It's not my looks I am worried about, it's important things like sperm count .
Fair enough! I've got bigger problems...

I'm sure that's the image of the "perfect human" or something to that effect, or rather, highlighting the bone/muscle structure required to survive an otherwise lethal car accident.

Also in seriousness I think a number of people find boric acid and sodium tetraborohydrate (borax) drying. As for parabens, there's limits imposed on how much you can use in cosmetics so I don't concern myself too much with it. I'm sure I handle far worse chemicals... that being said I do have a 120 gramme bag of methylparaben in the lab...
Are you sure that was the shaving cream?No major nasties yet apart from TOBS sandalwood which gave me an itchy rash.
To my nose, I would say bit earthy, bit woody and a barely hint of oak moss. With that sweet background smell which is standard in all the Russian colognes in my collection. When I say sweet smell I actually mean sweet literally, not sweet meaning pretty. I hope it makes sense as I am not very good at describing scents. When you receive the Cyphr and Red Moscow you will understand better that 'sweet background' smell.My thoughts exactly, how would you describe the Tete-a-Tete?
Well boric acid will turn a flame green! Sometimes used in pyrotechnics demos or demos by teachers! Fun little fact for you! Borax used to be exceptionally common in washing powders/detergents and is alkali in solution so might be used to achieve either cleaning qualities or balance pH (though soaps are alkali anyway so I'd assume the former...).Quite right, "Graham" I think he was named
Interesting about boric acid, must admit I don't have a Scooby doo when it comes to ingredients so just try products and see how my skin reacts... No major nasties yet apart from TOBS sandalwood which gave me an itchy rash.

You can also mix a 50:50 pva glue : water mixture with borax and make "slime" for kids to play with!I have used it for ages as a laundry soap booster and also I mix a little with sugar & set out to kill cockroaches:

A love the old adds and the description of the cologne sounds divine.
A pretty cool old advert for what appears to be some Svodoba style shaving cream/balm and a bottle of "Triple" Cologne which is still available today and is supposedly named after the three ingredients... Lemon, bergamot & nerol.
Interestingly these are all creams. Don't the Russkies use soaps?I saw this today on ebay and find it quite amusing.
These are not Russian but Polish creams and aftershaves. Because Poland was an ex-Soviet Union state, @Rohleder I hope it will be o.k to show this here.
