Nice hotel shave after a long night and day of travelling and exploring. I popped my head into one pharmacy in Brussels so far to see what kind of European delights might be common around here, but no luck so far.

I don't believe that you will be lucky in pharmacies - but I may be wrong about BelgiuΓΈ

What kind of store sells shaving stuff? Even razors were basically absent from the pharmacy and the grocery store.

[–] DaveWave94@wetshav.ing 3 points 2 days ago

Here in Germany, shaving stuff is usually reserved to drugstores and very well-stocked super markets. Given that the concept of a drugstore seems completely foreign to France though, I can't vouch for Belgium as both are pretty close... So take my advice with a grain of salt ✌🏻
