Good idea the foam, San Mig. What about the old-fashioned sticks of shaving soap and the badger brush, one can whip up a nice lathe with that and it is easier to take a years supply with you? Am I right or am i right?

Shampoo? got to be careful, liquids are heavy. You can get a baggage allowance of say 35k going to China and then change to an internal flight which just gives you only 20 allowance- out goes the Vosene.

I think that is a good idea, the shaving brush at least, but everyones skin is different. The problem is most chinese men don't have the same shaving requirements as western men, so small tins of gillette are the best you can find in China.

True, liquids are heavy, but believe me you won't find vosene in China, and the shampoo is generally of inferior quality. H and S is also expensive in China for what it is, made in China.
