B&M Stores for Soaps and Creams

Sorry if this has been asked before, but what are the best bricks and mortar stores for quality, yet inexpensive, shaving soaps and creams? Thanks

not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for..

c.o. bigelow is made by proraso and available and bath and body works..

you can get macca root shave cream at the bodyshop.. from what i understand it's made by the same company as trufitt & hill..

any cvs, rite aid, or walgreens will carry real shaving co. cream and most likely williams soap, and/or van der hagen soap.

also.. most natural food stores such as whole foods or trader joes will carry kiss my face shaving cream.

Thanks for the quick reply.

What about some of the other soaps that members advocate on this site such as MWF, Mama Bear, etc. Are there B&M retailers that carry these products or are these only available via the internet?

Related question #1: For the products that can only be purchased online, is there a link on SRP somewhere (or elsewhere) that provides a list of recommended providers?

Related question #2: If someone wanted to sample a collection of the top shaving soaps (or creams, or AS balm, etc.) - a little bit of a number of products - is there one source that offers an economical sampling package?

Thanks again!
