Where on earth do you get them from?

I bought the customary large supply of deodorant with me, but what about shower gel? Hair gel? All I can find is shaving foam and (really expensive) cologne. And the only shower gel available would make me smell like a delicate flower. Which I'm not.

Do they just not exist over here?

(Coming next week: what's Korean for "non-biological washing powder"?)

you can get hair gel at the make up shops which are everywhere. As for shower gel- didn't know guys used that much, but you can try the body shop.

I usually just go into the female section of the local department store and rummage around...got myself a nice pair of flowered nail clippers!

You can try a store called missha for the hair and body stuff, i think they have a guys selection. They are Korean, but they recently started going international. To find one close to you check out www.missha.net. Most things in there are 3,300. I've seen ads in Suwon station, but have not found it, but then i only been on the first 3 floors of the station.

As for cologne it depends on what you like, my husband uses Drakkar Noir and we use a Korean website. www.worldperfume.co.kr. They usually send us the sampler bottles, but it sometimes is half the price it is back home. You will need to ask a korean to use their Credit card as they do not accept forieng cards.

as for shaving gel that's easy most grocery stores sell Nivea gel and its ok. Costco sells Gillette, i have to use my husbands bottle as they don't make shaving gel for woman.

Wal-mart has Dial shower gel. The Body Shop at Kangnam Station has it for men.

Anyone who says 'Ta' should have no problem using products that make him smell like a delicate flower.
