The Shops
Ankara
Istanbul
The tourist-oriented parts of Istanbul are a difficult place to find shaving supplies. Any grocery store (Dia, BIM, etc) is likely to carry lemon cologne and Derby creams. Some may have brushes too. Blades seem to be most commonly sold by street vendors, who sometimes also sell brushes. Keep an eye out for brushes as you walk around, and you may get lucky. Shavettes are also fairly common.
