Anything special in Germany?

[PaulL]

My wife is going to Germany this week (we live in California).
She'll probably ask if I want anything.

Is there any shaving soap or cream in Germany that I should ask her to get?
I haven't tried Tabac yet, is it available there?

Irisch Moos.
Irisch Moos.

That's all that comes to mind.

Tell her to bring and extra suitcase and fill it with Irisch Moos shave sticks.

Seriously, I'd ask her to get an Irisch Moos stick and after shave, and maybe some Hattric and/or Pitralon aftershaves.

With out a doubt, have her snag:
-Speick - Soap, Cream & Aftershave
-Pitralon Classic Aftershave

and if she can find it:
Gold Dachs Shave Soap

 

[DFrancis]

tabac should be available there, it's made in Germany.

Most of the others I can pick up at Merz. Does Irisch Moos make a puck? How readily available is it in Germany. I'm flying into Frankfurt in late April and will be in the Rhine Valley for a week but am on a rather structured schedule.

I would also recommend Dovo shaving soap!

Irish Moos are only sold as a stick.
It is sold in every grocery store, as is Tabac, Speick, Palmolive, Pitralon Classic (AS), Hattric Classic (AS), ...

I would also recommend Dovo shaving soap!

Dovo is made by Gold Dachs if I'm not mistaken.

Check also stores out that have "Drogerie" in their name, they normally carry these products as well.

Tabula Rasa.

If I was heading to Germany, I'd track that stuff down as it's apparently pretty rare (perhaps it's easier to order online tho)

 

[PaulL]

I wonder how many soaps she can fit into that big suitcase?

Convince her the only clothes she needs on the trip home are the ones she is wearing and its a lot.

Spoken like a true B&Ber!

[SRock]

Palmolive Cream classic or sensitive
Alando Shave cream
Speick soap stick, cream, aftershaves. MUST GET AT LEAST ONE!
HJM Soapm(Same as Muhle's)
Florena, Nivea, Rilanja creams.
Great country for shopping shaving stuff!

Sir Irish Moos is not available as a puck.
Concerning the purchase of a SIM stick in Frankfurt, YOU CAN FORGET IT! HAHAHAHA!
I'm just kiddin. You can still buy them but not in the drugstore chain called "DM" because I already bought them http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showpost.php?p=1890134&postcount=75. A source would be "Karstadt" in downtown Frankfurt ( near the S-Bahn station "Konstablerwache") but they sell one stick for 6,95€ (about 9,56$), I think. Last time I checked "Rossmann", which is another drugstore chain in Germany, they did not have the SIM Shaving Soap but maybe they stocked up now. Good luck!

Pick up some Wars (Polish), I hear it has been discontinued. Great stuff.

Also, you'll be needing to get yourself one of these (Pils):

Those are great looking razors, very industrial.

But also very $200.
