Brion is an economy cream from Serbia. Unlike the other Serbian creams the tube is labeled " sapun za brijanje" or " shaving soap"...I thought this was odd as all the other Serb creams are labeled " krema za brijanje ".....When I squeezed the non hermetically sealed plastic tube I discovered it took a LOT of squeeze pressure to get the stuff to come out...When I did get it out, it dropped into the mug in stiff, hard, dry mini logs of "soap"....Adding warm distilled water I discovered this semi liquid soap needs a good dose of water, add slowly ! or you'll over hydrate it....Nice, but unusual scent, too hard to describe...It is a true economy cream, as I only got a face shave, not enough lather left to get a head shave added....Surprisingly the BRION left my face more nourished and conditioned than any of the other Serb creams....Nice to try, it's different, but you'll get a good shave with it...There is a matching aftershave I have not tried..
