesitate to add if there is any other interesting addresses I missed...

Nice! I updated my first post with your addresses. I'll definitely have a look to these shops when I go there.
Regarding the Maria novella shop, tell me more plz:001_wub:, do they only carry their own brand?
 
Hey ZP...
Yes this is a shop full with those nice, but overwhelming, Italian "fragrances". They carry soaps, perfumes, essences, skin creams and hair care but also related products like liqueurs and candles, but all related to Santa Maria Novella!!!! YOU CAN'T RESIST!!!! :001_wub::001_wub::001_wub:
 
Hello,

I bought a Merkur HD in "Au grand rasoir" a few years ago. nice shop with a lot of choice!
I also bought some Feather blades at "The clean shave", very nice shop and friendly people.
I didn't know that carrefour and Delhaize sold IP blades. I will give it a try.
Here in Luxembourg we don't have so much choice but there is a supermarket call "cactus" where you can find nearly all Speick, Tabac and Irish Moos products, Wilkinson blades, omega badgers etc...

In fact if you look at the packaging (on the carrefour one), it's written "Personna, made in Isreal" something like that. The blades are cheaper at carrefour stores.

I missed your reply, but wow great job! :thumbup:
I updated a few things and from time to time I'll continue to add details and new shops.

No worries, it should be easier to find something that way! :thumbup1:
 
Just been to Brussels and had a hard time finding DE-blades in the pharmacies. Got Fresh blades in a convenience store, but no luck at Pharmacies.

Au Grand Rasoir is there and have a selection of brushes and razors. Also stock some of the standard software.
 
Just tried Delhaize CARE blades. Maybe it's me (it's only the second type of blade I tried, after derby), but they are crap: unconfortable and dragging whristles...

Anyone else tried them?
