I'm not sure that's made in Russia. Careful what you ask for...Lenin's beard, Russian aftershave, razors....I may go all Crazy Ivan on you.
Well after a lot of searching and reading in another forum I can tell you that there is a Serbian shaving cream called Palmira. Seems like everything else there is an import. Arko is very popular and easy to find, apparently, but as for razors, blades etc. there is a vacuum! So I guess you can find Palmira shaving cream and have something from there.
Well I'm calling it. Looks like MAYhem wins the day. I appreciate the concern shown by some of you for my health and happy shaving. But, majority rules and I won't back down. Besides, this could be quite a learning experience and I'm always up to discover something new about shaving! Even if it requires a blood sacrifice to the shaving gods. I'll be posting the specifics either later tonight or tomorrow evening depending on when the pain pill kicks in. My head tends to bounce off my desk when that happens and I see pretty colors.
