I'm just curious if any of the more common shaving soaps and blades are made in America or if most of what's good comes from beyond the ocean.

http://www.westcoastshaving.com is located about 2-3 hours from me..they have great selling brands easily available

I'm aware of that site. what I was looking to find out is if any companies manufacturer blades and soap in the U.S.A. anymore.

Williams and VDH shave soaps are made in the USA. And I think ASR is still making blades. That's all I got.

Not many.

Personna Medical and Lab blades are made in the USA. Or is that ASR?

That's ASR

Is Kiss My Face made in the US ?

Good question, Gene, so I just looked at my tube and yes it is. In fact, the tube is so nice that it told me it was made in the United States in both French and English.

I wonder if The Real Shave Co. is made in America? I quite like their shaving creams. I'll have to check my tube when I get home tonight unless someone beats me to it.

to me it doesn't really matter much where the stuff is made, I'm just curious as to where the market seems to be with the stuff we like.

I'm fairly certain it's made by Creightons in the UK. Which is a good thing as Creightons makes the cream base for most of the luxury British shave creams.

Andrew, according to the tubes and jar of The Real Shaving Co. creams that I have, they are made in the U.K., England specifically.

It's amazing how much stuff is still made in the UK for shaving - manufacturing isn't our strong point any more (I'm UK-based BTW) - so I'm glad to see that we're at least helping people shave properly!

Also, I heard that these are really good USA-built razors if you're interested: hartsteel.com

I like their mugs!

And ASR is now Engergizer Holdings (Wilkinson / Schick).

Schick still has a plant in Connecticut.

They may stay around due to the medical and industrial razor manufacturing.
