Creams from Russia--so many!

OK, I live in Lithuania and the only ones in our supermarkets are the usual Nivea and Florena. Some are reporting that Florena is the same Nivea, discounted. I can tell you that we here do NOT have *any* of the creams mentioned in your report. Too bad, as I would definitely would love to help fellow wetshavers.

 

Welcome to TSD!

In my very honest opinion, Nivea and Florena are 2 completely different and distinct creams. The Nivea cream seems to have been reformulated, and the Florena is still the same as it has always been.

 

I have not tried Nivea, but Florena is wonderful. the scent is funny at first but it grows on you. I enjoy it.

 

Jeff, is this because wet shaving is more popular in Russia? Just curious why they have such a wide variety of products.

 

Thank you, JoAnna! I'll gather a set of different items, but only reviewed here by crackstar, and PM you back, asking the details.

 

Dennis, I really don't know. I think Russia has a very large variety of cosmetics now for men, as well as women, which at one time may not have been available. I could be wrong, but this is what it seems to me.

 

If I could pick some of these up in The Shave Den Store I would be interested.

 

I'm interested-I'm in on any group buys or will certainly purchase some from TSD store if available. My family roots are from Russia/Lithuania so it'll be like having a birth-year Fat Boy.

 

Wow I love the packages on the Тет-а-Тет and the МонархьI must resist the temptation of going in a Russian shop to look for these.

 

As far as I remember Samurai is not Russian. I'm pretty sure it's from Belarus.

 

Have to agree. I thought it was made by Modum in Belarus.

 

Both the Tet-a-Tet shave cream and aftershave balm are really good.

 

WHAT??????????????????????? I never knew that. I don't know as much as everybody thinks I do. :ashamed001

 

I found an online vendor for Russian Shaving products, called Britva Man.

 

some of us have already purchased from this vendor. very good pricing, fast shipping, try the Voskhod blades they are teflon coated. smooth and sharp.

 

Well, I'll do my best to make Russian stuff available in TSD store! Hope it will be better as it helps to hold this great forum too!

 

You are fantastic, my friend!

 

Britva is a fine store that ships quick and has my beloved Voskhod blades! I have 1000 of them on order!

 

I am not sure about Voskhod. We do *not* have them here in Lithuania (the only ones that are available are Sputnik and Gillette Rubies). The only thing I know about britva.eu is that do not ship to the fellow Baltic States, ignoring them totally. Shame on them... (((
