Any "shave stuff" in China?

[MrGuy]

My brother will be spending a few weeks in China soon. Any advise for searching out shave related goods? My primary interest would be soaps, and maybe blades, I guess he could keep an eye open for brushes, a nice bowl could make me happy... Alright, I guess I'm not too picky about what kind of stuff would make me smile A razor would only be on the list if it was a very unique design tho.
Suggestions anyone?

I have some Gillette blades made in Shanghai (packet is purple and white)

No idea on how they perform yet... They are in the 'to try' pile.

Thanks for the pic, Luc! It might be worth finding just for the pack, I like that design.
Off topic, why do your pics always make me thirsty?

This is really unique:

Unique, just like the rest of 'em, huh?

I think in China, unfortunately for you, a razor and/or blades would be your most likely and successful purchase. You might find an weird brand of shave cream, but I doubt a shaving soap. There may be some straight razors--I know a lot of street barbers still use them to shave heads, for example, but I never saw any for sale when I was there.

Thanks for the input. Any tips on what kind of places to look in? What would be the kind of place likely to carry shave supplies?
