I am going to be driving into the galleria tommorow for the EO shampoos since there are alot of nice shops down there and I have not yet used a english cream(only QED soap so far) maybe I could pick some up. If any one knows where to look please let me know.

I haven't lived in Houston for about 15 years, but I would think that Saks, Neiman Markups, Macy's, Nordstrom Spa, Crabtree and Evelyn or some of those uppity shops might have some stuff.

I am going back to Houston for my high school reunion in November and was planning to go to the Galleria to pick up some supplies too.

I remember someone mentioned of a shop in Rice village that carries english creams. Sorry but the name escapes me.

Sean, The name of the shop on Rice Bvld. is The British Isles Store. They stock Trumper's creams, and I hear, have recently added a little Taylors. They may have some other interesting odds and ends as well. Nice folks, I've ordered by phone from them a few times.

Sean, if you like lavender consider Trumpers Violet. Otherwise, if they stock Taylors pick up some Lavender.

I visited British Isles today and what a splendid store it was, thank you so much for the recomendation. While there selection of taylors was not that great :( there trumper's was not bad and they had a decent selection of truefitt. I wound up getting the Indian limes in a tube, it has such a great scent. I wanted to get the turpers violet but was not wanting to buy out the whole store plus I have never had a limes cream. They had plenty of soaps, colognes, and shampoos along with some skin food. They also had beautiful mugs and plenty of edwin yager(forgive the spelling) sets and other shave sets. I guess the price was right my tube of truefitt limes was $17 and some change and this lady gave me 4 diff. samples of truefitt cologne and trumper rose and lime shave cream along with truefitt 1805 cream.
