Enabled by @karlc , I ended up with these TDS soaps from Belarus. All 5 delivered for £26. Slight problem - I can't read Cyrillic and I've no idea what is what. They'll be referred to as Tree, Leaf, Purple, Red and Blue from this point forwards.

@Boycie83 My very basic cyrillic knowledge gives the following. You have clockwise from top left (rough translation) 1) Vetiver, 2) labelled as "mischief" for some reason! 3) Pine 4) Sandalwood and 5) Menthol.Enabled by @karlc , I ended up with these TDS soaps from Belarus.

Thanks Jester. Someone familiar with Cyrillic has kindly done the legwork for me. Following your Clockwise logic:@Boycie83 My very basic cyrillic knowledge gives the following.

Hope that matches with what you're getting smell wise?
Thanks Jester. Someone's familiar with Cyrillic has kindly done the legwork for me. Following your Clockwise logic:
1) Patchouli and Vetiver 2) Juniper (wasn't keen on this one - now rehomed with @merchant_seaman ) 3) Lavender and Musk 4) Sandalwood 5) Menthol
I'm looking forward to trying these.
I'd say they're P&B/Wickham level of firmnessWhat is the consistency like of those? Croaps or hard soaps?

I'll take that, as I haven't used my Russian since I studied it for one year back in the early ninetiesThanks Jester. Someone familiar with Cyrillic has kindly done the legwork for me. Following your Clockwise logic:

Just finished using both the cream and the splash. The cream has a strong citrus (lime/lemon) scent. The cologne is reminiscent of Proraso Green only with a more pronounced citrus note. Very fresh. I ordered both at 3 am Monday morning and received both today.
Yaqi Katana DLC finally made it through Customs ... also, bottle of LEA aftershave and a Semogue SOC Butterscotch from Connaughts. Very quick delivery there, as I only put the order in yesterday! Flummoxed by that one!
I'm going to use them over the next few shaves, Shubs. I'll keep you posted.Thanks for the info, so that's pretty good. I'd be intrigued in how you respond to them, the menthol one in particular.
On those grounds, I received my Yaqi Katana today, which I placed an order in their 11/11 sales. Slowest delivery ever!
the palmolive menthol is very good...in the summerThe result of @SeanC enabling. These arrived today. I'm impressed with how quickly they were delivered. Curiosity got the better of me regarding the Proraso foam and threw in a Palmolive menthol for good measure on a Maguire's order
