    Default Where do you buy your soaps from?

    Do you purchase online, or are you able to find soaps in-store?
    There are so many different products out there that I would love to try, but almost nothing is available locally. Is the internet the best way to order, or am I missing something?

    Mamabears,
    I also made some melt/pour soap with base bought online.
    In stores like Walmart, you can get VDH , @ CVS pharmacy C Williams plain.

    I like the Kells soap I have, though the only soap I have to compare it to is VDH. I mentioned in a different post that I get all of my wet shaving supplies (minus straight razors) from bestgroomingtools.com. Best selection for my taste, good prices, incredibly quick shipping, and if you have any questions the owner is more than willing to help you out.

    5 out of 5 in my book.

    The internet is the best source especially if you want variety. Mama Bear's, SRD, as well as the other vendors mentioned on this site are a good place to start.

    You may also want to look at Amazon.com. I have purchased several shave creams off of Amazon with free shipping on orders over $25.

    Gentlemen,

    Mama Bear, of course, and Straight Razor Designs have excellent soaps. Also, I recommend Connaught in the UK. Paul's selections are good and his prices great, especially for Mitchell's.

    From vendors that are well respected and even active on this site and on Badger and Blade. I buy both the traditional commercial soaps (TABAC, MWF, Cella) and the "boutique" soaps (Prairie Creations).

    I buy my GFT soaps direct from the shop as I live in London. I also am planning on making a trip to TOBS as well, just to see what they have!

    As Obie says, check out Connaught as well. I hadnt heard of them before and I've been having a browse and plan on getting a few things from them soon..!
