I visited St. Petersburg in 2014 via a 2-day cruise stop. I wish our agenda would have allowed me to do some shopping, but we had to stay on our ship overnight. In fairness, the, particularly the 'Winter Palace Tour' and Neva River dinner cruise were very enjoyable.
What Russian shave gear do you use?
- Thread starter Shattered dreams
- Start date
Does this count?
Along with the many excellent Russian blades, I have a Ti handle by a Russian maker that I really like. I have one of copper too.
I’ve heard that they’re nice places to visit. I’d like to make it over there eventually
Apart from lots of P&G blades I have some soaps from KatrineDo and Fenomeno Shave. Both artisans are pretty well-known among the Russian wetshaving community. KatrineDo products are pretty decent and inexpensive (at the pricepoint of the equivalent of 8-9$ per tub). Fenomeno on the other hand is quite pricey, especially for a local artisan (18-20$ per tub), however you can find some good deals. Qualitywise their triple milled soaps are exceptional.

If you were there in winter I believe they raise the various bridges at night (or they used to)so you could run the risk of not getting back to where you are staying. I remember back in the day folks wouldn’t admit to going to Russia
Of course I enjoy the abundance of blades. Gillette rubie is still on my want to try list. But. It much love (publicity) about those.
Our tour guide explained they still raise the bridges. I am a history buff, and would have no problem admitting I went to Russia or any country as a tourist.If you were there in winter I believe they raise the various bridges at night (or they used to)so you could run the risk of not getting back to where you are staying.

PPI Blades
I think the numbers speak of themselves:

In my case: mostly Voskhod, RPL. I tried an aftershave gel by Gillette several years ago also made in Russia, found it average and it's been discontinued.
Also I have tried using tea instead of tap water for shaving and my kettle is Russian ... does that count?
Where are your favorite blades manufactured
Loosely based on this thread. Please specify vendor/model and what other blades you have for comparison. Some countries did not make it into the top 10 because of poll size limitations: Bangladesh, Czech Republic, Greece, Israel, UAE - any others I don't know?
