Normally I don't use many international products but lately I've been on a kick wondering what other countries use. Today I'm curious about products made in Russia or used commonly in Russia. Do you use any products that come from there? I'm curious what most guys shave with who live in Russia.
What Russian shave gear do you use?

There’s a lot of blade brands made in St. Petersburg and Moscow. Gillette blades are from the PPI plant in St. Petersburg. My favorite blades are the Gillette Silver Blue made in the PPI plant
Most of my favorite blades are of Russian origin, mainly Gillette. I suspect that’s true for many people. If there is other Russian shaving gear available I’m not aware it exists. I have seen some vintage stuff but that’s about it.
I like all of the Mostochlegmash blades that I have tried (only Ladas still to go) so far.
Blades. Lots of Russian blades.
Since Gillette has a big factory in Russia, pretty much everyone has Russian made razor blades, so let’s move past that. I’m noticing more and more Soviet era razors for sale, but I haven’t really seen any interest or mentions on B&B.
Blades, mostly Polsilver
I have a couple mid-60s Soviet straights that are in my regular rotation.
Love Russian blades, especially those from St. Petersburg!! 
Not a big fan of most Russian blades but I do have a couple of Sajver (САЙВЕР) razors that get some use. They are meant to be used with 2 blades (of which one is broken in two halves) and a spacer but loaded like that it gives a terrible shave. Just loaded with the spacer and one blade it shaves really good.

Mostochlegmash blades.
HomeLikeShaving Taiga.
I also love their deja vu Aftershave, which smells very divenely, like cold oxygen coming thru Siberian Forest combined with Pine Trees all around.

I have a Ruby - 1 razor, vintage, made in the Soviet tank factory, all the Russian blades , a lavender aftershave , which is excellent , and several Russian creams ...
Lots of pg blades
Blades, blades, and more blades!
Just finished getting this guy ready for a shave test. Or should I say, ready for launch?
There are quite a few very good shaving creams made in Russia. Over the years I've used ones including Viking, Everest and Start. I particularly liked the Everest, but haven't been able to get hold of any for a few years.
It's a nice little razor. I have the blonde version.
I basically only use blades made in St. Petersburg nowadays.
These blades:
| Astra Super Platinum |
| Gillette Platinum |
| Gillette Silver Blue |
| King C. Gillette |
| Sputnik |
| Voskhod |
