I've never tried that. Is it good?

It is an OK cream but I like others such as Kaloderma, Nivea, Palmolive, Maca Root and Musgo Real better. OTH it does smell like Old Spice after shave. Near as I can tell it is manufactured in India near Goa.

I guess brut was 'back then' but never seen hai karate. Not that i've looked much.

But interestingly (or not) i've seen mostly in Eastern Europe many Russian/Belorussian/Ukrainen/whatever aftershaves, shaving soaps etc that are more or less copies of the western brands. There was this AS, black bottle with a pic of a golden sailing ship. The scent was almost if not exactly like Old Spice. And the price for a big bottle was a joke, about 1 euros or so. Never bought, nowadays i use mostly water as my aftershave.

Aside from the ones mentioned...

In Germany: Speick
Italy: Valobra
If you make it down to Turkey: Arko
