[QUOTE=fonthunter;858798]Dinatali,
I asked at the CAOLA factory. Yes, this Caola Shaving Cream is hungarian product. ...but it's produced only for the Arabic markets.
In Hungary you can get only the other Caola product: the BARBON. (I don't use them.)



Thank you fonthunter, because in the begining I am Uncertainly that is Made in Hungary !! it's very cheap her
around 1$ only but the packing and smile looked like tradionaly wet shaving 100%

Yes, "Made in Hungary" and on the back is arabic text.

After a pretty crappy week at work I needed a shave that was nothing less than Awesome, so I chose my weapons carefully.
Prep: Hot Shower/Hot Towel
Strop: Osgar Vintage Shell Horse
Brush: Custom Silvertip Badger in Cocobolo
Razors: Vost 6/8, Pa's GEM
Uber: Tabac Cream, Tabac Soap + Glycerin
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel
Balm: C.O. Bigelow Mentha
A/S: David Craig Bay Rum
The Vost (Sheffield Steel) was a recent gift from Oz and was also honed by the man himself. What a fantastic edge he put on it, I knew it would satisfy me.
After 2 passes on the face with the Vost and 2 on the head with my Grandfathers Gem, the face is BBS and the head is shiny an a cue ball.
Shaves like this wont fix all the problems in the world, but they make you feel a WHOLE lot better.

Thanks for all the great posts and pics gentlemen, and have a great weekend.
Grant
