Spanish shave products

[sanz]

Hello folks,

My name is Sandy, I just joined a few days ago. I live in Spain for the moment and would like some recommendations for good Spanish shave products to pick up while I'm here. I'm holding off on a DE until I get back to the States but would like to pick up any unique stuff here that might be hard to find when I get home.

So far, on the recommendation of BroJohn and nathanb I have bought some La Toja soap and cream. I'm looking around for a locally made boar brush too (there are lots of boar around here). Anything else? I live in a very small town so any imports from other European countries would still be hard to find... but worth a shot.

Thanks!

Welcome to Spain Sandy.
I see you have la toja cream and la toja shaving stick.
Try to buy, lea cream and lea shaving stick. Lea mark has a cheap mark named bea, it is almost the same, perhaps the parfum of bea will be less natural than lea's perfum.

I recomend you the aftershave floid vigoroso (strong) or suave (soft), I like vigoroso, the feel in the skin is great, as to be in the North Pole.

But what you can´t forget to buy is myrsol bálsamo (0'25 litres), try to find it in old spanish barberies, and don`t pay more than 13 euros, the normal price is betwen 9'50 and 12 €.

Enjoy.
