    Default Any source for Monsavon in Canada/USA?

    Does anyone know where I can get some Monsavon shave soap without paying a fortune for it?
    It seems that no one in Canada or the US has it.

    I'm in love with the stuff, I need to find a source for more!

    Thanks. $12 is a little steep isn't it?
    Anyone from France out there?
    Can you tell me how this price measures up.

    Ahhh Sara Lee. Feeds my belly and shaves my face.
    If only I worked there, my life would be complete

    In France you could buy it for 1.50 € / puck almost everywhere.

    I'd pay $12 if I was in love with it, but I always look at it like this...Paupers can't be choosey.

    Maybe Tordu can get you some....maybe a Group buy!

    you know, It's funny because there are lots of great soaps and creams available locally. I can get proraso so why should I bother with anything else.
    The simple answer is, that's not the way this game is played.
    For whatever reason, I want Monsavon. It works very well for me.
    But so do other soaps and creams.
    But I don't want other soaps and creams.

    And so on and so forth.
    Why can't I just be content with what I can get.

    I'm chasing unicorns.

    Americans are paying premium prices to fly in drugstore stuff from Europe, while Europeans are shelling out top dollar for VDH and Aqua Velva. Life is weird.

    There are regular requests to ship Williams and our drug store aftershaves over to European members.

    Not even close. VDH Deluxe is a great soap, shaves just as good and even better than many supposed "higher end" soaps.

    VDH is good- but I haven't touched it since I got some DH Harris. Harris has a better lather for half the work (and a much better smell)
