Russian Creams and Blades

[Altair]

I recently ran in to a website based it Latvia that sells several different Russian Creams which are quite nice. I highly recommend you try them if you haven't.
the Tet A Tet Cream lathers up nicely very little is needed, It has a very light powdery violet scent (I think its violet) it also feels lightly cool. I like all the creams I received I think they just added a cream called Phyto which also looks very nice. any one try these or any other Russian creams or products I know they are hard to get here in the States. I'm glad I found this site just wanted to share it. shipping was also cheap and quick only took about a week to California and the creams where only a couple of Euros

I really like florina its very nice. I think that one is German. Those voskhod blades are smooth too. I am interested in that phyto I've heard good things about it as well.

How are the blades? Teflon coating sounds interesting. Don't think I've ever heard of these brands before so I might have to spring for a coupla these

Tet A Tet also has an after shave balm, the smell is pretty good in a synthetic kinda way. at first its a little unusual it grows on you, makes your skin feel nice.

Florena was the leading East German brand before the unification, an East German Nivea, who once licensed Nivea and are now owned by Beiersdorf, the parent of Nivea.

Ordered these about 10 days ago and anxiously awaiting the arrival!

Interesting! I'd like a chance to try some of those creams.

Does anybody here know enough to translate the labels?

the white tube,if you look closely,has an abstract drawing of a mountain top,the mountain is mt. everest,and thats what the tube says..the "kpem" means "cream" ,although it can be translated differently,tet-a-tet would be the same use as in the french tete-a-tete or personal meeting or rendezvous.i have tried these two creams and as with most all russian creams,they are great...

I'd be interesting in seeing what the rest of it translates to though. I'm sure some of it must be information about scents, etc.
