Thanks for sharing the video tour, Kevy. I live in the U.S. and I'll most likely never visit these shops in person. TOBS produces my favorite shave creams of all time. Cheers!
Of all the shops shown, I think had I been shopping for things to bring home, it would be Taylor of Old Bond Street. Not only did their shop look like its saying "Welcome customers!" by your accounts they seem to be the most accommodating, which reflects on both their service and pride of what they sell. Unlike a certain shop that when customers complain about its soap not lathering and dissipating in mere seconds, get sent an "instructional" on how to lather with a brush.
Good show, Kevy! Thanks for taking us all along with you on your trip! I do have to say that Mrs. Kevy is a true sport for helping with the video. You are a lucky man, Kevy! Cheers! -Rob
Very nice! I like the fact that you made the whole walking tour, showing the streets and where to turn. Nice to know how close they actually are from each other. Fun to watch. Now show us everything you bought in each store.
Wow I live in London so must have a butchers at these shops now I'm a de fan, Thanks kevy. Maybe I'll pop in and make an impulse buy as well. Those brushes look great. Gazzatron the cockney sparrow over n out.
Nice one. I used to go and stay at my sister's house for the summer holidays when I was younger. She stayed in Islington. Great times, love London. Yes, take a trip up West to visit those shops. Cheers. Kevy 👍
That was an awesome video. Reminds me that I missed a couple of those shops, but stayed in that specific Floris boutique for quite a while sampling their products.
You walked past Czech and Speake too. Not quite as old as some of the others but their fragrances are of incredibly high quality. I haven't tried their shaving soaps yet but if they're anything like as good as the fragrances they'll be worth it
@@kevyshaves4109 I couldn't believe it! and the only one open breaks my skin out so I bought my mate something. At 5:15 in your video there is a couple of shaving shops in the arcade you quickly turn and look at, lower end stuff like arko; and floid etc
Yes, I've been in there before. That's why I kinda turned the camera that way. I just didn't have time to film them all. I wanted to show the well known ones. Wasn't sure if I would make it up to the Muhle shop even but it's not that far from where I was. Kevy 👍
Taylor of oldbond street is me favourite shop but I went to Scotland in the summer to ride the nc500 and I stopped at the groom room in Scotland and told the man I had see the shop on RUclips and he new you and he even give me some blades thanks for the video m8
Hi Colin. I love visiting Taylor of Old Bond Street when I visit London. The Groom Room is a brilliant little shop and Ian, the owner is a top class bloke. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍
Thanks for the video, I visited many of the same shops years ago. I've always wondered why we didn't have similar ones in the United States. We can get a razor anywhere, but hardly anything to make shaving more than a chore and a necessary evil. Oh, well, a few hundred more years and we might have long enough to develop"old world" traditions.
Nice to have so many shops so close. I'm jealous. The closest to me is 76 miles away, or a little over 122 kilometers, from me. Thank goodness for the internet.
Good evening Kevy! Thank you for doing the London Shave Shop video. This is great stuff. I might just get a chance to tour these and do a bit of replenishment. I am particularly fond of the TOBS Sandalwood Talc. How did the Royal Forest aftershave smell?
Thanks for sharing this! Looks like Mühle only sells it’s own products (of which they seem to have plenty) while the others also sell other brand razors?
great video Mr K only one slight criticism (if I may) please pan the camera slightly more slowly so we can see the products better but thank you very much for publishing this
Really nice, a wet shavers heaven. After the pandemic is over you should do one like this in other countries. Where most of the shaving products come from, i.e. Italy, Turkey, India, Japan, Russia and Germany.
didnt even occur to me to visit these places last time i was in london, may have to fill up the suitcase next time im there. truefitt & hill 1805 is my favourite shaving scent ever.
These are amazing shops. I've never been to London. We have a brand in Australia called shaver shop. Think they're maybe between 100 and 140 stores across Australia New Zealand. But they don't sell stuff like these London shops. It's mainly electrical and hair equipment. So is wet shaving in London. A big thing with men? And because there is so many stores close by, is there competitive between business as in specials etc? Cheers
Nice video, and I know you will appreciate this- I just saw Buddy Guy live. Took my wife against her will, and she loved him. 82yrs old and he's still rocking it! Hope u are well, buddy!
Thanks Trevor. Brilliant! Great to know he's still going strong. I made the pilgrimage to Chicago a few years ago and visited all the Blues haunts. His club was in a different location back then but it was great to visit. I didn't see him but I have seen him when he visited the UK a couple of times. If I'm ever in your neck of the woods, we should go see a Blues gig sometime. Cheers. Kevy 👍
very nice video , all these stores with very old furniture, amazing , also all the products perfect and beautiful presentation, we need some stores like that in Mexico , but Mexicans are not wet shavers , they use match 3 and Gillette shaving foam
Thanks for sharing these shops, Kevy. Great to see these companies doing well enough to maintain such shops. Wouldn't it be interesting to see them all under one roof? 'Wet Shavers Mall' ;-}>
Damn, working in Regent Street would have love to have met up and taken you to the local Italian after all the filming. Next time maybe. Super interesting insight.
What a great video, Kevy. Thanks a lot. 💈👍 Besides shaving stuff, that we are all in constant need of... 🤣 ... you also need a new video camera with a better stabilizer.
Thanks for the very informative video. Amazing shops. I wonder if any professional videographers can offer tips on filming these types of footage? Maybe not pan around so quickly or stay focused on a wide angle for a bit so it's not always shifting views so quickly?
I agree. I was in a rush to film as much as I could but looking back on the footage, it would've been better to focus on certain items then pan the camera back to a wider shot. Cheers. Kevy 👍
You walked past Floris! Kevy : You walked past Floris! And Jesus said to his Deciples "I know there's a table booked, but who fancies Domino's?" Nice walk through and it's great to see up close. My only regret was Czech and Speake moving, so I didn't have time to go there. Truefit is beautifully laid out... Then there's TOBS. No room to swing a Badger!😂
I just didn't have enough time to visit them all and film inside them to try and do,them justice. Next time. Where did Czech and Speake move to? Kevy 😀👍
Nice video it’s amazing they would let you film it LOL oh my God make me laugh I got to film and visit Patek Philippe in Swizerland they allow me and soap company they wouldn’t I think it’s the people inside working ..overall nice video and Love Taylor of Old Bond Street good Company very good products as well as Dr. Harris they stand for they Products behind... Cheers Alan H
Kevy Shaves Hi Kevy Well my whole point is I really don’t see a big deal and you as RUclipsr do great job promoting all products and reviewing and to me that’s huge out of you to do that... Anyways as you said rules are rules but let me tell you as Horology Collector and I have some very expensive collection and I seen places and video it no problem lol.. Just makes me laugh lol
Let me know how is the smell of new Taylor of Old Bond new Cologne that juts came out.. What a great company and Dr.Harris really Outstanding Company Love It and their Customer Satifaction
Kevy Shaves nice I’ll give it a try..I buy usually all products from UK and soaps and deliver to here in Canada so I’m quite happy delivery very fast 3 days faster than getting mail from Canada lol.. Cheers Alan
amazing all these old stores from london, so beautiful and so nice , also what a huge amount of soaps , brushes etc and all with amazing quality.
My Gaaaawd! A mans dreams come true wish we had something like this in Denver Colorado USA
Thank you so much for bringing us along for this adventure... I've always wanted to see how DR Harris looked inside and Taylor of old Bond.
That was great, Kevy (and Mrs Kevy)! Thanks for thinking of us and sharing it.
Thank you Jack. 😀
Thanks for sharing the video tour, Kevy.
I live in the U.S. and I'll most likely never visit these shops in person.
TOBS produces my favorite shave creams of all time.
Cheers!
@Gmar80 Thanks for the reply. I hope you find a cream that doesn't irritate your face.
Cheers and good shaving to you!
Thanks for sharing with us Kevy!
Very cool! Thanks for sharing, Kevy!
I am over on the other side of the Pond but I’m heading to London next month. I plan to visit these shops. Thanks for posting!

