Shopping in Poland

There aren't many Polish people here, and it seems Americans dominate not only by member count, but also by accessibility to shaving products. I'd like to get a list of some shops that stock shaving products and/or barber shops, if they still exist in this part of the world.

So far I have found:

• WARS cream in Tesco and Carrefour,
• Pollena Lider (classic) cream in Tesco and Carrefour,
• Palmolive Sensitive with Aloe Vera in Tesco,
• Nivea for Men Mild shaving cream in Carrefour, Kaufland
• VIP shaving cream in Tesco,
• BOND SpaceQuest shaving cream in Carrefour,
• "own brand" shaving creams in Carrefour,
• Kanion shaving cream in Carrefour,
• Wilkinson Sword Classic DE and blades 5pk (German, the white box) in Kaufland,
• Bic Chrome Platinum blades 5pk in Kaufland

These stores also have the common aftershaves and colognes, along with some Polish brands (Korsarz, BOND, Kanion).

I also found a shop, Lu'lua, in Kraków, which stocks more popular products (MÜHLE, Edwin Jagger, T&H, Floris, Trumper, Proraso), but I haven't been there yet.

Online shops:

And of course "the Polish guy" on eBay.

I'm also wondering if anyone's found anything in antique or PEWEX stores?

You should be able to find Lider Men's Active shaving creams, Arko shaving creams, Gillette rubie blades, Sputnik blades, gillette splashes, etc.

Great post. The http://www.new-men.pl/ was new to me as I'm just exploring this stuff since I got to Poland.

Thanks!

Not sure exactly where to post this, so I thought I'd reply here since it's related to this thread.

Just returned from our 3rd visit, and my son's wedding, in Wielun.

We visited Krakow. I wish I'd known about sklep Lu'lua. I did find some Wars and Lider in a street-corner kiosk just off the market square in city center.

We also re-visited Manufactura in Łodz. Rossman's had a nice selection, in my opinion. I've inserted some shots below. Needless to say, I stocked-up. Unfortunately, the only wife-approved AS was the Fa Spicy Black.

Ooo, Hâttric Classic on the shelf!

How do the Kanion/Bond/VIP creams compare to Wars (which I love)?

I bought the Nivea, Bond, Wars, and Lider. IMHO, and mind you, not completing a formal review here, but having tried these; I'd rate them:
For lathering: Nivea, then Bond, Wars, Lider.
For slickiness: the same ratings.
For scent: Wars, then Bond, Lider, Nivea. Wars smells the best, to me anyway.
