Hi Patrick,

I have tried a number of pharmacies and so far no hits
Also did some searching on the bay and found a seller or 2
Got one link I posted in the Auction Talk thread
Asking if what I found was the right Glycerin for shaving use
Link to follow below

Hope it is of some use in the community

Cheers for now

Hi Castel33,

I must agree with what you say about Caswell and Massey soaps
To help improve the lather I am currently adding some Lloyds unscented shave cream
and mix away until I get what I feel is a good lather
Then have a shave with it and add water or mix more as I need to
Still not giving a great result
New shave cream being ordered soon, should be interesting

Re Down Under thread - definitely will post there
Local knowledge is always handy
Thanks for the tips and advice

Cheers for now

Rick

As to looking for local soaps and creams you may want to check out the down under forum at the very bottom of the forum page (or this link Down under ) and look around there or ask other guys from around you where they get local items. May help you find something quicker.

As far as Stateside is concered[USA] My Wal-Mart sells Glycerin in the band aid section. Wal-Marts in Ausie/land??

Hope this help's

I myslef just started using D.R. Harris soap, excellent lather and holds up well to pre/shave's also.
Not much in the scent dept. but then between pre/shave's post shave balms after shave splash's why would a bloke need any more smeller's!!!
The WIKI list's a lin kfrom the Badger & Blade blog that's outstanding for use with mosto all shaving soap's

Have a good one, carry on!!

Hi Tinkers

No Wallys World here in Australia .... yet
I have managed to source some Aussie shave stuff suppliers
It's a bit harder to find the good ones here
Thanks to the members before me who thought of putting together a list
Of the known good suppliers

Should be ordering some soap soon
Prob now is do I go for an Italian Barber made soap
Or an Aussie made creation.
It's going to be interesting trying them I know

Have a good week

Rick

No Wal-Mart!!![Wally-World?] mate??!! Fair/Dinkum??[just Kidding with that guy!!
I'm sorry, I know some place out in Aussie land are R-E-M-O-T-E and then some, and shipping can kill any good affordable purchase, You neen to cozy up to a local bloke who is Heavaly into wet/shaving and see if he has a good deal of things he' not useing that can be purchased from him at decent price's. At least that might save you
something with shipping, just a thought, any well stocked Aussie's out there listening in??

Have a good one and a BBS to Boot!!
