A friend of mine is in Europe and said he would be happy to pick up some stuff that we can't get easily here in the states. I was wondering if I can get some suggestions for what to pick up as far as soaps/creams go. If you could give a store or chain name that would really help to make things easier if you remember. He is going to be in Amsterdam, London, Austria (Vienna), Germany, France (Paris and Nice), and Italy (Rome, Florence, and I think Venice). I know he's not going to Spain so I guess that means La Toja is out. I was particularly interested where he can find something like the kilo block of Cella in Italy. Would a regular drug store/pharmacy carry it? Just throw out suggestions plz.

If he is going to Florence, he MUST go to the Farmacia Santa Maria Novella and try the Lozione Dopobarba and Acqua di Colonia. The best scents in the whole world...
The also have a shaving cream, Schiuma da Barba but I've never tried it.
Have him try this search string for Florence. Lots of places to find! I don't know enough about Roma and Venezia but try searching for Articoli da Barba.

Have a look at the shopping by country page for addresses: http://wiki.badgerandblade.com/Category:Shopping_by_Country
When in Amsterdam he should go to a 'kruidvat' or 'etos". These are drugstores and are located all over the city. You can find tabac, palmolive, sometimes speick and the dutch brand 'de vergulde hand' there.
There are also a lot of small international supermarkets and stores in Amsterdam, especially at a market/street called the Albert Cuyp. When lucky you may find some Arko creams for example, for only 1 Euro.

Supermarkets tend to be pretty good too in Europe

Your friend should pick up everything he can get! The most things aren't so expensive that you couldn't throw them away if you don't like them.
don't be silly you PIF what you don't want.
Or that way!
