Shaving supplies from India & what to get ?

[PIPS]

So I have a few friends heading out to India in a few days and wanted to know what products I should have them bring back ?
Any help ?

Geez Luc - I got stuck in an endless loop of thread links about Indian supplies!

PIPS - 7 o'clocks (green) blades are a must!

 

[Leche]

Shulton OS cream and AS!

go online...google desistores.net ,check out what they have,don't forget yardley's talcs,it's sometimes hard to navigate..if you punch in "talc" you get one page,punch in "yardley's" and a different page with more items pops up...you can make a list from this site of all the shave creams,soaps,blades etc.,and these are what you will find in india...look out for "KOOL" shave cream from bangladesh ,good stuff....for sure CHECK THE EXPIRATION AND/OR MANUFACTURING DATES on everything you buy....shave soap lasts 3 years,india has no tallow shave soap...shave creams last at least 2 years,with lanolin one year...talc lasts forever...ayurvedic and herbal toothpastes are great also..
