In every grocery store even in a small villages you can find this shaving cream. Every man in Bulgaria knows it and every man use it even once in his life. In past years in communism was Bulgarian most used shave cream. Mostly because is Bulgarian ( maybe some people in Russia know it ). I remember it from early ages. My grandfather used it. I still have one in Old aluminium packages sealed and maybe I'm gonna pass it through years. Or used because I'm pretty sure I can shave myself after 30 years with it. It's a cheap cream ( about 2-2.50$ for cream and 3-3.50$ for aftershave ) and really a "chemical" but hey do the job. Have a really good slickness and make lather really really quick but dries the skin and that's why I don't like it very much. The aftershave is strongly alcohol the fragrance is mix between citrus, menthol and classical barber shops scent. When I use it memories comes in my mind about my grandfather who shaves every morning even if he stay at home all day. Which was like tradition to him or habit. Once he told me that when he was in trenches in World War 2 find his way to shave but you know he was from this old kind people tough son of a bitch. And maybe most of your grandfathers and fathers did that too. Very cheap materials to shave but really rich in precious memories! I write it in original name on Cyrillic " Kapo" and if I have to write it and translated to English I have to write it "Caro" and corresponds to "diamonds" in deck of cards. For safety razor I choose old Gillette Slim Twist England. I bought it a few months ago for 5$ just because I don't have nothing from my father and grandfather like shaving tools. I Try to remember and to find something near to the memories of what they useed. I was on early ages when he passed away. And I am amazed how good quality they make so long ago. Precised, everything works perfect. Even now this is great everyday shaver competitive with modern and expensive safety razors. Was a great day with great shave. I appreciate this games more and more.
