I've been doing some research on the best soap/cream/foam gel etc that i can use for shaving and from the reviews i've read the Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap seems to be the best one. the price is good, it creates good lather and it lasts a long time however the only problem is i can't buy it in any local shops. not one supermarket, pharmacy, grocery store or salon sell it. it seems the only ones they sell are the nasty gillette ones. this seems to be the case for all decent shaving soaps and creams which makes me think the manufacturers dont offer it for sale in shops. is this right or am i not looking far enough?