Which one?
Beautiful shops & London! TY for sharing.(VLS)
Thanks so much for sharing. I will definitely check these shops out online. 👍
Great tour Kevy, thanks for sharing. Next time in London I will visit them too.
Beautiful video Kevy,absolutely wonderful things !!!
Good show, Kevy! Thanks for taking us all along with you on your trip! I do have to say that Mrs. Kevy is a true sport for helping with the video. You are a lucky man, Kevy!
Cheers! -Rob
The BRITS are Classic! Thank you for sharing Sir Kevy!
The busy life of an international man of mystery. 👍
Such a relaxing video
Thanks for the heads up. Heading to London in September. Can't wait to see these shops up close!
Excellent tour of the most famous shaving shops sir, thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks
Zuber
I love using Taylor of Old Bond Street have been using Shaving Cream since 2021. My dad has been using Taylor of Old Bond Street Lavender forever!
Thank you for the tour. 👍
What a wonderful tour! Thanks for sharing your day with us. Oh, how I long to visit England.
Thanks for sharing Kevy, so many beautiful things. Hope you had a great trip.
Have a Great day Carol from Florida ☀️
Thanks Carol 👍
Incredible! Just to be able to walk into such great stores is amazing. Where I live, we have nothing LOL
Loved this video Kevy! Great job! Hope you had a great time on your trip.....take care and I’ll see you on the next one!
Very nice Kevy. That would be nice to visit a few of those stores.
A very Hip, Urban, Cosmopolitan and most of all COOL video retrospective of your London Adventure. Thanks for sharing. ;-)
Great vedio man, fantastic idea loved it
🍻 Cheers
I don't know how I missed this video when it was new! 🙃 Glad it showed up in my feed! Very cool to see inside the shops! 👍💈😎

