multi-vitamins
Mach 3 razer blades
hand sanitizer (kind with alcohol in it)
crest toothpaste
Listerine mouth wash with whitening

Listerine is available from Homeplus(Samsung/Tesco supermarket chain), but it's not the whitening type, they only sell the menthol, and the citrus flavours. Crest will only be available from the international markets in Seoul, and you will pay through the nose for them. However there are some more than adequate and flavoursome Korean brands. And if you are willing to spent a little more Homeplus sells 'Arm&Hammer' products.

Pharmacies have the hand sanitizer.

Emart as well as the foreign food store in Itaewon also have Listerine (but not whitening).

Between Hanam Supermarket (in the Volvo building in Seoul), Costco (mulitple locations) and Itaewon - you should be able to find all those things. Certainly there is a variety of razors to choose from . . .

One thing about living overseas is that you need to learn to live off of what is available locally.

Load up on and bring all your favorite stuff - then give yourself six months to find it locally or a local equivilant.

Western brand vitamins are a little spendy. Like someone else said, you can find the other things most likely. You may have to search a few different places before you find it though.
