I may have an opportunity to get some creams sent to me from Egypt. I know Ingram from Egypt is supposed to be great (blue and green). Does anyone know of anything else I should ask for in a package from Egypt?
Thanks

They also use Ingram, habibi.There’s Lord, Tamara, five fives, Man Look. Barbers in Egypt use either Lord or Tamara shaving cream.
Many Egyptian men love Nivea shaving cream. Mind if I ask you a question, do you speak Arabic, Rick?They also use Ingram, habibi.

I understand Arabic if it’s spoken slowly because I speak fluent Hebrew. I speak a little Arabic and according to my Egyptian friends I have a completely Egyptian accent. I’m of Hungarian Jewish origin and I’m fluent in:Many Egyptian men love Nivea shaving cream. Mind if I ask you a question, do you speak Arabic, Rick?
Ingram from Egypt comes in two variants - the original one is in a white tube with blue writing like the UK one and the Extra Cool type in a white tube with green writing. Both are excellent.I've only heard of ingram but never tried it.
Is the Ingram cream from Egypt similar to the Ingram cream that used to be made in the UK? I don't have anymore of the UK cream and was thinking of trying the Egyptian cream. I'm in the US, but I can get the cream from Egypt on ebay.Ingram from Egypt comes in two variants - the original one is in a white tube with blue writing like the UK one and the Extra Cool type in a white tube with green writing.

Yes and no. The Egyptian versions have the same scent and lather but the menthol sensation are stronger than the British one. The Egyptian creams don’t turn watery like the British Ingrams and the skincare seems to be better.Is the Ingram cream from Egypt similar to the Ingram cream that used to be made in the UK?
