I am wanting to try adding glycerin to my lather but I am at a loss on where you all are getting it. I read a post saying some people are getting it at wal-mart. I have looked in both my local wal-mart and CVS can anyone tell me where or with what else it is located. I am having absolutely no luck finding it. Thanks in advance
All you glycerin users

i pick up vdh glycerin at fredmeyers.... it's really hit and miss sometimes i see it at one store and then a week later they're only carrying the deluxe. right now i get vdh deluxe at riteaid/walgreen and vdh glycerin fred meyers $1.69 puck. btw i microwave my deluxe/glyc for a nice mix... Wait a sec are you talking about actual glycerin or glycerin puck???
I have seen a couple pucks of VDH at walmart every time I go there, you might want to check it out.

Sorry that post was a bit confusing, I am looking for plain liquid glycerin to add not the VDH glycerin soap Sorry for the confusing post 
Yeah, I am having the same issue honestly. I saw it at a health food store and it was very expensive for a small amount... would have driven my cost per shave WAY up
check out your local co-op health food store. lots of granola people make their own soaps
I find it in the Pharmacy section of Wal Mart near the witch hazel. 6 oz for $3.
This is what I neeeeeed

I have already shaved for the night. So is it sad that I am actually contemplating making a wal-mart run @ 10:30 to see if I mine carries it!?!?!?!?
Thanks for the info! That is what I am looking for.

ditto on where to get it at Walmart. At my Target, it is behind the Pharmacy counter, just ask the Pharmacy staff.
I'll walk up with a crooked grin and shadily ask for their 'stash' of behind the counter glycerine, and when they give it to me I will dart my head left and right and cloak the bottle in my jacket!
I got mine at CVS in the make up/skin care section. Just ask for pure glycerin USP (suspention liquid)
I was actually having the same issues with finding a bottle of glycerin. After looking at Wal Mart, Walgreens, CVS, etc. a girl at Walgreens suggested going to a hobby shop. You know like Hobby Lobby and those places that sell all kinds of random crap for people to craft and decorate their houses with. A lot of these shops sell soap making kits and just so happen to have bottles of glycerin right next to the soap making kits...go figure! That's where I found mine. Good Luck!
+1 on the Walmart glycerine. $2.98 for a nice size bottle. Works wonders with Williams.
Most pharmacies should carry it..I got mine at RiteAid. 6 oz. for $5 or something like that. Worse case, you can pick up online. Just make sure it's USP grade and pure (>99.5%
. Impure Glycerin still has nitric and sulfuric acid in it (among other stuff)...your skin will not like it

I agree, I wouldn't want to put goo on my face either. But technically, Glycerin is also considered a carbohydrate

My local Walgreens and CVS stores have dropped it, but I found it at a Woodman's discount grocery for under $3 for six ounces. Yep, near the witch hazel and other skin-care products.
(But after stirring it into melted shaving soap and letting it harden, the soap became frothy rather than creamy during shaving. I ruined a good puck, but I'm not sure if it was the glycerin or the melting/cooling process that was to blame.)
Better luck to you.
