Shaving supplies in Berlin?

I'm off to Berlin next weekend and wondered what I should keep an eye out for and what type of stores are likely to stock them. Probably won't have a lot of time to look, as there seems to be a lot of sights to see but it would be nice to maybe pick things up that are not readily available over here or cheaper over there.

Also, anyone been, any recommendations on what to see/do?
 
Don't ignore the Nivea, its good stuff.

Thanks Henk. I got some Speick products a few weeks back from Antdad, might try and get some of the AS though to complete the set. I also had a sample of the Moos AS from Connaught shaving and quite liked it so will look for that as well. I'd not heard of the Gold Dachs soap before but it seems to get good reviews.

Are they available in drugstores? Supermarkets?
 
Keep your eyes out for:

DM - A Superdrug type place which will stock the IM range (amongst others)
Rossman - same type of shop, but in my experience stocks the cheapest priced Speick Cream and AS (E2 something for cream and just under E10 for AS). They also have their own brand blades and AS quite cheap which is worth a look. "Cerrus".
Bigger Department stores sell the Tabac range - including the soap in a bowl, but the drug stores like the above and "Schlecker" will sell the range minus the bowl soap - but instead have the shave stick (and the IM range).

In terms of what to do, i am not normally a fan of guided city tours, but any of the Berlin ones are worth it. Pop by the Checkpoint Charlie museum (actually at the site of CP C) and you can while away an hour or so.

It is a really interesting city, have fun.