Kevy, thanks for the tour of the great British shave shops.
I must give them a visit one day.
Great video, thanks kevy 👍😁
Great video Kevy, was great to see the shops mate. Take care of yourself. 😉👍
Very nice! I like the fact that you made the whole walking tour, showing the streets and where to turn. Nice to know how close they actually are from each other. Fun to watch. Now show us everything you bought in each store.
Ha ha! I didn't buy that much...remember...Mrs. Kevy was in attendance! 😂
Thanks for sharing this Kevy.
I'll be going to London for a week, later in the year, so it's wetted my appetite for visiting them while I'm there.
Thanks for the ride along, it was great.
Thank you for sharing. Please visit Floris 89 and maybe Penhaligon‘s next time, too 🙏
I will 👍

Great visit Kevy, they are quite close aren't they....hope you had a nice weekend :-)
Cheers Paul. Yes, had a great time.. Kevy 👍
Thank you kevy! This is one of my favorite videos 💖
That was an awesome video. Reminds me that I missed a couple of those shops, but stayed in that specific Floris boutique for quite a while sampling their products.
That's a great shop. Hopefully the next time I visit, I'll have more time to stop in there too. Cheers. Kevy 😀
When I visit London, I'll be sure to visit these shops
You walked past Czech and Speake too. Not quite as old as some of the others but their fragrances are of incredibly high quality. I haven't tried their shaving soaps yet but if they're anything like as good as the fragrances they'll be worth it
Nice tour of the shops. Must’ve been an awesome experience.
It was great fun, just wish I'd had more time. Kevy 😀
Thanks Kevy; I went down last August and it was a bloody bank holiday and they were all shut apart from TOBS! was ragin a wee bit :-)
Ha ha!! You'll need to go there again sometime then. Kevy

Plan to visit whenever 'normal' is, I'm an hour from London by train. Wish we had some in Essex. :)
Very interesting to see. Maybe one day I can check those out. The big thing would be to walk out of there with out purchasing anything. Well done Sir.
Nice shops. Too bad about Geo F Trumper not complying. Thanks for the tour. Enjoy!
Yes, but rules are rules. 😀
Awesome!
Nice video as usual!
Taylor of oldbond street is me favourite shop but I went to Scotland in the summer to ride the nc500 and I stopped at the groom room in Scotland and told the man I had see the shop on RUclips and he new you and he even give me some blades thanks for the video m8

