Hey - I just thought I'd see if anyone had seen these around Changwon/Pusan area:

St. Ives - especially body wash
Edge or Gillette shave gel
Gilette Mach 3 razor blades
Herbal Essences shampoo/conditioner

I'm sure I'll think of a few more, but that'll work for now...thanks!

you can get gillette shaving gel and mach 3 razor's in the Changwon homeplus, although I'm sure the razors are ridiculously expensive.

I broke down and bought some herbal essence in the Seoul black market after using korean stuff for a couple months.

You can get all this stuff and more from the Navy base in Jinhae. Occasionally there is a black market outside the gates but just get chummy with one of the GI's and they have shop inside with all the mystical and magical treats you could ever imagine. Well, maybe not but I get head and Shoulders shampoo and Colgate Toothpaste from there plus a few other goodies. The Gillette stuff is at Homeplus or EMart and yes it is a little expensive
