Well it seems as if the local drugstore is not carrying the old Williams shaving soap anymore. Any recommendations for a good soap and where I can order it on the internet would be greatly appreciated.

T&H,Taylors, or Trumpers from www.classicshaving.com are all top notch, but
I love Mamma Bear soap, its a little mom&pop soap making outfit out of Wisconsin(I think). Google it.

I forgot to add, The T,T,T or MB soaps are a lot larger than the Williams Pucks, so don't get sticker shocked to bad Smile

If you insist on Williams,Wal-Mart carrys the brand.

Colonel Conk and Vanderhagen Deluxe are good soaps and not very expensive.

Soaps from www.theshaveden.com are very good and reasonably priced.
Sample pucks are available and there are many scents (both Essential Oil and Fragrance Oil based) to choose from.

I like Art of Shavings unscented and lemon soaps. Both can usually be found on Ebay at a good price

There are some really nice looking soaps and creams available for shaving - especially at the London shops.

I get perfect shaves using Palmolive cream (in the tube), and also the shave stick. For aftershave I find Nivea aftershave balm is the best I have tried.

They are cheap, available, and work perfectly - I won't be bothering Trumpers or anyone like that.
