Thank you! It looks like I have some investigating to do.

 

I have not seen that duck before, I like it.

 

Phil, have a look at these Viking creams which I use - there are the ones which are produced in Russia. Viking originally started as a Bulgarian cream, but the company in Bulgaria sold the formulations to the Russians, who improved it! Here are what these creams look like:

Everyday I view this thread and dream. Great stuff everyone, especially those who have product that mere mortals can only dream about. Well Done TSD

What today's shave picture started as, at what the Double ISZ changed it into are two different things.

My Little Helpers

Hot/cold soaks and splashes
EBC preshave
Vulfix 404 Mixed
TSD ISZx2 Wheat
EJ89
Gillette 7 o'clock Yellow (4)
Witch Hazel
TSD ISZ Milk
Pinaud Lime Sec
Caswell Massey Jockey Club Talcum

I'm not sure why, I'm tired, cranky, have a headache, etc, but when it came time to shave a little while ago, it all came together.

The razor was on it's own power, the music played the band today.

When I finished, I had changed a couple of items, my face was BBS, and I was sitting here typing.

Here is the pic of my original items. U can see how the frosty mug taste of the ISZ wheat could influence me.

 

Thank you Jeff...that is good information to have.

 

Phil, all 3 of these Viking creams smell very nice, and they are all well-mentholated, especially the Blue Ice.

 

Carry them Phil, I'm salivating here

 

Gents, Phil has the information from Bruce's site, so he had some investigative work to do.

P.S. I am also interested in this as well!

 

Scott, I had the mazal to receive these Russian creams from a friend of mine here. I'll tell you dem emes, (the truth) they're better than the original Bulgarian formulations. S'iz geveyn a groisser putz hier wer hot mir gezogt doss die Bulgarishe cremes sind die beste. Ich hob im gezogt a mol, er veyst gurnisht!

 

I will see what I can do. It may take awhile.

 

Thank you Jeff...I will see if I can import them and if it makes sense financially.

 

I was lost after Emes-lol. But I think the gist is u thought the Bulgarian creams and now have seen the light-very loose translation-lol

I can imagine. So much more to being a fine foreign product to being a profitable product to market in the US.

I can tell you EXACTLY what it means - there used to be a big jerk here who told me in a private message that the Bulgarian creams are the best. I told him once that he don't know nothing!

 

thanx Jeff. U r for sure one of my guru's here

 

My friend, if you can do it that would be fantastic. I would certainly buy from you these creams. However, I have a feeling it would cost you more in the shipping and taxes and the Customs hassles than they are worth. I can see why vendors in North America don't bring in stuff like that. It is very expensive to, and their mark-up would be very small. In Russia, these creams sell for very, very cheap money and there is a big demand. Here in North America, we all know how most men shave.

 

Thanks, Boychik - from you that's a compliment!
