[rick]

Alrighty then !
Good friend of mine has relatives in Germany and I want to know:

Whats the best shavery made in and/or available only in Deutschland ?

Tell me your favorites.

:signs001

[johnniegold]

Speick
Tabac

are two that come to mind

[herzi]

What really is "only available in Germany" are the drugstore products like Balea, Cerrus or Rilanja. More prominent products can be bought in other countries too.
I think you have to look for Balea SC, Tüff sensitiv AS, Alando SC and Kappus Aloe Vera SC.

These are very good products and I think only available in Germany.

Thanks, you guys.
Maybe I should narrow the playing field a bit....

Lets shoot for BEST 3 Soaps and / or creams.


I know of Balea...the others are "foreign" to me :rofl
Is Tabula Rasa available there?
Best 3 please.

[crackstar]

Speick was sold in Canada for many years, and so was Tabac, (the aftershave and cologne are still available here sometimes) but these 2 brands were quite expensive. Kappus Aloe and Nautik sc are sold here in 1 store I know well.

[herzi]

Perhaps you should narrow the field on anither way: Made in Germany. Because you can buy such a lot in the internet.

Soaps
Tabac
Palmolive Stick
Speick Stick

Creams
Tabula Rasa (www.1001seife.de)
Olivias Crema (www.olivia-seife.de)
European Palmolive regular

These things can all not be bought only in Germany so they don't fulfill your first question properly. And these are my German favourites.

[herzi]

I've forgotten Klar Seife. But I don't know it. You can buy it also at www.1001seife.de .

Good luck with this thread.....i did one similar last week and im expecting a big shipment of european stuff.

[crackstar]

Stefan, es gibt eine andere tolle Seife aus Deutschland--Golddachs Spezial. Schoner Duft, Schaum, alles. Leider, es ist nicht erhaltlich hier in Canada. :( :(

[herzi]

Jeff Du hast Recht. Aber sie soll identisch mit einer amerikanischen sein. Ich weiß nur den Namen nicht mehr.

[crackstar]

Stefan, Olivia's Produkten sind fabelhaft. Ich habe 4 oder 5 Cremen und Seifen probiert, und ich war immer frohlich. Olivia ist eine wirkliche Genie--der Bay Rum, und Churchill sind eine Heilung fur meine empfindliche Haut.

[herzi]

Du hast Recht Jeff. Sie sind fabelhaft.

[IsaacRN]

Times like this i wish i spoke and read German.

[crackstar]

It's never too late to learn, Isaac. I was raised with German, so it's a 2nd language for me.

[IsaacRN]

My Grandmother is German and so is my Step Father. They all speak it. My mom is fluent but alas I am not. When I went to Germany for Sylvester....everyone loved the fact that they could practice their English :P

[crackstar]

I was born in what's part of Ukraine today in a town called Przemyszl. Before the war, it was part of Poland, but the population spoke 4 languages--Polish, Ukrainian, Russian and German. I grew up speaking all 4 of these languages. My family and I left Lwow when I was 3, and we moved to Israel, where I lived for many years. I consider myself Israeli before anything else, because I was educated there, served in the army, etc. But German still remains an important language for me.

[IsaacRN]

Is Montreal one of the French speaking provinces....or is that mainly Quebec

[crackstar]

Isaac, Montreal is a city in the province of Quebec. By the way, I sometimes wish my English was as good as my French.....

[Scorpio]

woops!!!!!!!!!!!!! Florena is from Germany also, a wonderful cream as well, cheap in price, and probably the most popular brand for the Montreal wetshaving community. I almost forgot to mention it.

How could you! :D

[crackstar]

you're right, Rich. This is what happens when you get a little age on you! :rofl

The old gray horse he ain't what he used to be, ain't what he used to be. Pretty soon we'll be giving you bran mashes every day. :D

[crackstar]

with a little sweet feed, I hope! ;)

[qhsdoitall]

with a little sweet feed, I hope! ;)

Of course. :D

[crackstar]

Rich, there's another cream made by Florena that I tried once called Arctic. It's mentholated and cooling, but I really didn't like it so much. The Florena with chamomile is a lot better.

Shavemac

[qhsdoitall]

Shavemac

Duh, you are so right. Now I need the bran mash and sweet feed. Oh, and a couple of carrots thrown in too.
