Good source for Indian shaving products.

[ShaveAddict]

I found a Indian site that offers good shaving products at a good price. They have shaving creams, razors, aftershaves..
Price are in indian rupees but when you make the conversion you see that it's a very good price.
They got quite a lot of stuff, here's the link:http://www.desistores.net/catalog/index.php?cPath=53_63_84_182

Hmmm. They have Old Spice original. I wonder if it's the Shulton kind? 150 RS is cheap.

Thanks for the link... There's alot of cheap stuff there and shipping appears to be pretty reasonable (well at least to Australia it is!).

Wow, they have the big size Godrej creams for $1.33USD! I know of a certain stateside vendor selling those for over $10 plus shipping. I wonder how much shipping from India would add onto the total...
Hey, also does anyone know if those Gillette PII carts are the TracII carts? And, if so, are they any good compared to the Personnas?

If you have any Indian stores locally they carry some of these products.

Looks good, might have to place an order.
Godrej cream are AU$1.45 and the shaving rounds are .84c

The thing is you need to order a couple of product cus it's almost the same shipping price if you order 1 item at 2$ or 4 items.

Well it claims as such on the bottle I have: Shulton, Licensed users of the Trademark, Mfd. by MCPL INDIA PVT. LTD.

Smells darn good, but I couldn't tell you how much it smells like the old Shulton formula the used to sell here in the States. Now I have heard its very similar to the original Old Spice before P&G went and reformulated it. Close but a little more complex is how I've usually heard it described, which sounds about right because compared to the generic Old Spice clone manufactured by Vi-Jon, it smells very similar to my nose although its a tad richer and stronger, not to mention a touch more complex. Regardless of weather or not it's the same stuff, it's well worth picking up a bottle of the Indian stuff in my honest opinion.

I've ordered things from them (mainly Nivea shaving cream) a couple of times now, and have been very satisfied with their service - although the shipping to Australia does take a couple of weeks.

Did you get charged and import/customs fees when the parcel arrived?

Yes, PII=TRACII. They are at least as good as Personna. I use the WilmanII from this supplier. Just as good as the PII and cheaper

 

[Wil Dorenbos]

Same here. I have ordered at least 5 times till now...

The Old Spice is in fact the real deal. I bought 2 tubes of the cream on Saturday at a local indian super market, branded by Shulton. Has the original scent and really works well.

I actually hated old spice until I tried it. Now I want to go back and get the real Shulton aftershave.
