How about some US retail store sightings? I've VDH soap in Rite Aid and Wal-Mart but it's the "premium" soap not the glycerin.
Van Der Hagen GLYCERIN soap

I have never seen the glycerin version. I have seen the Premium and the deluxe but not the gylcerin.
They have the glycerin bar at Fred Meyer's in Oregon and some Walgreens. It's the greatest cheap soap out there!

No Meyer's here and our Walgreens doesn't carry it.
I have seen the VDH Deluxe at Walmart, and Walgreens, and the VDH Select at Rite Aid.
I saw all three varieties at Rite Aid early in my wet shaving career almost two years ago, but for the last year they have only had the Select.
You best bet for the Glycerin is to post a Want to Buy in the WTB forum. Somebody will hook you up.

Have any Canadian Badgers seen VDH deluxe in a brick and mortar store in Canada?
i know it sounds bad but try amazon you can get a 12 and it not to bad
i had to get it there its getting hard to find around here
I've never seen it in a store but I have ordered it on Amazon....12 pucks for $15.99...not to bad.
Wal-Marts down here in North Texas have VDH Glycerin, Premium and Deluxe
Wal-Mart at Klamath Falls, Oregon has some, I picked up two the last time I went to the city.
Where abouts are ya, there is some in buffalo. If not I might be able to pick some up for ya and ship it (cover ship and cost.) if u want I can see if I can find the shave set, its a pretty decent value for the price once the boar hair brush breaks inuch better on face than synthetics.
Another Oregonian saying they sell it at Bi-mart.
Guess I should go into business

Its very hard to find. I haven't seen it at all in all the stores in my area. You can get it in bulk from amazon.com. Try this link.
Funny how "The Walrus" doesn't sell it here. I checked all the usual stores with no luck. I want to give it a go, like Williams, just to see what all the fuss is about. Thanks for sources/links!

Hey Laney, the cheap glycerine round that Bi-mart sells lathers up and shaves just as well as this soap does. I used it alot early on and I liked it alot. Cool thing was since it was basically a generic store brand it was dirt cheap. You can find it over with the bath soaps, and the unscented smells alot like Col. Conk Amber shaving soap. It's good soap.

I was think about that. Most of the dollar and discount stores (Big! Lots, etc) sell bars of glycerin soap.
Hmmm...get one or two, place them in my new rice/shave bowl, and microwave enough to melt it and let it form into the bowl.
I was really surprised at how well it worked. I had been buying the Vanderhagen previously but my Bi-mart was out of it so I tried the cheaper generic.

Hey Wetshavermike (and anyone else in SW On). If you are in Kitchener, the drug store in the Pioneer Park plaza (corner of Homer Watson and Pioneer Dr - less than 5 mins off 401) - has both VDH Deluxe and Glycerin.
If you do make it to Kitchener - Walper tobacco (downtown on King) has Merkurs, Parkers, Col Conk soaps and brushes, and some other stuff.
