    Default Favourite brick and mortar obtainable soaps/creams?

    Hello guys,

    Just wondering what are your favourite soaps and creams you can buy walking into a store?

    Not that Williams was great but I do miss seeing it at the local Walmart. However they still have the tubs of Wilkinson Sword there for $4 which I really like!

    Then the local drug stores carry proraso! That's about it near me.

    What's available near you?

    None of my favourite soaps/creams are available at a local brick and mortar store. Winners might rarely have something.

    Well obviously we aren’t getting our favourite soaps and creams walking into a random Walmart or Rexall but what’s your choice if you had to use one of them.

    You can get William's at Walgreens.com and it ships free to your local Walgreens.

    I still like Van Der Hagen. Inexpensive but works great.

    Actually on second thought, a favourite cream of mine, Maca Root, is available at The Body Shop locally. The other three commonly available are Proraso, Wilkinsons tub and AOS creams. The last three will do but not if I can get the Maca Root cream. The local Shoppers Drug Mart also started carrying Hawkins and Brimble but haven't used it enough to see if it is going to be a favourite or also ran.

    Kiss My Face brushless cream can be fairly readily found. Nonetheless, I don't use it as there are much better options that you can order on-line.

    One of my local chemists (drug store) sells a good range of Tabac products. Shave soap pucks and sticks plus some of the Tabac after shave products.

    People bash Van der Hagen but I find it to be quite passable. It may not be artisan soap but its... passable. It just needs to soak a little longer.
    One thing I know for sure. I'd rather pay $5.00 for it than $30 for that ...stuff AOS sells. Biggest waste of money I've spent since Windows 8

    Reading all posts above leads me to one conclusion: we are a bunch of spoiled brats.
    Although I like Proraso Green a lot I must confess that I am thinking of buying a better soap or cream on line when I have finished the current tube.