I can’t wait to go to London just to go inside the shaving shops
Nice video Kevy👌
Nice to have so many shops so close. I'm jealous. The closest to me is 76 miles away, or a little over 122 kilometers, from me. Thank goodness for the internet.
Beautiful city Kevy and very cool shops, thank you for sharing! Who the hell doesn't know who "Kevy Shaves" is? :)
Ha ha! Cheers! Sometimes I forget! Why do you think I use a mirror? 😂
As a Scotsman, you should visit Castle Forbes if they have places to visit.
I sent them a message about visiting, but they never replied. Kevy 🙂
@@kevyshaves4109 Shame
Good evening Kevy! Thank you for doing the London Shave Shop video. This is great stuff. I might just get a chance to tour these and do a bit of replenishment. I am particularly fond of the TOBS Sandalwood Talc. How did the Royal Forest aftershave smell?
Cheers Todd. The aftershave smells exactly the same as the soap. Last maybe about 2-3 hours. Kevy 😀👍
Thanks for sharing this! Looks like Mühle only sells it’s own products (of which they seem to have plenty) while the others also sell other brand razors?
Yes, Muhle only sell their own stuff. The others sell different things. Kevy
Hi Kevy- Thank you for the tours of these great shaving shops! It’s much appreciated! I hope your week is going well and all the best!
Thanks for the cool video 👍
Did you try Taylor's Sandlewood aftershave. I fancy trying it
Yes, it has a great scent. 👍
Ah to have a store, any store near me. Thanks for sharing. I need to get something to wipe up the drool now.
Magboy Creations right!
Ha ha! 😂😀👍
great video Mr K only one slight criticism (if I may) please pan the camera slightly more slowly so we can see the products better but thank you very much for publishing this

I don't think it's necessarily bigger in London than elsewhere, those shops have been there for many many years. Kevy 😀
If I ever make it to London I'll have to check out those stores , would be like a kid in a candy store lol , long flight from Canada though

Great video☺️ greetings from Poland.
Thank you Marcin. All the best. Kevy 👍
I don't recall ever hearing of Truefitt and Hill before. After this, and seeing the "God Is My Help" posted; then I'm going to look for them online.
You do have a lot more choises in Uk than what we here in Norway have. Nice
I will take one of each.Those Taylor Of Bond St. brushes look pretty wicked.I want to know what all did you buy?😮😉
I only bought the Royal Forest Aftershave and some Eton College Aftershave cream. That was it! Kevy 😀👍
@@kevyshaves4109 wow what will power,i would be running around in circles frothing at the mouth trying to decide what not to get 😆
It''s nice that you were able to do this before the plague. There's no denying that the Brits have tradition, style and class.
Awesome footage. Your wife must be a professional camera operator.
😂🙂👍

Kevy you missed Carlo Anichini across the road from TOBS in the Piccadilly Arcade
Carlo's is the best in my humble opinion. Great video though. I was down that way today!
I've been in her shop before. I just didn't have enough time to visit and film this time. Great little shop. Cheers. Kevy 👍
What a great video, Kevy. Thanks a lot. 💈👍
Besides shaving stuff, that we are all in constant need of... 🤣 ... you also need a new video camera with a better stabilizer.
Thanks. I was looking to get a gimbal for this video but I never got round to getting one. Kevy 😁
Awesome! a bit childish from Trumpers though its not like they have top secrets in there, great tune btw
I could also get more shirts at Charles Tyrwhitt next time I’m in London!

I’d go broke in London 😀😀😀
can you do a gillette contour or a g2 shave
I've got some shaves with cartridge razors in the works. Kevy 👍
Oh Geo Trumper, you could have been featured along with the others, mistake.
Yes they refused Paul too.

What did you buy?
A few creams and some aftershaves. Kevy 👍
It's really a pity, now is lockdown for shaving also. Wonderful shops, in Switzerland we do not have such... 😂😂😂
Lots of cartridge razors. 😲

Is that the house remortgaged?
I showed a lot of restraint! 😀👍
Kevy, I believe "Geo" is short for "George." My father George used to abbreviate his name like that.
That's correct. Kevy
Funky music..👍
Kevy is Carter bond shop near there go have look shave shop one day
I'm not sure where that is. Kevy 👍
