I use a safety razor to shave. Namely, this one:

I have a good supply of blades, but I would like to know where to get them. For reference, they look like this:

I have no idea where to get them. I've looked in many places, but I've only been here for 3 months, so I'm sure I've overlooked some things.

Also, has anyone seen shaving soap and brushes? Am I the only one in Korea who appreciates a nice shave?

Asians in general don't grow much facial hair, so don't expect to find any good shaving supplies.

Hopefully somebody will tell you something more helpful.

A whole isle of shaving supplies at E-Mart. Just get disposables, they're cheap and easy. There are plenty of Koreans that can grow at least enough facial hair to need to shave...the ones with the Mongol or Khan blood running through them.

I've seen some Dorco razor double edged blades in a store once. But I'm not sure of the quality. It might be better to just have someone send them to you in an envelope.

About the brushes, I haven't seen any, but about the soap, I have some soap I bought on eBay I'd like to unload because I couldn't buy any less. It's some homemade soap that smells pretty good and lathers well.

Yeah, I resorted to mail-order. I'd had a brush for years, got some soap from the UK and a razor/blades from Italy.
