RUSSIAN speakers ??

[malocchio]

Anyone on our forum speak Russian ,or read Cryllic ? (different from Bulgarian Cryllic I hear)....I am running out of 2 of my favorite creams,and I cannot remember their names !(sorry...old age )..I "think" they are pronounced "TUM"....but I am not sure I remembered correctly.Need to get more of these 2 creams ,if you have any leads..ALSO !!...Need to know if this tube of Men Line Active is a shaving gel or aftershave balm.Any help is greatly appreciated !

[JRTASTER]

Good Luck in your quest! Several members here apparently have surnames which appear to be Russian.
certainly East-European!

I think Jeff (crackstar) will be able to help you here. I believe he is a linguist of the right kind, and he probably knows the creams inside out since he seems to have the most eclectic collection of foreign creams I have ever come across.

I can help you.
Men Line Active is shaving gel with Menthol for normal skin. The TUM cream Breeze is "Fresh", the one on the bottom is Sensitive.
I know where to buy them in Russia but not here.

Ron, the Breeze creams are no longer in production. I'm sorry to have to tell you this. Do you remember Dmitry? (Asd) He's the one who told me about that. I feel bad because I also like them.

Yes Jeff...haven't heard from Dmitry in a long long time...Sad news to hear these are discontinued,I used the "fresh" this morning,rich,thick ,extremely long lasting lather with incredibly nice scent....I will cherish the last few shaves with great fondness !

Ron, Dmitry is a sweet and dear friend of mine now. He sent me the Svezhest (Fresh) cream also and it is indeed very good. I use my tube of it perhaps once every two months because it's off the market. Uruma! (Swahili for a pity)

[beartrap]

Off the market or not, it is still available in Russia. If you want to get a group buy going, I will get you that cream. Shipping from there is PITA, no guarantees it will ever get here.

For future reference:

Гель для бритья = Gel' dlya brit'ya = Gel for shaving

Крем для бритья = Krem dlya brit'ya = ... you get the point

(Handwritten/cursive-style Russian looks very different, just as handwritten English looks very different - that's why almost the same words on the Tum tube look so different from what's on the Men Line tube.)

[Squire]

Ok, got it, no questions.

PITA: All shaving goods shipped from Russia come with flat bread.
