    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.

    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.

    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.

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

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

    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.

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

    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

    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.

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