Superb haul! IMO, it's far more satisfying buying wet shaving products 'out in the open' than online. Where abouts are those shops? In a Turkish mini supermarket up the road from where I live (the shop's in Tooting Broadway) they sell Akcay Tobacco splash which is one of my favourite post shave products.
The turkish one was the tfc Catford (opposite Bellingham bus garage)! There was tobacco and lemon (a lot of options in the lemon one) colognes! The Lebanese was at green valley (edgware road) and was the last tube of Ingram! There's few more Arabic drugstores at edgware road and with luck can get more Ingram (maybe even the Egyptian ones)!

Thanks for the info. I had a look for it on the Aliexpress page, but it seems to no longer be in stock. I hope they stock it and their slant again.
Great info! I completely forgot about the Arabic shops around Edgware Road! I've been meaning to head that way for a while, will make a trip sooner rather than later. There are actually quite a few decent Egyptian shaving creams around (quite a few on Ebay) so hopefully they'll have some in stock even if it is the Egyptian Ingram which is supposed to be superb.
And don't forget to go to mayfair and visit Taylor of old bond street, Harris....
Yeh...the heads sold out fast. I wanted a satin finish one but it was sold out before I managed to complete check out. I wonder what happened to their slant too? Ive not seen it for sale since it first appeared. Whether they are making adjustments to it or just decided not to make it again is unknown.

Edwin Jagger Limes & Pomegranate shaving cream sample: Yet to use, not sure about the scent. I think it will feel like rubbing an orange across my face. Will give it a try though. This is why samples are a great idea

Thanks Paul. I'll be using an OUMO Manchurian. I'm sending to a friend to set the knot.

I'll leave it up to my mate. I'll post a photo on here on it's return.
