Gerry the Brit Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Hi I am coming to Davao for my vacation. I don't want to pack to many things, I only intend to bring 7 or 8 days worth of clothing and get them laundered in Davao (would love recommendations and approx cost). Will be buying disposable razors and shaving foam when I get to Davao, just wondered if it is like the UK and I can buy these items from a Pharmacy. Thanks in advance for your help 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jollygoodfellow Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 You can buy from the pharmacy or the supermarket. Most hotels will arrange laundry for you but at a higher costs, take a look around and you will find somewhere to do it cheaper. :thumbsup: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthdome Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Laundry services cost around 40 pesos per kilo at a laundry shop. Yes you can get shaving kit stuff at either a pharmacy or a supermarket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alby Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Hi I am coming to Davao for my vacation.

Will be buying disposable razors and shaving foam when I get to Davao, just wondered if it is like the UK and I can buy these items from a Pharmacy. Thanks in advance for your help I stayed in Davao at Seda Abreeza hotel and I used to put my laundry in a bag (one week of daily shirts and undies) and take it outside to a laundry shop behind Victoria mall, which is a walking distance from the hotel. The cost with rush on it (second day) was 200 Pesos (about 5 dollars). As some one said here,they do it by weight. There is a university close to that mall and you will see lots of laundry shops around there. As for shaving stuff, etc. if you need anything, just hop over to any dept store in any mall. Robinsons is the one I used at Abreeza mall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 If you use a particular brand I would bring it with you. No telling what you're going to find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry the Brit Posted March 9, 2014 Author Posted March 9, 2014 Thank you for your replies, you have been very kind. The hotel that I am staying at I believe is connected to SM Lanang Premier Mall by sky bridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
