Most large malls will have one, if not all those shops. And don't discount the larger chemist stores. I have been surprised by what I have found in some of those, at least in Melbourne.

Also try the "ethnic" grocers. They often stock brands like Proraso, etc.

Yeah, tried the shaver shop, they're the ones that told me Proraso don't make an after shave! They do stock some good stuff though, but not a big range. 'Ethnic' grocers. Now that's an idea. I'm not sure we have as many 'ethnic' grocers in South Australia as you do in Melbourne, in fact ours might be more African and Asian (not that there's anythign wrong with that...)... :-)

I hope that as just a Yank, that I could inject a little input:

We just need to get our act together in this Great Southern Land cudarunner. But if we do, we might also be shooting ourselves in the foot by having these vendors believe they can bump up prices even more to cater for a growing boom, that in all probability, doesn't exist in such a way as it does (or so we think down here) in the US.

Too true, but with the dollar how it is and the European economy about to go into recession, I'm hoping soon I'll be able to get some of this for five bucks... :-)

Yeah, it does, doesn't it? It is of course Martin de Candre in a really cool dish with a metal lid. From what I gather it's a 'grail' soap. I do hope I don't have to answer questions about the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow to buy it, though that might be easier than what's presented on the site, for I can't determine exactly how one DOES purchase said product from said vendor...

You might have to email them Carl... or they will taunt you a second time.

Emailed Himage earlier and here is what they have to say:

Hi Mick

Thanks for your email, hope all is going well.

Pinaud Clubman has been on our list for a while now, think there are about 5 or 6 aftershave lotions in their range. The reviews on it are very strong so we will give it a go.

We are a bit under the pump at the moment with Xmas orders but will bring some early in the new year.

Have a great Christmas.

Cheers
Chris



So it looks good for the near future boys!


Mick

Sounds good Mick. Chris from Himage is a nice bloke.
