A colleague and good friend of mine is returning to India to visit his family next week. I already have him getting some Godrej and Old Spice shave soaps but are there any other soaps or creams I should ask him to look for? What about blades, balms and other stuff?

1) 7 O'Clock Super Platinums Black (5+2free) tucks. 70 blades for a little under 8$. Get the whole card
2) 7 O'Clock Permasharp Green blades. (around5-6$ for 50 blades). Get the whole card
3) Godrej shaving creams have 30% free offer on the latest stock. (A dollar per tube, get all 3 scents)
4) Get Park Avenue shave creams (classic, premium plus, Musk). You will thank me for the lather if not the scent too much !
5) Indian Nivea shave creams are very very good, see if he can also lay hands on J.L. Morison cream too
6) Indian palmolives are not so great (except the lime)
7) If you fancy supermax blades, get either super stainless (not just stainless) and the super platinum. All other blades are junk
8) Gillette Sterling razor (plastic body with tech metal head)
9) Only place on earth to get Gillette Wilkinson blades. They are 4$ for a 100 and pretty decent...
10) Brushes - nothing decent in the bristle and badger area (none at all). Don't waste time
11) Old spice AS (Shulton) IS AVAILABLE in glass bottles, ask him to look hard.
One he missed out was Yardley Gold, typically English but made in India! There are still plenty of other goodies to be found in India.

My friend I would also like to now add "FA" shaving cream. This is a lanolin based cream in 3 fragrances. Thank you for quoting my list - btw
