This year, instead of gifting your guy with an article of clothing he'll maybe wear, give him something he's guaranteed to use and really need. Recently opened mens' accessories store Haberdash EDC just started offering straight razor shaves every Saturday afternoon. Men are welcome to come in and indulge in a professional straight razor shave by an experienced barber—while sitting in a vintage barber's chai, of course. We think you should beat your man to the punch and purchase a straight razor shave in advance, and then gift it to him for V-Day. At $15, it's smart money you know will get good use. And who's to say you won't benefit from a little fresh-faced closeness, too!
Haberdash EDC, 611 North State Street (at Ontario Street); 312-646-7870.
