Shaving supplies NZ?

[Gnasher40]

Being new to the wet shaving lark, I have started gathering some soaps and brushes. I've read up on forums and watched YouTube clips and I'm getting some really great shaves.
I've put my name down for NZ pass around and am looking forward to receiving the box.
My question is where are you guys getting your supplies?

I've tried eBay and amazon and trademe. But it's always nice to go to a store. Any ideas?
I would like to add to my collection and be able to use soap a/s balm etc.
your thoughts please.

There are one or two in NZ that have reasonable ranges but are obviously more expensive than the overseas suppliers. I stick to a handful of online vendors:

If you want European brands it pays to stick with EU based suppliers.

Gifts and Care in Spain are my 'go to' at the moment
Shaving.ie in Ireland are pretty good
Connaught Shaving in the UK have great deals on blades and other goodies

In the US there is a huge number of artisan producers of shaving soaps, creams, balms, etc

Maggards stock most of the well known US (and some European) brands
West Coast Shaving is another one of my occasional suppliers

There is plenty more. I'm sure some of the other members can quote their particular favourites. Check out the vendor list on B&B Vendor Stores too.
