Tokyo Wet Shaving (etc.) Shopping?

I am going to Tokyo in a few weeks.
Any suggestions on where to shop for wet shaving stuff?
I plan on visiting Ameyoko in Ueno to get the drug store available stuff.
Any recommendations in the more upscale areas? Ginza?

I also have coffee, cologne and cookware obsessions that I will be feeding.
I have already discovered Loft and Tokyu Hands for trendy cool stuff.
Thanks
 
If you're going to Tokyu Hands in Shinjuku, you should hit some of the boutiques at Takashimaya Times Square. They have just about every known fragrance for sale, but I like to check out the Comme des Garcons boutique.
Tokyu Hands is also a good place to get 4711 Eau de Portugal range (although I've found them in drugstores too).

Check out the backstreets in Ueno--hit the small, dingy drugstores for some great aftershave scores. If you're buying Feather blades, you can often save 50% of the list price by buying blades in these off the beaten path stores too.
 
Thanks folks.
I'll be staying in Shibuya so I will defiantely be checking it out there.
Tokyu Hands in Osaka had a small number of shaving things and Loft in Fukuoka also had a small selection....maybe I better look harder and make sure my Japanese speaking/reading friend is around.
Thanks again.
 
Take The Nid Hog's advice about trawling the old shopping arcades for those throwback mom n' pop drug stores and untold of riches shall be your reward.
