Art of Shaving stores definitely get mixed reviews here--but I want to share this. Walking through Oak Brook mall today (outside of Chicago), I hemmed and hawed about going into their store. Having been through Loccitane, C and E, Nordstroms and Niemans I wasn't really sure how excited I was about continuing this hunting and gathering trip.
And...I was quite pleasantly surprised--they guys working were great. I spent a little bit of time talking to them, and while they explained their various wares to me (and I do use their sandalwood stuff) they expressed quite a bit of wet shaving knowledge and we had an nice conversation about the various Merkurs and different AOS brushes they sell; and they even listened as I told them about my love for vintage Gillettes and re knotted brushes.
If you are in the area, it is worth stopping by.
