Personal Care
Mexican brands of shaving creams, razors and toothpaste are almost
identical to American, including names. You will get much better
prices on them in supermarkets than in Hotel Zone shops. Shampoos
are erratic. Rather surprisingly, some of the more obscure brands
are much better than the familiar well-advertised names. The best
place to buy shampoo is the pharmacy.
