Item Description
Price
I paid about $7.50 for this through an ebay seller. Over in Hungary or nearby countries I'm sure it goes for a couple of bucks. Not too bad considering this stuff isn't readily available in the states and offers a nice change from your typical American drugstore aftershaves.
Quality
It's a drugstore aftershave, but seems pretty decent. It comes in a plastic bottle with a little spout under the plastic cap. It's a drugstore aftershave and no one will mistake it for a top shelf product. It's definitely a bit better than the very cheapest aftershaves that have nothing good for the skin in them.
Ingredients are:
Aqua, Alcohol, Glycerine, Propylene Glycol, Allantoin, Menthol, Boric Acid, Urea, Parfum, C.I.42090, C.I.19140, Coumarin, Limonene, Everania Prunastri Extract.
Fights Razor Burn
No razor burn when I tried it, so no rating here.
Cooling Sensation
Quite strong. There is a pronounced menthol blast when you splash this stuff on. It pretty much masks most of the alcohol burn and the cooling lasts for a few minutes. Feels pretty nice even though I'm not usually nuts about menthol.
Scent
Green and mossy, with some heavy medicinal menthol to it. I actually like it, but the menthol smell is almost overpowering out of the bottle. Once the menthol relaxes, it leaves a faint scent on your skin that is just barely there after I put on my ASB or moisturizer. I like this a lot better than the modern "sport" type scents, and even some classic AS scents which are a little too sweet for me at times.
Efficacy
It does the job as well or better than any of your nicer drugstore splashes.
Moisturizing
It does have some glycerin but this is an alcohol splash, so I didn't rate it for moisturizing. With these aftershaves, I always use a balm.
No Alcohol Burn
The burn is hardly noticeable when applied with wet hands to a wet face because of the strong cooling effect. It's not harsh at all.
Overall, a nice aftershave worth seeking out if you like this sort of thing. It pairs well with the Barbon cream, and would go nicely with most barbershop/drugstore type shaving creams.

. It's well worth it.
