I was out shopping with my wife this morning and whilst she pushed the trolley around the supermarket, I dashed across the road and into the local Müller Apotheke. Great stuff!
Just gotta love the Germans

Strangely, there were none on the shelves. That is not a problem as I probably have 6 or 8 here already
I need some of that.

Nice stash David! I will need to have a second look at the Tabac soap eventually as I did not like my first experience with it (scent issue).
you get Palmolive at DM.
Yes, but it is not German
DM also has Balea Sensitive cream, which is not bad at all for the price. However, for performance, you could better buy Nivea cream, or maybe Florena.
On my next trip I like to get one of those milk glass tabac bowls. That should work well. Don't like the scent but the bowl.
Actually the sticks are made in Germany but the cream comes from Belgium.
Are you sure? Colgate-Palmolive is based in Herstal, which is in Belgium.
Edit: I stand corrected indeed ... "Made in Germany" printed on the package. I thought all shaving soaps and cremes were made in the Herstal plant.

Damn, I thought this was a beer thread! 
Nice haul David!
I have tube of that. Its Quite good and for the price, you should not complain.
My college-age son--who despite growing up in Florida has learned to speak German--has obtained a scholarship to spend the upcoming academic year at a German university. I already have plenty of Tabac, Dr. Dittmar, Klar Kabinett (apparently now discontinued), and Speick, Palmolive, and Wilkinson-Sword sticks. I'll nonetheless find an excuse to purchase them "on site." And then, I may need to make a Haslinger purchase in Vienna, various purchases in northern Italy, other purchases in . . .
