Is there a good web store for this stuff in Norway?
The only Norsk site that comes to mind is:
http://www.mamut.net/ttt_fitjarsaapekokeri/
The English version is:

And I might add that those on this side of the pond who have tried Fitjars soaps/creams are very happy with them.
Two excellent shaving related forums:

I personally will leave B&B for the young'uns, not my cup of tea, but I'm an old fart with a good memory..........
My preference is for a well honed straight razor, a vintage Schick Injector (if you can find decent blades) or a good DE aka double edge bladed razor. The latter can still be had new, ditto for straight razors and there is a plethora of fine traditional shaving creams, soaps and badger hair brushes......
One of the original online retail sites that carries a lot of information on how to use this stuff is Classicshaving.com and you can go to the "How to and why" link. One of the main reasons so many of us moved on to cartridge razors and electrics was simply that our fathers never knew how to use the dang things, and could never teach us how to do it properly. Once mastered, a DE or straight is capable of giving you the most comfortable and close shave imaginable, but ONLY if you are willing to learn and are capable of using your hands for delicate work. It's not hard to learn for most people, but if you are of the 10 thumbs type or you just want to get the damn ordeal over with.... well, you'll probably be happier with something else and you don't care how much it costs.
I should point out that there are many fine retailers on the internet (who get my business over Classic Shaving due to my living in Canada) and the forums mentioned above will have links to those and there will be many ratings of such retailers in the forums, just like we do here when it comes to flashlights.
I can tell you all that there is nothing I look more forward to, than a great shave, but only after I learned how to do it properly.
