I have a friend who is a native of Turkey. She has returned home to visit her family. She sent me an email and inquired about bringing me Turkish shaving supplies. What's the recommendations from the SRP body of World Travelers. Thank You

I know you can get alum blocks cheap there. I think they have hones too.
Arko soap is from there I think, horse hair brushes. Probably cheap DE blades too.
Gaada cream is suppose to be the bees knees.
Something with real Rose Otto for sure.
Many good products are sold there for a fair price.
I often buy from a seller from there.
Their cheap brushes of boar and horse hair are a good buy for use or passing on; most at about $5 to $10.
I have tried these three products and happily so!
Nivea For men Shaving cream 100 ml
Arco shave creams
Kapo products ar very good
Not tried but from Bulgaria...those folks do a great job! Any splash or cream made there.
Shaving Cream Kupa(Kyna) 100 ml tube
Some of the wood shaving bowls are nice. but 3.5" inside may be small for some.
Just my take of such supplies

If Kapo is that one:

it is good stuff and very cheap, it is made in Bulgaria.
In that part of the world one can find Palmolive still, and Barbon which is a good shaving cream, I think they have AS splash as well.
Polsilver or Superiridium DE blades are made in Bulgaria as well, and I bet can be found in Turkey for very cheap.
Lot's of cool stuff to get there.
I've tried a decent amount of shaving creams
(Prorazo, Musgo Real from Portugal, Claus Porto Ach Brito, Dr. Harris, Essence of Scotland, Geo F Trumper, Castle Forbes, Taylor of the old Bond Street, Muhle, Tabac, Nivea...)
and I must say that Kapo shaving cream (Rubella) from Bulgaria is the best one I had so far!
Really rich, creamy, smooth cream, doesn't dry out as quickly as some others do
For now, I only tested the "classic", have a "sensitive" also though
well, I hadn't planned on using anything other than Tabac ever again. You gentlemen have just persuaded me to look on Amazon, and for a rather small price, I've treated myself to a tube of the sensitive stuff. Will report back
